A propos de cet article

Anmerkungen / beschriftet / Stempel; Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. This volume brings together comparative religious ethics and interreligious dialogue for the first time, fostering constructive collaboration. It is based on two key insights: interreligious dialogue provides comparative religious ethics with a compelling rationale and practical orientation, while comparative religious ethics equips interreligious dialogue with critical tools and methods to enhance its effectiveness. This synergy allows for a mutual exchange where theory and praxis benefit each other. Contributors to the volume embrace this collaborative vision, transcending disciplinary boundaries to address significant methodological and global moral issues. To maintain clarity, the volume is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on method, theory, and the public intellectual's social role, while the second part addresses substantive moral themes and issues, many of which emerged from the 1993 Parliament. Collectively, the essays present innovative approaches to contemporary moral concerns in a cross-cultural context, maintaining rigor suitable for our complex and pluralistic world.

Synopsis

This volume for the first time brings the scholarly discipline of comparative religious ethics into constructive collaboration with the community of interreligious dialogue. Its design is premised on two important insights. First, interreligious dialogue offers to comparative religious ethics a new, more persuasive rationale, agenda of issues, and practical orientation. Second, comparative religious ethics offers to interreligious dialogue an arsenal of critical tools and methods which will enhance the sophistication of its practical work. In this way, both theory (a dominant concern and strength of comparative religious ethics) and praxis (a dominant concern and strength of interreligious moral dialogue) are joined together in mutual effort, each contributing to the benefit of the other.The volume's contributors share this vision of collaboration, drawing explicitly from both communities of discourse in a manner that crosses disciplinary and professional boundaries to deal creatively and constructively with important methodological and global moral issue. Although theory and practice cannot easily be separated in such a collaborative project, for the purpose of clarity, the volume is divided into two main parts. The first specifically engages questions of method, theory, and the social role of the public intellectual; the second, on substantive moral themes and issues, many of which were raised at the 1993 Parliament. Taken together, the volume's essays articulate and illustrate new ways of approaching contemporary moral concerns cross-culturally yet with a rigor appropriate to our complex and pluralistic world.
