Knud Ejler Logstrup's The Ethical Demand is the most original influential Danish contribution to moral philosophy in this century. This is the first time that the complete text has been available in English translation. Originally published in 1956, it has again become the subject of widespread interest in Europe, now read in the context of the whole of Logstrup's work. The Ethical Demand marks a break not only with utilitarianism and with Kantianism but also with Kierkegaard's Christian existentialism and with all forms of subjectivism. Yet Logstrup's project is not destructive. Rather, it is a presentation of an alternative understanding of interpersonal life. The ethical demand presupposes that all interaction between human beings involves a basic trust. Its content cannot be derived from any rule. For Logstrup, there is not Christian morality and secular morality. There is only human morality.
This text questions developments in human genetic research from the perspective of persons with mental disabilities and their families. The author points out that the possibility of preventing disabled lives is at odds with our commitments to the full inclusion of disabled citizens in society.

This work provides an overview of the research of Lawrence Kohlberg, best known for his theory of stages of moral development. The book illustrates how the Kohlbergian project has much to offer the debate about moral psychology and how to renew our society's jaded sense of fairness.
In his latest book, Marshall Gregory begins with the premise that our lives are saturated with stories, ranging from magazines, books, films, television, and blogs to the words spoken by politicians, pastors, and teachers. He then explores the ethical implication of this nearly universal human obsession with narratives. Through careful readings of Katherine Anne Porter's "e;The Grave,"e; Thurber's "e;The Catbird Seat,"e; as well as David Copperfield and Wuthering Heights, Gregory asks (and answers) the question: How do the stories we absorb in our daily lives influence the kinds of persons we turn out to be? Shaped by Stories is accessible to anyone interested in ethics, popular culture, and education.
In this volume Russell Hittinger presents a comprehensive and critical treatment of the attempt to restate and defend a theory of natural law, particularly as proposed by Germain Grisez and John Finnis.
Investigates the intent, method, and structural unity of Thomas Aquinas's Summa Contra Gentiles. In this innovative study Thomas Hibbs goes against the grain of most traditional interpretations of the work and argues that the intended audience is Christian and that its subject is Christian wisdom.
