Covenant morality presumes humanism as the right kind of morality, It argues that we all share responsibility for each other to some extent, making for our covenantt with each other. With Dr. Paul Kurtz, I urge all to have a planetary ethic, concerned for the whole of humanity and the world environment.This morality opposes ethical egoism as a simplistic view of our relations towards each other. It values altruism as in our self-interests, never making us slaves of each other, but instead fellow beings.
It is eclectic , whilst a utilitarian/consequentialist theory. It entails deontology in finding rules emanating from consequences, and from consequences also virtues. Whilst an objective morality,paradoxically it entails wide -reflective subjectivism.
It is universal and egalitarian .
I implore you viewers to add to it! Let's together explore how morality leads to that more abundant life!
It opposes divine command theories,particularly the ethics of the revealed religions.http://morganlynngriggs.wordpress.com
