- Title
RE-THINKING THE ETHICS OF PARSIMONY, PART TWO: "CULTIVATED DEVIANCE" (OR NOT CHEATING CONTINGENCY).
- Authors
Payne, Michael W.
- Abstract
The article analyzes the impact of rules-based ethical approaches on the moral judgment and imaginative discernment in Christian living. The attractiveness of rules and act-based ethics is based on an impoverished understanding of moral reasoning that is predicated on a fallacious view of moral concepts and terms as univocal and literal. The misunderstanding of moral reasoning leads to oversimplification of moral living. It examines the suggestive use of the cluster terms dokimazo, aesthesis and aestheteria made by apostle Paul.
