ETHICAL EXPLORATION IN A MULTIFAITH SOCIETY - C...

This book considers the theory and application of ethics for a multifaith society. Much ethics
taught in the UK has been dominated by Christian ethics  their relation to secularism and by
the Enlightenment's reaction against theology as a basis for ethical thought. In contrast to
these perspectives this book brings secular and theological ethics into dialogue  considering
the degree to which secular ethics has common roots with theological perspectives from various
traditions. The book assesses the application of ethical and theological principles in today's
multifaith society. Aiming to enhance ethical understanding and awareness across divergent
worldviews  identifying at what points divergence does occur  the author examines topics such
as reason and ethics in theology  natural law  utilitarianism and deontology and differences of
approach to interpreting religious scriptures. The focus on ethical methods is illustrated
through topical concerns in religion and ethics  for example sexuality  marriage and education
and religion in relation to global ethics and human rights.
