"Situation Ethics: The New Morality" (book)

"Situation Ethics: The New Morality" is a book by Joseph Fletcher, published in 1966, advocating for moral decision-making based on love and compassion rather than strict rules. It suggests that ethical choices should consider each unique situation, prioritizing what promotes genuine good and kindness. Fletcher argues that no absolute moral laws should override love's importance, allowing flexibility to act morally in complex situations. The approach challenges traditional, rule-based ethics, emphasizing context and personal judgment to determine the most loving and humane course of action.
