The Disappearance of Ethics

The capstone lectures of esteemed ethicist Oliver O'Donovan    What is the future of ethics? Oliver O'Donovan addresses a discipline in crisis in  The Disappearance of Ethics . Based on the 2021 Gifford Lectures, this book contends that contemporary ethics has lost its object (good), frontier (time), and agent (person).     O'Donovan traces the development of these concepts from Greek philosophy through early Christianity, the Enlightenment, and into the modern era.
