The consideration of normative ethics and methodology is a relatively recentphenomena in Catholic moral theology. Similar to any nascent discussion havingadopted terms and concepts from one conceptual genre Britischanalyticphilosophy into a radically other genre Catholic moral theology one thenneeds to begin the work of clarifying how and to what extent those terms andconcepts contribute to the overall project of moral theology as a science. AsPope John Paul IIs encyclical Veritatis Splendor attests this incorporationhas met with a great deal of resistance based on misunderstandings of thenature and purpose of normative ethics and methodology. Deontology andTeleology is a pioneer account which exposes and clarifies many of theterminological and conceptual ambiguities inherent to this discussion. Itbegins with an investigation of C.D. Broads metaethical division of theoriesinto deontology and teleology and the epistemologicalontological foundationson which he established this division. An analysis of how and why Broadstheory has been incorporated into Catholic discussions on the foundation andformulation of norms along with the inherent difficulties of such anincorporation is then taken up. Finally this study argues and substantiatesthrough detailed historical analysis that a fundamental difference betweentraditionalists and revisionists in their relative perspectives on norms restin the traditional understanding and moral evaluation of the human actspecifically the objectum circumstantiae and finis fontes moralitates. Thisis an indispensable resource work for those interested in fundamental moraltheology and lays the foundation for pursuingfurther the complex question ofnormative ethics in Catholic moral theology Peeters 1995 «
