Opis: A Handbook of Christian Ethics (Classic Reprint) - Murray J. Clark

Excerpt from A Handbook of Christian Ethics<br><br>The science of Christian Ethics is defined by its name. It is a science of Ethics, but of Ethics interpreted in the light of the Christian ideal. The name thus calls for an explanation of two points - (1) the drift of Ethics in general; (2) the modification of Ethics by the peculiar ideal of Christianity.<br><br>1. Ethics belongs to that class of sciences which have sometimes been characterised as normal or normative. These stand in contrast with sciences which are properly styled natural. A natural science, in the simplest meaning of the term, deals with the laws in accordance with which phenomena actually recur. But man's life is not completely explained by these laws. He is capable of proposing to himself ends in life, and of directing his conduct with a view to the attainment of these. Such an end thus furnishes a norm for the regulation of life, and the laws which must be observed for the attainment of such an end form subjects for a normal science.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
