| Sumario: | The author claims that his aim is twofold: to introduce the main paths taken by Catholic moral theology in the twentieth century and to expose the deficiencies of the dominant academic versions of conscience-centered Catholic moral theology. In the end, Levering concludes that 'conscience - centered morality is largely a program of individual and collective liberation from universal moral norms and systems, in hopes that this will bring about sexual, social and ecological justice' (p. 206). This work offers an encyclopaedic overview of twenty-six accounts of the subject of conscience in twentieth century moral theology. |
