What is Ethics All About?

de Herbert McCabe

Father McCabe, a well known British writer and lecturer of the Dominican Order, aims at explaining, in the five essays that comprise this book, the different ways in which one may think of ethics, rather than at formulating a definition of ethics, or at applying Christian principles to moral problems. The first essay considers love as a basic model for ethics. The second discusses the idea that ethics is essentially a matter of observing the basic laws of human nature. The following three chapters are concerned with the relationship of ethics to communication -- with the fact that man makes use of conventional signs and symbols -- and with the significance of the fact that men communicate not only in such symbols, but also through Jesus who is ""the communication of the Father."" McCabe is a sufficiently good writer, and certainly a sufficiently articulate exponent of ""communication in Christ"", to attract a readership.
