CHRTC 250 Chapter Notes - Chapter 17-20: Christian Vision, Meteorology, Individualism
Document Summary
Chapter 17: principles of morality: the ten commandments. Most basic principle of morality is deceptively simple: do good and avoid evil. Two greatest commandments: love god, and love one another: to love someone is to seek to do good to them, and certainly, at the very least to avoid doing them evil. Moral = customs, habitual ways of doing things. When we say that something is moral we generally mean that it is good . To show responsibility for the community is clearly one of the ways in which we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. In morality the fundamental value is always the human person and the person in relationship with society. Since customs, practices, habitual ways of doing things vary from culture to culture, it can be expected that there will be varying approaches to morality.
