Description

Within the Christian tradition, explanations of the metaphysical foundations of morality have typically fallen into one of two camps: natural law theory, according to which morality is most fundamentally explained by facts about human nature—facts that God is responsible for—and divine command theory, which holds that moral obligations arise directly from God’s commands. Clanton will argue that neither camp gets this entirely right and, hence, we need to consider a third proposal. Happily, the Stone-Campbell tradition offers serious intellectual resources for solving one the great dilemmas of moral philosophy and theology dating back to Plato’s Euthyphro.
