Abstract

Th is article is an attempt towards understanding the fundamentals of Christian ethics through juxtaposing it with some other major ethical discourses: utilitarianism, deontology, ethics of virtue and ostmodern ethics. Th e fi rst part of the article endeavours to fi nd some similarities and disimiliarities between Christianity and forementioned discourses, while the second part of the article exposes Milbank’s radical critique of ethics qua ethics. In conclusion author advocates that Christian ethics possesses its own foundational discourse, which should be developed in a dialogue with other ethical discourses.
