Abstract
As global ethics emerges as an important answer to the common issues facing humankind, we cannot spare a reflection on the process leading to a consensus on global values. If we are to break political, economic, ideological, cultural, religious and gender-based patterns of domination in the debate on global ethics, we must ensure that all parties to the dialogue are able to express their values freely and in their own fashion. This book provides indications on the current reflection on the hermeneutics of intercultural and interreligious dialogue on ethics, with an attempt to formulate in a decentralised manner priorities for the future implementation of this dialogue. These include using our own religious resources to foster dialogue on ethics, searching in the transcendental or the holistic for a solution to moral diversity, dealing with the deep suffering caused by colonisation and neo-imperialism, and addressing the mutual challenges of traditionalism and modernism. Also presented are the "Globethics.net Principles on Sharing Values across Cultures and Religions".
Note(s)
The third international conference of Globethics.net, held 25-29 January 2009 in Nairobi, Kenya, entitled "Care and Compassion: Methodologies in Sharing Values across Cultures and Religions", gathered about sixty ethicists, religious scholars and economists from eighteen countries on five continents to determine a methodology for sharing values across cultures and religions.
