Die samehang en spanningsveld tussen die etiese en die juridiese in onderwyskonteks
Abstract
In response to social atrocities being perpetrated in societies around the world, authors have been propounding the thesis that ethics and morality have to step in when jurisprudence seems to have failed. They also contend that people have a choice between a morally acceptable existence or a juridical one. Such views are incompatible with a Biblical cosmology in terms of which the ethical and the juridical are seen as respective modalities of reality or modes of existence, both under the guidance of the pistical. As such, they do not compete with each other, and people are not called upon to choose whether to conduct their lives and affairs according to the one or the other. A thought experiment is performed in terms of which not only the coherence and the field of tension between the ethical-moral and the juridical modes of existence are examined and critiqued but also the coherence of both these modalities with schooling. The experiment (examination of a scenario) demonstrates a three-way relationship in this particular situation between the ethical-moral, the juridical and the logical-analytical modes of existence.
