If ethics is to guide us along the way, it must recover its subordination; description must precede prescription. If ethics is to invite us along the way, it cannot lead, either as politburo, or even as public orthodoxy. It cannot be smugly symbolic but must be by way of signage, of directionality, of the open realization that ethical meaning is en route, pointing the way because it is within the way, as only sign, not symbol, can point to the sacramental terminus. The courtesies of dogma and tradition are the road signs and guideposts along the longior via, not themselves the termini. We seek the dialogic heart of the natural law through two seemingly contradictory voices and approaches: St. Thomas Aquinas and his famous five ways, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky's holy idiot, Prince Myshkin. It is precisely the apparent miscellany of these selected voices that provide us with a connatural invitation into the natural law as subordinated, as descriptive guide, not as prescriptive leader. -- back cover. 600 10 $a Dostoyevsky, Fyodor, $d 1821-1881. $t Idiot $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 00 $a Thomas, $c Aquinas, Saint, $d 1225?-1274. $t Dumb ox $x Criticism and interpretation. 630 07 $a Idiot (Dostoyevsky, Fyodor) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01359314 650 0 $a Ethics. 650 0 $a Natural law. 650 0 $a Natural law $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Law and ethics. 650 7 $a Natural law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034366 650 7 $a Law and ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993904 650 7 $a Ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915833 650 7 $a Natural law $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034370 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Lee, Eric Austin, $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014728.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A2343B5ACF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
