- Situation Ethics
- Agape
- Unconditional love
- Six propositions
- 1. Love is the only thing that is intrinsically good
- 2. Love is the only ruling norm in ethical decision making and replaces all laws
- 3. Love and justice are the same thing- justice is love that is distributed
- 4. Love wills the neighbours good regardless of whether the neighbour is liked or not
- 5. Love is the the goal or end act and that justifies any means to achieve that goal
- 6. Love decides on each situation as it arises without a set of laws to guides
- The four working principles
- 1. Pragmatism- it is based on experience rather than on theory
- 2. Relativism- it is based on making the absolute laws of Christian ethics relative
- 3. Positivism- it begins with belief in the reality and importance of love
- 4. Personalism- persons, not laws or anything else, are at the centre of situation ethics
- Conscience
- Is a verb not a noun. A term that describes attempts to make decisions creatively
- Agape
