The Possibility Of A Science Of Casuistry is a book written by Ernest Northcroft Merrington and first published in 1902. The book explores the concept of casuistry, which is the study of ethical and moral dilemmas in specific cases. Merrington argues that casuistry can be a legitimate scientific discipline, and that it has important practical applications in areas such as law, medicine, and business.The book begins by providing a historical overview of casuistry, tracing its roots back to ancient Greece and Rome. It then examines the various approaches to casuistry that have been developed over the centuries, including the Jesuit tradition and the more recent secular approaches.Merrington also discusses the criticisms that have been leveled against casuistry, particularly by those who view it as a form of moral relativism. He argues that these criticisms are largely unfounded, and that casuistry can provide a useful framework for making ethical decisions in complex situations.Throughout the book, Merrington provides numerous examples of casuistic reasoning in action, drawing on real-world cases from a variety of fields. He also discusses the challenges of applying casuistic reasoning in practice, and offers suggestions for how to overcome these challenges.Overall, The Possibility Of A Science Of Casuistry is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of an often-overlooked area of ethics and moral philosophy. It will be of interest to anyone interested in the practical application of ethical principles in real-world situations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
