The Impact of Religion

on Character Formation, Ethical Education, and the Communication of Values in Late Modern Pluralistic Societies

About this book

Late modern pluralistic societies are characterised by an infinitely multi-coloured individuality of their citizens and a wealth of associations and groups. This "plurality", which is difficult to grasp, is welcomed by many people as a source of freedom, but feared by some people inside and many observers outside as a social chaos. However, this plurality is countered by a limited number of so-called "social systems", which are to a large extent characterised by organisational, institutional and normative structures and weight.The overwhelming majority of the contributions in this volume deal with the Christian religion, as pluralistic societies today thrive substantially in Christian environments.Contributions by Peter Carnley, Gregor EtzelmĂŒller, Johannes Eurich, Jennifer Herdt, Admiel Kosman, PietNaudĂ©, Waihan Ng, Friederike NĂŒssel, Bernd Oberdorfer, Martin Percy, Stephen Pickard, Raja Sakrani, William Schweiker, Philipp Stoellger, Milton Wan, Renee Ip, and Michael Welker.[Der Einfluss der Religion auf Charakterbildung, ethische Erziehung und Kommunikation von Werten in spĂ€tmodernen pluralistischen Gesellschaften]SpĂ€tmoderne pluralistische Gesellschaften sind von einer unendlich vielfarbigen IndividualitĂ€t ihrer BĂŒrgerinnen und BĂŒrger und einer FĂŒlle von ZusammenschlĂŒssen und Gruppierungen geprĂ€gt. Diese schwer zu fassende "PluralitĂ€t" wird von vielen Menschen als Quellgrund der Freiheit begrĂŒĂŸt, von manchen Innenstehenden und vielen Außenstehenden aber auch als soziales Chaos gefĂŒrchtet. Doch dieser PluralitĂ€t steht eine begrenzte Zahl von sogenannten "sozialen Systemen" gegenĂŒber, die in hohem Maße organisatorisch, institutionell und normativ geprĂ€gt sind.Die ĂŒberwĂ€ltigende Mehrzahl der BeitrĂ€ge diese Bandes behandeln die christliche Religion, da pluralistische Gesellschaften heute wesentlich in christlichen Umgebungen gedeihen.This book on the influence of religion on the ethos of pluralistic societies is part of a series of ten international research projects with contributions from all continents. The influences of the market, law, science, politics, media, family, education, medicine and defense will also be examined.
