Shaping the Moral Life: An Approach to Moral Theology (Moral Traditions)

Shaping the Moral Life: An Approach to Moral Theology (Moral Traditions) by Demmer, Klaus. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780878407910.

Although he is one of the most influential Catholic theologians in Europe, very few of Klaus Demmers writings are available in English. This translation of his well-known work on moral theology introduces Demmers thought to English-speaking audiences. In an original synthesis of scholastic and continental philosophy, Demmer brings the Catholic moral tradition into conversation with contemporary philosophical schools―transcendental, hermeneutical, and analytical―to fashion a moral theology in the spirit of the Second Vatican Council. He shows the richness of the neoscholastic tradition in shaping and being shaped by our contemporary self-understanding. A complete bibliography of Demmers works will assist readers in seeking out more of his writings.
