He then discusses the role of casuistry in modern society, and explores its potential benefits and drawbacks.Throughout the book, Merrington provides numerous examples of ethical dilemmas and how they might be approached using casuistry. He also discusses the various methods that can be used to analyze ethical problems, including the use of case studies, hypothetical scenarios, and moral reasoning.Overall, The Possibility Of A Science Of Casuistry is a thought-provoking exploration of an often-overlooked field of study.
