Moral demands and personal obligations: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Moral demands and personal obligations" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

In this collection of recent essays (1988-92), all but one previously unavailable in English, noted theologian Josef Fuchs, SJ, examines key issues in normative morality. Identifying two strains, one based on natural law and a more situational one based on the Golden Rule, he explores the need for plurality in both individual and societal ethics, and the problem of universal versus only general validity. Central ideas that Fuchs develops are the concept of innovative morality as the individuals responsible search for Gods will in personal situations; and, the significance of the conscience in the face of official statements by the churchs magisterium. Among the topics he considers are marriage and sexuality; the beginning and end of life; and, international solidarity and social justice.
