Beyond Universal Reason

Exploring the interplay between theology and ethics, the book critiques traditional philosophical approaches, particularly the Kantian moral tradition. Stanley Hauerwas argues that framing the relationship between ethics and religion is misguided, advocating for a perspective rooted in social and historical contexts. Emmanuel Katongole defends this stance, highlighting how conventional moral philosophy often presents an overly formal and ahistorical view that fails to reflect the complexities of moral agency in human experience.
