Is the Iraq War a "teleological suspension of the ethical"?
I agree.
Anubis10012007 Reviewed by Anubis10012007 on . Is the Iraq War a "teleological suspension of the ethical"? Before you say, "WTF?", I shall explain what the hell this is the best I can. Anyone familiar with the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard? He writes in "Fear and Trembling", that Abraham's attempt to sacrifice his son Isaac was a "teleological suspension of the ethical". Telos, is Greek for end. In a nut shell, he is asking was it ethical to sacrifice his son, despite the ethics of killing and God's law against it? If God has declared that murder is unethical, why did God order Abraham Rating: 5
