How should I live my life? Is there really anything that is inherently
right or wrong? These may sound like simple questions, but finding
answers to them is anything but simple-particularly in an age of
ethical pluralism. In our multicultural, multiethnic world, is there
any meaningful way to talk about moral obligations? Daniel Lee says
yes. In Navigating Right and Wrong, this long-time ethicist and
teacher helps us begin to reconcile our personal moral commitments
with an openness to alternatives, with an eye to responsibly
negotiating ethics and morality in our pluralistic age. Through
concise, thoughtful prose and engaging anecdotes, Lee introduces
readers to various philosophical and theological moral theories,
ultimately arguing that we must embrace a faith-based ethics, or
succumb to the alternative-ethical subjectivism. In the final
analysis, Lee asserts, we can do no more than acknowledge that the
value claims we make are part of the faith we affirm, be it one that
is explicitly religious or entirely secular in nature. Assuming no
prior philosophical knowledge, Navigating Right and Wrong will be of
use to general readers, students, and anyone else who has ever
earnestly asked the question, Is there really anything that is right
or wrong?
