The Meaning of Loyalty, Part 6: Deutero-Isaiah II, 1951 June 10

Description

Thurman finishes his lectures on loyalty using Deutero-Isaiah to explore the relationship between privilege and responsibility. The privilege of being exposed to God instills one with a sense of ultimate responsibility. Equality of moral character is founded on equal responsibility to God. To finish, Thurman ponders the role of America which enjoys great privileges. Thurman asserts that we must relate our privileges to our responsibilities, for we are under the judgement of God and history "to make our days for mankind." Our loyalty is measured in self-conscious commitment to the well-being of all life.
