The Moral Philosophy of Bonhoeffer CFP

Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s writings contain many moral ideas, especially in Discipleship and Life Together. His Ethics, which he never finished, is also a rich trove of moral philosophy, but because of its unfinished nature, scholars debate how we should best understand it. Much of Bonhoeffer scholarship is conducted in the realm of theology and religious studies, but this volume seeks to add a much-needed philosophical perspective.

Gregory L. Bock and Michael W. Austin, both philosophers, both ethicists, are soliciting chapter proposals on topics of Bonhoeffer’s moral philosophy that address questions of interpretation and application. Suggested topics include: Bonhoeffer and virtue ethics, divine command theory, racial justice, political activism, moral discernment, immigration policy, environmental ethics, conflict resolution, etc.

Proposals should be between 200 and 300 words and attached to an email as a Word document prepared for blind review. A separate CV should also be attached. Please send to gbock@uttyler.edu by January 31, 2025.
