Dishonest to God by Baroness Mary Warnock
Reflects on the nature of religion and how it relates or ought to relate to the rest of life. This title argues that to value religion as the essential foundation of morality is a profound and probably dangerous mistake. It intends to clarify the foundation of morality in a society largely indifferent to and ignorant of religion.
"'It is the patient accumulation of cases, histories and arguments in this book that is eventually more impressive than any mere polemicWe are shown the sovereignty of careful, compassionate, rich moral thought over law, over politics, and even, as Plato saw, over religion. In the end it is indeed dishonest - even dishonest to God - to think otherwise.' (Times Higher Education)"
Mary Warnock is by professional training a philosopher. She has also been a prominent figure in education, first as a fellow and tutor in Philosophy at St Hugh's College, Oxford. She is the author of a number of books, most notably An Intelligent Person's Guide to Ethics.
