Professor of Philosophy Releases Book on Ethics SHU Professor of Philosophy Dr. Tad Dunne recently released his new book, Doing Better: The Next Revolution in Ethics. Doing Better is a unique book which, drawing on the generalized empirical method of Bernard Lonergan, attempts to provide a fresh approach to ethics. Dunne asks his readers to engage in a number of exercises aimed at allowing them to discover for themselves what the character of moral judgment really is and the ways in which their own consciousness of moral judgment can be used as the foundation for moral theories and categories. Using this method one learns how to evaluate and critique moral theories of the past, present and future, as well as how to engage in fruitful dialog and collaboration on matters of ethics and morality. Dr. Dunne teaches in SHU’s Distance Learning program as well as at its Metro Detroit program. 6 Reflections Summer ’10 Hairpin curves on the narrow road winding up mountains to S и
