THIS WEEK: In the form of Divine Command theory, religious and Christian ethics are often thought to be implausible. But today there is no definitively accepted theory of ethics or ethical values. Yet Ludwig Feuerbach and others argue that God is the believer’s highest conceivable value, that offers a mythological representation of these inexplicit values. Moreover, the insurmountable ‘is-ought’ impediment may be resolved by following the command of a respected omniscient and benevolent God. Can then, religious mythology also provide insights into ethics and human values that rigorous conceptual thought cannot? Or does the fact that God does not exist undermine the significance of any such insight? Reading: The Pursuit of Value, Ch. 3, Scn. i.
