From the Publisher:

In this exciting, scholarly, and thought-provoking work, Amato traces the history of the ethical principles of the traditional, the Christian, and the progressive way....As Amato sees it, the new conscience must include the virtues of humility and tolerance--tolerance because we live amid a multiplicity of claims upon us. The claims of guilt and gratitude can be free to struggle within us only if we are honest and have a sense of dignity. A must book for college libraries. Excellent bibliography.
