2006 Massey Lecture: Going the Ethical Way
By | Aug 26, 2007
On 4 to 8 on National Radio today was a fantastic lecture from 2006 given by Margaret Sommerville based on her book The Ethical Imagination. Part One of a five part series was on today, and you are very lucky that it is freely available through the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Sommerville argues for a reconciliation of science, faith and morality as recognised forms of imagination, that is, as movements generated out of our intellectual and spiritual capacity to create and think. She argues for reconciling them today as contributors to our ethical imagination.
This was like streaming light into my Sunday. I am going out to find the book. At least take the time to listen to the lecture. The rest of the series continues next Sunday 2 September. Not to be missed.

It sounds terrific – inspiring the moral and ethical imagination is crucial. One of the most significant areas of public theology, imho. Something fairly lacking in these islands. Perhaps you would keep us posted on the book?
