Synopsis

This flexible, new series provides the only introductory material organized around such well-defined issues What conditions justify exceptions to moral principles? What are the possibilities of belief in God being rational? Each volume contains eight to ten selections averaging between fifteen and twenty pages, and an introduction which gives a clear statement of the problem, points out a variety of possible approaches, and locates each reading in the structure the editor has erected. The readings are both classical and contemporary; and all directly relate to each other, one criticizing and advancing alternatives to the other. Selections were chosen because of their merit and comprehensibility. The series, therefore, includes a volume devoted to questions about justice and equality, several volumes on substantive moral issues rather than meta-ethical questions, and a volume that treats many different approaches to the evaluation of religious belief, contemporary as well as classical.
