Right and Reason is probably the greatest and most
successful Ethics book written to date. Widely used in Catholic colleges, it is
undoubtedly the clearest and easiest-to-read Ethics text ever published. The
author says that no book can take the place of a professor in the classroom,
but this one virtually doesÑand Fr. Fagothey says he wrote it that way.
Though issued in 1959, it remains remarkably contemporary and can be read
basically by any adult--either in toto or as a handy reference to look up
topics in question. Phrased in non-technical language, Right and Reason is a
thoroughly competent book in the philosophy of Ethics, which gives the science
of morality from the Aristotelian-Thomistic, common-sense school of
thought--which is none other than the Perennial Philosophy of the Ages, the
philosophy outside of which one's positions quickly become absurd and all
reasoning ends up in dead-ends. He covers the whole field of Ethics, posing and
answering the perennial questions; for example: What makes the right right and
the wrong wrong? What is moral obligation and where does it come from? Why is
divorce always wrong? Why is abortion always wrong? When is it moral to kill
another person? Do animals have rights? What is the origin of the State? Who
has the right to educate? Is capital punishment ethical? Is there a right to
work? What is a just wage? What is a just war? What is the principle of double
effect? Are suicide and euthanasia against the Natural Law? Is there a Natural
Law? Etc., etc. The classic principles of Ethics are as valid today as ever,
and anyone who attempts to grapple with today's new moral questions--in medical
ethics, family issues, international relations, etc.--without a solid grounding
in these classic principles is guaranteed to flounder around in the swamp of
guesswork, emotional thinking and mere personal opinion. Every educated
Catholic and every educated person--if he is to think correctly on moral
issues--must be familiar with the great ethical questions and their classic
solutions, solutions such as presented in Fr. Fagothey's clear and masterful
work, Right and Reason, which for today's confused world is a beacon of common
sense written with an authoritative competence that no one can effectively
argue against. |
