About this title

Synopsis

Utilitarianism, contractarianism, existentialism, virtue ethics—which moral theory is right? How does one know which theory he should hold to? These are the types of questions that Craig Vincent Mitchell intends to answer in this book. He does so by employing Alvin Plantinga’s metaphysics and epistemology as a model for Christian ethics. His thesis is that epistemology is analogous to ethics. Consequently, the right epistemic theory will serve as a pointer to the right ethical theory. If Plantinga’s epistemic theory is correct, as Mitchell believes, then that will point the way to the right ethical theory.
