Pluralistic Casuistry: Moral Arguments, Economic Realities, and
Political Theory
The collection of essays edited by Mark J. Cherry and Ana S. Iltis is
dedicated to the work and life of Baruch A. Brody. Brody has
contributed a great part of his work to questions about biomedical
ethics; consequently, the focus of this Festschrift is on bioethical
issues, too. What Brody is famous for is the attempt to establish an
account of ethics that does justice to the fact that classical ethics
does not provide answers if applied to concrete cases, also because
the system of values in modern societies is pluralistic. "Pluralistic
moral casuistry" has become the name of his account that stands in a
particular relationship to his religious convictions. Link:
