Beskrivning

Against the individualism and abstractionism of standard modern accounts of justification and epistemic merit, Wolterstorff incorporates the ethics of belief within the full scope of a person's socio-moral accountability, an accountability that ultimately flows from the teleology of the world as intended by its creator and from the inherent value of humans as bearers of the divine image. This study explores Nicholas Wolterstorff's theory of 'situated rationality' from a theological point of view and argues that it is in fact a doxastic ethic based upon the theology of Wolterstorff's neo-Calvinist, Kuyperian background, which emerges in terms of his biblical ethic and eschatology of shalom. Situated rationality, the sum of Wolterstorff's decades-long work on epistemology and rationality is a shalom doxastic ethic - a Christian, common grace ethic of doxastic (even religious doxastic) pluralism.

Recensioner i media

"...Shannon did those interested in Christian epistemology and social ethics a great service by presenting Wolterstorff's work on these issues so clearly and cohesively, and perhaps he does them an even greater service by providing an ideal starting point for further exploration of these important topics."-Bart Cusveller, Philosophia Reformata, Vol. 81, 2016"Shannon has done a great service to scholars in unifying the thoughts of Wolterstorff as well as making his work readily accessible. The footnotes alone provide a wealth of information that make this book a valuable resource for study on Wolterstorff. Furthermore, Shannon's thoughts on neo-Calvinist ethics, while not his main focus, are balanced and provide a good entry into Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck's ethics. This is a must read for those interested in the work of Nicholas Wolterstorff."-Gregory Parker Jr., Reading Religion, 30th August 2016
