Tragedy, Tradition, Transformism

D. Stephen Long offers a critical analysis of Paul Ramsey's ethical thought, exploring its evolution from early liberal idealism to influences like just war doctrine and the ideas of notable thinkers such as Reinhold Niebuhr and Karl Barth. By navigating the challenges of Ramsey's complex theology and writings, Long provides valuable insights into contemporary philosophical, theological, and moral issues. This work is particularly significant for scholars of religious ethics and intellectual thought, highlighting Ramsey's impact on modern discourse.
