| Abstract
|
:
|
Are we indeed ethically destitute, as suggests Thomas Berry? We are in an era of a barrage of ethical discourses, and yet Berry claims that are unable to respond to the radically new problematique facing any human communities. This article explores the idea of the macro and micro dimensions of ethics, noting the conventional reference points as well as the change of reference points Berry suggests. The discussion dwells on these two dimensions, and the interplay between them. The article also suggests that the religious/spiritual experiences of awakening, and presently to the cosmos, could also be considered as a source for ethics.
