Nielsen, Kai.
God and the Grounding of Morality. - Ottawa : University of Ottawa Press, 1997. - 1 online resource (230 pages) - Philosophica . - Philosophica. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction; CHAPTER 1 God and the Good: Does Morality Need Religion?; CHAPTER 2 Hobbesist and Humean Alternatives to a Religious Morality; CHAPTER 3 An Examination of the Thomistic Theory of Natural Moral Law; CHAPTER 4 The Myth of Natural Law; CHAPTER 5 On Taking Human Nature as the Basis of Morality: An Exercise in Linguistic Analysis; CHAPTER 6 Scepticism and Human Rights; CHAPTER 7 On Human Rights; CHAPTER 8 Grounding Rights and a Method of Reflective Equilibrium; CHAPTER 9 On Sticking with Secular Morality; CHAPTER 10 Politics and Theology: Do We Need a Political Theology? CHAPTER 11 God and the Basis of MoralityIndex.
These essays make a single central claim: that human beings can still make sense of their lives and still have a humane morality, even if their worldview is utterly secular and even if they have lost the last vestige of belief in God. "Even in a self-consciously Godless world life can be fully meaningful," Nielsen contends.
