Title: Personal ethics in an impersonal world
First published: 1967
Description: Nowadays you rarely find a book that deals with personal ethics in the context of philosophy and theology. This book does--and its focus on the effect of the "impersonality" of our world makes it unique. As our society makes us increasingly dependent on other persons, there is a continuing need for a personal morality, and a call for new relationships intermediate to those which are fully personal and those which are "open" and impersonal. But the sense of social responsibility that marks today's theological ethics, our scientific resources for overcoming ignorance and prejudice, and the universal obligations our moral philosophers formulate, point to a coming social morality that will transcend class, racial, cultural and religious barriers.
