Situation Ethics Debate, The : Critical back talk about Situation Ethics and a sharp reply from Joseph Fletcher
Outline: "Situation Ethics rang a bell without thousands of readers," says the editor - and the clamor of praise and criticism is pealing loud and clear in lay and theological circles. "Racy" and "frightening and ruthless," "what [situationism is] is a deterioration in morals," says the critics. "Sprightly," "a great book," "a watershed in the history of moral theology," say the applauders. Who is right? You can't really answer that until you've read this read this new book and heard both sides! Illustrating the wide variety of responses to this book and heard both sides! Illustrating the wide variety of responses to this book, the material in this book has been arranged in three sections, sandwiched between Harvey Cox's Introduction and Professor Fletcher's reaction. The first section brings together reactions of churchmen, housewives, editors, students, and the judgment of two arbiters of American morality, Time and Playboy. The second contains short pieces from "Reviewers and Pundits." The third includes the more lengthy and scholarly material, "Assays and Estimates." This book will draw the reader more deeply not only into the debate about this book but also into the ongoing controversy about choices and decisions which is the substance of human life itself.
