Grace and Freedom in a Secular Age: Contingency, Vulnerability, and Hospitality
Agency Is Ecological: Comparative Religious Ethics and the Greening of Moral Theory
Developments along various epistemic fronts have been gradually modifying our ethical conception of what constitutes agency. For several reasons, we should acknowledge in particular that there is an irremediably ecological character to moral action, in a number of respects. After providing a broad analysis of the ecological turn in moral theory, I reflect on some of its implications for our understanding of the historicity of morals. I then comme…
Just change: Achieving sustainable, healthy diets with nutrition equity
One Good Turn Deserves Another
Elizabeth Bucar has provided a service to the guild with her introduction to the emergent field of visual ethics. In this comment I undertake to expand the picture she presents. I argue that the visual dimension of ethics includes a “dark side” not addressed in her piece, and go on to consider a number of current avenues of inquiry in which religious ethics intersects with visual studies. After briefly considering some of the distinctive methodol…
Sport Is a School of Peace”: Sports for Development, the Francis Effect, and New Directions in Catholic Peacebuilding
Programs combining peace and development work with sports have begun to proliferate in the global Catholic community, and Pope Francis has lent his considerable popularity to efforts to integrate the pursuits of sports, religion, and peace. This article proposes that the conditions are in place for the growth of a vibrant Catholic sports‐for‐peace movement. These conditions include (1) a burgeoning international sector using sports to enhance hum…
Constitutive Justice
"Both classical and modern accounts of justice largely overlook the question of how the communities within which justice applies are constituted in the first place. This book addresses that problem, arguing that we need to accord a place to the theory of 'constitutive justice' alongside traditional categories of distributive and commutative justice." -- From publisher
The Heterological Quest: Michel de Certeau’s Travel Narratives and the “Other” of Comparative Religious Ethics
One of the central methodological issues for contemporary practitioners of comparative ethics is how to conceptualize and relate to the “other” encountered in cross‐cultural studies. A valuable resource for reflection on this problem is the work of the French historian and cultural theorist Michel de Certeau, whose diverse opus coheres around his notion of heterology—a “science of the other.” In this article I explore perspectives on the cultural…
Beyond the Nations: The Expansion of the Common Good in Catholic Social Thought
In recent years it has become increasingly common to speak of the international or global common good. It remains unclear, however, what political content attaches to this expression, and how it relates to more traditional conceptions of the common good rooted in the context of thepolisor the nation-state. This article examines the ramifications of extending this time-honored concept to a transnational framework, focusing in particular on the evo…
Ethics of Citizenship: Immigration and Group Rights in Germany
Who is to be included in a political community and on what terms? William A. Barbieri, Jr. seeks answers to these questions in this exploration of the controversial concept of citizenship rights - a concept directly related to the nature of democracy, equality, and cultural identity. Through an examination of the case of Germany's settled guestworkers and their families, Ethics of Citizenship investigates the pressing problem of political in a wo…
