A rigorous and objective ethical analysis of nuclear deterrence, this book provides a wide-ranging discussion of such important peace issues as possible holocaust, the Soviet menace, and strategic imperatives. The authors also unmask types of deterrence that they perceive as essentially moral evasions. Raising to a new level the moral, political, theological, and strategic debates surrounding deterrence, the volume ultimately concludes that it is an unjustifiable policy.

Beyond the new morality;: The responsibilities of freedom

"The authors are critical of recent directions in ethics that have departed from the natural law tradition and its emphasis on absolute moral values. Their restatement of the chief positions of traditional ethics is well reasoned and clearly presented." —Religious Resources 
"Beyond the New Morality will impress many. . . . [It's] serious reading for the scholarly who want to keep up with the latest." —The Priest 
In this third edition of the now standard classroom text, Grisez and Shaw retain the best elements of the earlier versions, including their clear, straightforward presentation and use of nontechnical language. Although the basic approach, content, and organization remain substantially the same, the new edition does develop and amend some aspects of the theory.

Although the basic approach, content, and organization remain substantially the same, the new edition does develop and amend some aspects of the theory. For example, the community dimension of morality is brought out more clearly and the first principle of morality is now formulated more accurately in terms of willing in line with integral human fulfillment.

The User's Guide and Preface includes a key to the references within the text and in the footnotes along with other information likely to be helpful to serious readers. In this volume, the central topics are treated by formulating questions and answering them straightforwardly. Within the reply to each question, the main line of the response is in the numbered paragraphs, while secondary points are in unnumbered paragraphs and appear in slightly smaller type. Within the numbered paragraphs, the statements central to the response are in bold type. Most chapters also include appendices, in which interesting but nonessential matters are treated.
