EvaluationWhile Situation Ethics certainly offers a new perspective on morality and takes care to highlight the fact that every circumstance is different, one which is perhaps overlooked by more legalistic theories, proportionalism makes much less radical attempts to depart from complete legalism and can, in my opinion, hold on to the claim to be a Christian Ethic a lot more tightly. Furthermore, its adaptability to modern society seems to indicate that it lacks the necessary principality to be a strong ethical theory, as if its aim is to serve the change in societal values rather than to uphold those values which it posits to be good, it can hardly be used to keep a society organised and, thus, can be considered as less valuable. |
