Truthfulness and tragedy,
By Kim, Seong-keun (mississauga, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Truthfulness And Tragedy (Paperback)
I like this book because I can find Stanley Hauerwas' early arguments against rational foundationalism. Even though it is an essay-collection, this book is sufficient to show what his points are. Many materials are related with medical ethics. He succeeds in showing what we miss on issues of medicine as such, care for the handicapped, population control, and ethics of death (suicide and euthanasia). One of difficulty I felt is whether his argument on the standard account of rationality is effective. Rejecting that account of rationality, he tries to show alternative account based on narrative. I agree to narrative account of reason, but I am not sure why he has to reject the standard account. That account explains our ordinary actuality just as narrative account shows ultimate reality. So I expect him to argue more synthetic approach, but this is not the case in this book, at least. Personally, I like the terms,'truthfulness' and 'tragedy', for I think they show what Christianity is all about relevantly.
