It is also an occasion, amid our fierce cultural crisis
over the
evils and
benefits of humanism, to make a theological assessment of Cheever's unapologetically humanist vision.
These are some of the principles on which the schools of thought based their decisions: all things are fundamentally allowable, unless specifically prohibited; toleration and the lifting of restrictions should be the aim of legislation; eradication of mischief is the aim of administration; necessity permits
benefiting by things not otherwise allowable; necessity is given due appreciation; preventing mischief has priority
over bringing about welfare; commit the lesser of two
evils; mischief is not removed by mischief; one should suffer private damage to avert general disaster.
