RELIGION / PHILOSOPHY
Did the Gulf War defend moral principle or Western oil interests? Is violent
pornography an act of free speech or an act of violence against women? In
Casuistry and Modern Ethics, Richard B. Miller sheds new light on the poten-
tial of casuistry—case-based reasoning—for resolving these and other ques-
tions of conscience raised by the practical quandaries of modern life.
Rejecting the packaging of moral experience within simple descriptions
and inflexible principles, Miller argues instead for identifying and making
sense of the ethically salient features of individual cases. Because this practical
approach must cope with a diverse array of experiences, Miller draws on a wide
variety of diagnostic tools from such fields as philosophy of science, legal rea-
soning, theology, literary theory, hermeneutics, and moral philosophy.
Opening new avenues for practical reasoning, Millers interdisciplinary
work will challenge scholars who*are interested in the intersections of ethics
and political philosophy, cultural criticism, and debates about method in reli-
gion and morality.
“This is a serious, highly intelligent, compelling work that should generate
considerable interest. A philosophically rich book exemplifying a ‘case-based
method’ for ethical decision-making is welcome, and offers a real alternative
to excessively ‘legalistic’ reasoning.”
—Jean Bethke Elshtain, University of Chicago
“Casuistry and Modem Ethics provides a rich and nuanced discussion and
defense of a major methodological perspective in both ancient and contem-
porary ethics. Miller penetrates to the heart of positions and arguments,
focuses his discussion on what is crucial, and carries his argument through a
quite diverse range of materials, illuminating various topics and contributing
to several contemporary debates along the way.”
—James Childress, University of Virginia, Charlottesville
richard b. miller is professor and director of graduate studies in the
Department of Religious Studies at Indiana University. He is the author of
Interpretations of Conflict: Ethics, Pacifism, and the Just-War Tradition, also
published by the University of Chicago Press.
