Coherence and Verification in Ethics
Author: Ralph D. Ellis
Publisher: University Press of America
ISBN: 9780819184115
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This book is an attempt to come to grips with the problem of the epistemological basis of ethical beliefs by building on criticisms of approaches to this problem which have been attempted in the recent past. Because of the extensive discussions and criticism of these various alternatives, the book may be useful to all who are concerned with the epistemology of ethics. Included are criticisms of the prescriptivist and emotivist alternatives growing out of the logical positivist tradition; various forms of intuitionism; the now popular coherentist approach; the rationalism of Gewirth and other is-ought derivations; and phenomenology (including its intuitionistic manifestations, as in Hartmna, and its anthropologist ones as in Scheler). Although each of these schools is found insufficient to accomplish the task alone, certain elements in each of them are necessary components of a workable moral epistemology.

The Modern Day King

Pages : 52
Book Description
What does God expect from us as a believer in Him? Was there a blueprint that He laid out for us to follow? The answer is yes. And not just with the Ten Commandments or in Jesus's teachings. God gives an illustration when He first laid out the expectations for His people's designated ruler in Deuteronomy 17. Following these directions would allow the king to rule with wisdom and with faith. But looking at this guide in the Old Testament gives us a set of advisements that we can follow. The Modern-Day King is a detailed comparison of God's instructions to Israel's kings and how they are also instructions to modern day believers
