Research paper thumbnail of Watershed or Cul-de-Sac? Disputes in the Theological Reception of Kant’s Philosophy

Four intellectual backgrounds of objections are examined: an Aristotelian and Thomistic teleological order of nature (1); Augustinianism based on original sin in which human agency is completely attributed to God’s grace (2); a Hegelian critique of the deontological conception of an “unconditional ought” which also puts Kant’s postulate of the existence of God into question (3); the combination in Radical Orthodoxy of a postmodern critique of the subject, an Augustinian view of human nature, and a monistic understanding of the Trinity (4). Their different diagnoses why Kant’s work constitutes a cul-de-sac are contrasted with theological positions that welcome it as a watershed: its move from ontology to human subjectivity; from a biologically transmitted inescapable sin to a freedom for good and evil; from a strict reciprocity to an unlimited scope of ethics that is faced with the question of meaning...

That ethical crisis is matched by a metaphysical: what are individuals? Whitehead’s belief that every thing is a complex of’graded societies of actual occasions’, and in turn contributes to yet more complex societies, may provide a basis for the inegalitarian tendencies of process ethics, but also makes it unreasonable to speak of ’individuals’ rights’ (since the interests of any particular grade of society can be subsumed in those of a larger). Individualism isn’t easily contrasted with collectivism when any individual is itself a collectivity. Species and ecosystems may be ’quasi-individuals’ even if there is no unifying occasion where all the experiences they contain are gathered into one. After all, we are individuals even though we don’t consciously experience everything our constituent cells experience. Leopold and Callicott are interrogated in detail. So, finally, are the claims of ’deep ecologists’ such as Arne Naess and Warwick Fox. Palmer’s conclusion is that process thinking offers an anthropomorphic interpretation of existence that legitimates exactly the claim of human superiority that, on other accounts, has brought us to our crisis. Better, perhaps, to remember the more classical view: that God and the world are something other than each other, and than us, and that more is of value than ’intensity’ of experience. In Lindsay’s Voyage to Arcturus it is discovered that the whole of creation lives in misery so that one entity can experience joy. The vision is not of any god worth worshipping, and neither is the real value of the world thus vindicated instrumentally. Palmer’s detailed and well-informed examination of contemporary environmentalism and of process thinking will be essential reading for moralists and theologians, quite apart from its conclusions, but those conclusions are themselves well worth respecting.

Research paper thumbnail of What Scope for Ethics in the Public Sphere? Principled Autonomy and the Antinomy of Practical Reason

Studies in Christian Ethics

What is the significance for the scope of ethics when two neo-Kantian theorists of public reason, John Rawls and Jürgen Habermas, propose a reduced reading of the ‘antinomy’ highlighted in Kant’s analysis of practical reason? The desire for meaning, unrelinquishable for humans, is frustrated when moral initiatives are met with hostility. Kant resolves the antinomy between morality and happiness by invoking the concept of a creator God whose concern that our anticipatory moral actions should not fail encourages the hope on which human agency relies. Defining the scope of ethics by the unconditional character of reason ( Vernunft) rules out the minimisation of ethics to what can safely be expected to be delivered.

Interdisciplinary Journal for Religion and Transformation in Contemporary Society

The enquiry whether human dignity as the translation of the biblical designation of the human per... more The enquiry whether human dignity as the translation of the biblical designation of the human person as imago Dei should continue to be the framework used to ground human rights and specify their realisation, is developed in five parts. The first identifies two understandings of dignity in the public realm, one inherent-transcendental, the other empirically verifiable. The second section compares the use of “dignity” in three traditions of Catholic Theological Ethics: virtue, natural law, and autonomy. In view of doubts whether theological anthropology should still be the primary location for expounding the meaning of imago Dei, the third section discusses attempts to absorb anthropology into ecclesiology. The modern history of reception of this biblical term by J.G. Herder is outlined in section four, before drawing conclusions from the previous enquiries for the question which language theological ethics should use in public discourse, imago Dei or dignity.
