"Long associated with the Roman Catholic tradition, natural law is seen here as a legitimate philosophical position that can be justified without recourse to Christian theology. . . . Though the Christian ethics are a concern to many readers, McInerny is working from within the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition, arguing that, while distinct from theology, moral philosophy is best done in the context of faith. Recommended for philosophy and religion collections."--Library Journal

From the Publisher:
Examines the positions of Gilson and Maritain on the question of the nature of "Christian philosophy" and the possibility of an adequate moral philosophy independent of religious belief.
From Library Journal:
McInerny, who is both a mystery writer and a professional philosopher at Notre Dame, defends natural law as a basis for philosophical ethics. Long associated with the Roman Catholic tradition, natural law is here seen as a legitimate philosophical position that can be justified without recourse to Christian theology. Originally presented as the Michael J. McGivney lectures at the John Paul II Institute for Studies in Marriage and Family Life, these lectures are directed to a predominantly Catholic audience. Though Christian ethics are a concern to many readers, McInerny is working from within the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition, arguing that, while distinct from theology, moral philosophy is best done in the context of faith. Recommended for philosophy and religion collections in academic libraries.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the early 1930s, Emile Brehier inaugurated a dispute regarding whether or not true philosophy could have existed during the ages of faith, the assumption being that real philosophers are untouched by faith and are, ideally, non-believers. Etienne Gilson and Jacques Maritain, among many others, entered the fray, seeking to clarify what is meant by ""Christian philosophy"". Both of these philosophers were very much in the tradition of St Thomas Aquinas, and together they might be said to have set the stage for present-day discussions of just whether and what such a thing as a Christian philosophy might be. Ralph McInerny, both a Catholic philosopher in the Thomistic tradition and a writer, recounts the historical background of what might be called the autonomy of philosophy in a properly Christian philosophy and moves to his own resolution of the conflict, differing from both Gilson and Maritain. Chiefly concerned with the implications of this debate for moral doctrine, McInerny argues for a conception of Christian ethics that relies on the distinction between the activity of philosophising and the content of philosophy. ""The Question of Christian Ethics"" should be a valuable text for scholars working in the area of Aquinas's moral theory and in the area of natural law theory as well as for professors and students who cover this territory in both undergraduate and graduate courses. McInerny describes how a debate was initiated in the 30s on whether philosophy could have existed in the age of faith. Concerned with the moral aspect of ""Christian philosophy"", he argues for a Christian ethic that sees the distinction between philosophising and the content of philosophy.
