Beschreibung
Moral Struggle and Religious Ethics offers a comparative discussion of the challenges of living a moral religious life. This is illustrated with a study of two key thinkers, Bonaventure and Buddhaghosa, who influenced the development of moral thinking in Christianity and Buddhism respectively. * Provides an important and original contribution to the comparative study and practice of religious ethics * Moves away from a comparison of theories by discussing the shared human problem of moral weakness * Offers an fresh approach with a comparison of the understanding of the problem of moral weakness between the two key thinkers, Bonaventure and Buddhaghosa * Written by a highly respected academic in the dynamic and fast-growing field of comparative religious ethics
Rezensionen
"Clairmont has given us a significant contribution to comparative ethics and comparative theology more broadly. Best of all, Clairmont reflects in depth on the current discussion concerning the hermeneutics of comparison. I strongly recommend this book."
--Rev. James L. Fredericks, Ph.D. Loyola Marymount University
"Over the past several years, comparative religious ethics has emerged as a centrally important interdisciplinary line of research, crossing the boundaries among religious studies, history, anthropology, and ethics. David Clairmont's book offers a strikingly original contribution to this emerging field."
--Jean Porter, John A. O'
"David Clairmont is one of a new generation of scholars who possess the requisite philological and philosophical skills to undertake serious comparative study of thinkers from radically different traditions. This work shows what we have been missing up to now. It offers meticulous comparisons between them on issues such as sacramental and meditative practices, understandings of the cultivation of virtue, and the nature and purpose of religious and ethical languages, and he has acute and thought-provoking things to say on all of them. This book is part of a new era in religious ethics."
--Charles Mathewes, University of Virginia
