  • Educating Physicians for Moral Excellence in the Twenty‐first Century

    Open AccessLenny López, Arthur J DyckARTICLEJournal of Religious Ethics2009

    Medical professionals are a community of highly educated individuals with a commitment to a core set of ideals and principles. This community provides both technical and ethical socialization. The ideal physician is confident, empathic, forthright, respectful, and thorough. These ideals allow us to define broadly “the excellence” of being a physician. At the core of these ideals is the ability to be empathic. Empathy exhibits itself in attributes…

  • The Empathic Emotions and Self‐love in Bishop Joseph Butler and the Neurosciences

    Open AccessArthur J Dyck, C René Padilla et al.ARTICLEJournal of Religious Ethics2009

    In Joseph Butler, we have an account of human beings as moral beings that is, as this essay demonstrates, being supported by the recently emerging findings of the neurosciences. This applies particularly to Butler's portrayal of our empathic emotions. Butler discovered their moral significance for motivating and guiding moral decisions and actions before the neurosciences did. Butler has, in essence, added a sixth sense to our five senses: this i…

  • Taking Responsibility for Our Common Morality

    Open AccessArthur J DyckARTICLEHarvard Theological Review2005

    Scholars in all fields should hold themselves morally responsible for what they publish and teach. One would think that everyone would take this for granted, but Hilary Putnam, for one, has earnestly warned that we dare not.

    Open AccessArthur J DyckARTICLEHarvard Theological Review1972

    “Can you tell me, Socrates, whether virtue is acquired by teaching or by practice; or if neither by teaching or practice, then whether it comes to men by nature or in what other way?” These questions were once put to Socrates by Meno. How did Socrates, the patron saint of moral philosophy, reply? Leaving aside his ironic profession of ignorance, he proposed that the answer would only come once the nature of virtue was understood and defined

  • Referent-Models of Loving

    Open AccessArthur J DyckARTICLEHarvard Theological Review1968

    Love as a moral norm has a very prominent place within the discussions of contemporary Christian ethics. There are three definite trends especially evident in the most popular of these discussions of love. In the first instance, there is a tendency to make love serve as the sole norm in ethics. There is a second tendency to equate love with beneficence. This means, among other things, that love tends to be put into a utilitarian type of calculus …
