Universal particulars and particular universals
"Human conduct," Peter Amato writes in last month's Human Nature Review, "can be considered from a variety of standpoints, some of which are more concerned with its structural, universal, and abstract dimensions, and some of which are more focused on concrete practices and particularities. But inquiry into human conduct that loses sight of the interconnection between these dimensions misrepresents either, or both."Amato is writing about the intersection of ethics and morals, but I think his words are important for the discipline of pastoral theology, too.
