Book Description:
The new 'Briefly' series...does exactly what it says: it briefly introduces...key philosophical texts...in a very accessible way without compromising the ideas involved through oversimplification. The books are very useful for teachers...and also their students, who are able to read these short texts themselves. R.E. News SCM Brieflys introduce texts commonly studied at A level and Level One undergraduate courses in Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies. A comprehensive introductory chapter sets the text and its author in their wider context. The texts are analyzed and summarized in an accessible and yet thorough style that makes SCM Brieflys an essential study tool for all who want to engage in more depth with some of the key texts of philosophy, theology and related disciplines. 'Situation ethics' basically states that sometimes other moral principles can be cast aside in certain situations if love is best served. It is one of the main ethical theories studied in all introductory courses on Christian ethics.
