reviewed Birth, Suffering and Death on June 07, 2015 Birth, Suffering and Death
I wanted to learn more about moral absolutes and see if there is any way I could learn about it independent from the religious context (although found out quickly that Finnis himself ties it to Catholicism quite a bit). I also wanted to challenge myself with a topic with which I disagree. Excited to learn, I picked up this book soon to find that it's written in the most tangled academic language hard to make sense of (especially the first chapter). I struggled through that, but it got better in the following chapters and I could follow the author a little better. There were a lot of parts where I could not situate the author's arguments under certain perspectives. I disagreed with the author a lot. A highly intellectual read, deeply philosophical and grounded in religion, I can now say that I learned a little more about moral absolutes and that I disagree with any absolutism even more now :)
