THE IRONIC IMAGINATION

A Source for Christian moral life, Contribution of William F. Lynch, S.J.

Abstract

Our present generation is in a constant conflicting situation of values,
and thus the society is divided into groups. The very notion of
diversity of values makes it difficult for moral discussion. This is not
mere a political and economical problem but also moral and spiritual
one. The response and reasoning of the morally conscious person
depends on his/her moral outlook, who wants to be related to the
world around and the values one holds. For the best moral response
the believer’s “world view” should be in line with that of Jesus Christ
and His teachings found in the Gospels and in the Tradition of the
Church.
