The Moral Gap: Kantian Ethics, Human Limits, and God's Assistance (Oxford Studies in Theological Ethics)

The Moral Gap: Kantian Ethics, Human Limits, and God's Assistance (Oxford Studies in Theological Ethics) by Hare, John E.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780198269571.

Is morality too difficult for human beings? Kant said that it was, except with Gods assistance. Contemporary moral philosophers have usually discussed the question without reference to Christian doctrine, and have either diminished the moral demand, exaggerated human moral capacity, or tried to find a substitute in nature for Gods assistance. This book looks at these philosophers--from Kant and Kierkegaard to Swinburne, Russell, and R.M. Hare--and the alternative in Christianity.
