Reviews

[John Lucy]

First of all, Grisez and Shaw don't do a great job explaining what the "new morality" is. They try to start from the basics to establish their own ethics, and that sort of works, but when they pivot to indeed staking the boundaries of their thought, the borders are still unclear. There are a number of ideas from the "new morality" that I strongly disagree with, but I wouldn't know it from reading this book; and, likewise, a number of ideas that I do agree with but am left not knowing for sure why Grisez and Shaw would argue against them.

Perhaps one of the main issues here is that the authors write about the building blocks of ethics and then transition into their own as if assuming that the building blocks obviously translate to their own ethics. But, clearly, with a diverse history in ethics, that's not the case.

[Michael Glawson]

In short, this is the most precise, subtle, comprehensive, methodic, and powerful piece of natural theology I've ever read. An excellent book.
