Focus on Religious Ethics and Ai
Does religious ethics have anything meaningful to say about the many difficult metaphysical, ethical, and theological questions surrounding artificial intelligence (AI)? The four articles featured in this Focus Issue suggest that it does. Mariele Courtois's essay focuses on the cultivation of prudence as a necessary virtue for the moral life and raises concerns about how increasing reliance on AI may distort the nature of practical moral reasonin…
Augustine, AI , and the Two Models of Language
This article explores the two models of language articulated by Ludwig Wittgenstein and Augustine. It examines first, the central roles of language in humans and intelligent machines, and second, the implications of these models for understanding what it means to be human, as well as the promises and limits of AI systems. The strength of the Wittgensteinian model is particularly evident in how AI systems emulate certain types of inferential reaso…
Eudaimonism and the Ground of Normative Reasons
This essay develops an argument against eudaimonism in support of John Hare's earlier critique of eudaimonism. In contrast to Hare, who mounts a Kantian‐Scotist objection to what he calls a single‐source view of motivation in eudaimonism, my critique of eudaimonism focuses on the ground of normative reasons in eudaimonism while also taking a page from Scotus's ethics. I argue that the main issue with eudaimonism is with the ultimate end and manne…
Weakness of Will and Practical Identity
In this article, I develop an Augustinian response to some contemporary philosophical proposals concerning the problem of weakness of will. I argue that many philosophers tend to cast the problem in terms of irrationality, focusing on psychological components such as judgment, desire, and resolution. In contrast, I contend that weakness of will has more to do with the absence of a coherent conception of practical identity and with a misleading co…
Religious Ethics and Constructivism
Normativity in Comparative Religious Ethics
This essay seeks to clarify the meaning and nature of normativity in metaethics and offers reasons why comparative religious ethics (CRE) must properly address questions about normativity. Though many comparative religious ethicists take CRE to be a normative discipline, what they say about normativity is often unclear and confusing. I argue that the third‐wave scholars face serious questions with respect to not only the justification of moral be…
Models of Moral Realism in Christian Ethics
In recent decades, the idea that moral facts are not discovered but constituted by some hypothetical procedure or the attitudes of rational agents has been gaining support inside and outside of religious ethics. Often referred to as constructivism, this metaethical view proposes that moral facts are constituted by the attitudes of agents, i.e., what people would agree under some rational or idealized procedures of construction, not by facts deter…
