Commentary on the Unesco IBC report on respect for vulnerability and personal integrity: (Article 8 of the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights )
Imagination and medical education
Rival and apparently exclusive views have been canvassed about the instrumental use of the humanities in medical education. The novel is seen as offering exemplifications of moral principles on the one hand, whilst on the other such an approach is said to miss the essence of reading a novel by misrepresenting the engagment of the reader. The use of the humanities in medicine as a stimulus to reflective practice is presented as a preferable accoun…

Can Philosophers Limit What Mystics Can Do? A Critique of Steven Katz
Some philosophers such as Ninian Smart have claimed that mystics from different religious traditions may sometimes have the same experience , while nevertheless giving different and tradition-bound descriptive reports of that experience. In two important essays, Steven Katz has challenged such a claim. Mystics from different religious traditions do not have the same experience
Mysticism and Morality
In The Moral Mystic James Home has written a sequel to his Beyond Mysticism , where he ably explored a variety of philosophical issues arising from mysticism. This time his study has a special focus, and he makes an important contribution to the ongoing philosophical discussion of relations between religion and morality. As Home notes, “There is a very wide consensus in the philosophic world that religion and morality are independent of each othe…
Faith and Belief
The next contrast, like that between grammatical beliefs and non-grammatical beliefs, has to do with what is believed. My labels for the contrast may be misleading, but I have not found better ones. Some beliefs are ‘ existential ’, others are ‘ non-existential ’. You will be misled if the labels suggest my earlier contrasts between intentional and non-intentional or attitudinal and non-attitudinal, or the contrast often made between what exists …
Faith and Belief
What is religious faith? Contemporary philosophy of religion and philosophical theology provide a bewildering abundance of different answers to this question. In this essay I shall sketch an over-view of some of the literature, in the form of a classificatory schema. I hope that this schema will enable the reader to distinguish with greater clarity some of the various kinds of issue which arise. My focus will be on contrasts between faith and bel…

Keen on authentic man
Ian Ramsey on Talk about God
The relation between I and my bodily behaviour does not provide an apt analogy for the relation between God and I , or between God and any of the many particular ‘mores’ of particular observables. The relation between the one divine ‘more’ and the many particular ‘mores’ needs another kind of analogy if it is to be at all intelligible. Ramsey seems to be hinting at another kind of analogy, another kind of approach to the use of the word ‘God’ as …
Ian Ramsey on Talk about God
For Ian Ramsey, talk about God raises many philosophical problems: ‘If we are not to use anthropomorphic concepts like love, power, wisdom, we cannot talk about God; but if we do use them, how do we manage to talk of God and not man?’ (MJGC152) ‘Believers wish on the one hand to claim that he (God) is indescribable and ineffable, and yet on the other hand to talk a great deal about him. Nay more, when they speak of God they say that he is transce…
