metaphysics and society a commentary on caritas in veritate
Theological Studies, 2010Co-Authors: Drew ChristiansenAbstract:The article examines the place of Caritas in veritate in the documentary tradition of Catholic Social teaching, its application of metaphysics to Social questions, and its interpretation of Social norms and the natural law. It treats the formative role of charity on government and world community and the application of the ethic of gratuitousness and communion on the market economy, government, and civil society. It concludes with a look at Social carriers in advancing the message of the letter and with the suggestion of possible topics for investigation in theology and Social Ethics.

to correlate psychology and Social Ethics gordon allport and the first course in american personality psychology
Journal of Personality, 1997Co-Authors: Ian A M NicholsonAbstract:ABSTRACT This article explores the historical origins of what is widely regarded as the “first course in American personality psychology”: Gordon Allport's 1925 course entitled “Personality: Its Psychological and Social Aspects.” It argues that the professional focus and disciplinary context of Allport's course were much more complicated than is generally believed. Far from being a completely novel and distinctively psychological venture, Allport's course drew upon the moral concerns and the pedagogical and discursive practices of Harvard's Department of Social Ethics. Allport's course on “Personality” represented a subtle attempt to bring Victorian concerns with character development together with the newly emerging ideal of objectivity.

Xenotransplantation—theological–ethical considerations in an interdisciplinary symposium
Xenotransplantation, 2015Co-Authors: Jochen Sautermeister, Richard Mathieu, Veronika BognerAbstract:Background Unlike allotransplantation, reflections on xenotransplantation are infrequent in theological literature. However, xenotransplantation poses questions specifically concerning ethical and theological aspects that are imperative to address, such as personal identity between the poles of body, soul, and mind, the relationship between humans and animals, as well as challenges regarding specific issues of medical and Social Ethics. Method This study summarizes the lectures of the symposium on “Xenotransplantation—a challenge to theological Ethics,” which took place in Munich from September 30 until October 2, 2013, and analyses the implications of xenotransplantation from the perspectives of Christian theological Ethics, biblical theology, and systematic theology. Furthermore, the issue of xenotransplantation is addressed from the perspectives of Judaism and Islam. Beyond these theological deliberations, the metaphorical and religious meaning of the human heart, which may have an impact on the societal acceptability of xenotransplantation, as well as the Christian notion of compassion regarding animals, is analyzed from the perspective of historical sciences. Results and Conclusion According to the perspectives of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, there are no specifically religious fundamental and generally binding reasons to prohibit xenotransplantation as a means of treating grave and life-threatening organ insufficiencies.

THE PROBLEM OF SocialISM IN LIBERATION THEOLOGY
Theological Studies, 1992Co-Authors: Peter BurnsAbstract:F ITS inception in the late 1960s Latin American liberation theology has been the subject of much controversy. Unquestionably one major factor in generating the heat surrounding the liberation debate has been the tendency, common to both its proponents and critics, to regard liberation theology as bound up with an unmistakeably left-wing political stance. Some have gone as far as to pronounce it Marxism pure and simple. This latter claim is one I reject. Nor do I accept that liberation theology is reducible to left-wing politics, even if conceived more broadly than Marxism as such. But there is a strong case to be made that a left-wing political posture, though somewhat indeterminate, has been a marked feature of liberation theology. In particular, many liberation theologians have at various times and in various ways made explicit a preference for Socialism over capitalism. In this article I will explore the possible meanings of this preference, the reasons adduced for it, and some of the criticisms made of it. I will confine my discussion to the issue of what might be called "the Socialist option," and will not examine the related but separable issues of the use in liberation theology of Marxism and of dependency theory. At first sight this might appear an unwise or unworkable separation, since Marxism is obviously a major source of inspiration for much Socialist thinking, and has had some influence on liberation theology; and dependency theory played an important role in the ''break" with traditional Catholic approaches to Social Ethics which made liberation theology stand out as a novel and distinct theological movement. I would defend the separation on several grounds: that the acceptance of Socialism does not depend on a prior evaluation of the core theory in Marxism, namely historical materialism; that few if any liberation theologians appear to subscribe to that core theory in any case, at least in anything like its classical form; and that analogous remarks can be made substituting dependency theory for Marxism.
