Beskrivning

In Children, Religion and the Ethics of Influence, John Tillson develops a theory concerning which kinds of formative influence are morally permissible, impermissible or obligatory. Applying this theory to the case of religion, he argues that religious initiation in childhood is morally impermissible whether conducted by parents, teachers or others. Tillson addresses questions such as: how we come to have the ethical responsibilities we do, how we understand religion, how ethical and religious commitments can be justified, and what makes children ethically special.

Recensioner i media

I appreciate the emphasis on influence here as it so directly raises the question of the ethics of justification. In this sense, I find Tillson’s approach extremely engaging ... [The book] provides a vital discussion of questions of influence and its justification.
