About the book
"This second edition of Contemporary Ethical Issues explores a series of compelling moral problems from a personalistic perspective influenced by the Scottish philosopher John Macmurray (1891-1976). In his many books, articles, and other pamphlets spanning fifty years, most notably his Gifford Lectures titled "The Form of the Personal," Macmurray developed a robust personalism that emphasizes the primacy of persons as rational agents whose self-realization is achieved in a loving community where justice and individual rights are respected. Walter G. Jeffko utilizes key elements of Macmurray's thought in developing his own philosophical viewpoint; and he relates Macmurray's ideas to those of a wide variety of important philosophers, ethicists, and other notable thinkers, including ecologists."--Jacket.
First sentence: The fundamental proposition of a personalistic anthropology is contained in John Macmurray's stark statement: "We are not organisms, but persons."
