Book Review: Who Am I to Judge?: Responding to Relativism with Logic and Love

“Don’t be so judgmental!” is a phrase one might hear when talking to someone about morality, right and wrong, or good and evil. Dr. Edward Sri writes Who Am I to Judge? to address the problem of moral relativism and how we can respond to it with logic and love.

In a relativistic society, each person can have his or her own truth. Relativism denies that there is an objective truth, but there are many problems with this view. For example, relativism can become very self-centered, leading to a modern notion of freedom as doing whatever a person wants, even if it hurts relationships. In contrast, true freedom is the freedom to love. Through ethics and the moral law, man can fulfill his telos, his end goal, which is friendship with God and neighbor.

Making Sense Out of Suffering is a book by Peter Kreeft, a Catholic philosopher at Boston College. He writes very well, and this book is no exception. Part of what makes his writing style so effective is that it is very accessible. He is clearly a philosopher and knows the subject deeply, but there is a distinction between knowing philosophy and being able to communicate it. That is what Peter Kreeft does so well: he makes philosophy accessible to a general audience.
