Description
The Strange Death of Moral Britain by Christie Davies, New Brunswick, N.J.: Transaction Publishers, 2004. xxiii + 264 pp. ALTHOUGH FOCUSED ON BRITAIN, Christie Davies's well-documented social-historical study addresses several of the major problems and perplexities of the Western world in our times, preeminently the impact of secularization on moral standards and social order. More specifically this is an inquiry into the spectacular decline of religious beliefs and institutions in Great Britain, their capacity to regulate personal behavior, and the simultaneous rise of moral relativism and social determinism responsible for the spread of social pathologies. At least by implication, the book raises two other questions: Can a system of secular moral values effectively support social order? And secondly, can there be social order and cohesion without strong, shared moral beliefs?
