What role do our worldviews, i.e. our understanding of nature/science, the individual, society, the divine etc., take in shaping our moral philosophy or ethics? In fact what is the difference between morality and ethics itself? Furthermore, what is the nature of ethics within a religious framework? How does a particular theology condition a morality? Here in the following space we will explore these issues and more via turning to the ancient Greeks.

The Problem of Relativism and Pluralism for Democracy
Check out this book review for an interesting discussion that fits within our discussion these last few days....
Reading this piece, I got a really great impression. The review seemed so extremely deep, and relevant too. I was intrigued. But when I went looking for a copy of the book, I was deflated. Loyola only has one title under Talisse, on amazon- I couldn't believe it, a list price of $90.00 for what Terence Ball describes twice as brief. It all felt very elitist, I like to think Socrates would be ready to do battle with this publishing company if he was here.
That being said, I would be very interested in seeing a copy of it. Do you have any Talisse?
