More Than Things: A Personalist Ethics for a Throwaway Culture

ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award We live in a culture of commodification. People are too often defined by what they do or own; they're treated as means to an end or cogs in a machine. What goes missing is a deep sense of personhood—the belief that all humans are unique subjects with inherent worth and the right to self-determination in authentic communion with others. In a world dominated by things, Paul Louis Metzger argues, we must work hard to account for one another's personhood. We need to cultivate relational structures that honor every human's dignity in vital interpersonal community. The theological and philosophical framework known as personalism can help guide us toward such a culture. Drawing from a wide range of thought leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr. and Pope John Paul II, Metzger presents a personalist moral vision founded on the Christian ideals of faith, hope, and love. He demonstrates how this moral compass can help us navigate a pluralistic world by applying it to a variety of pressing ethical issues, including abortion, genetic engineering, immigration, drone warfare, and more. More Than Things is perfect as a supplemental text for philosophy or ethics courses and for those who want to go deeper in the study of human dignity and worth. Ultimately human personhood begins with the personal, triune God, who invites us to live more fully as human beings. With this book, learn to refuse to reduce fellow humans—and yourself—to mere abstractions or objects, and follow the example of Jesus in honoring the value of every person and of creaturely life as a whole.
