This document outlines the fundamental principles that unite people, regardless of their religious beliefs. While it is a secular text, the Global Ethic emerged through months of collaborative, interreligious dialogue aimed at establishing a shared ethical framework. This volume challenges the assertion that the ethical directives of the Global Ethic can be found in the world's religious, spiritual, and cultural traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book includes essays by scholars of religion who delve into the practical implications of the Global Ethics directives when applied to various issues such as women's rights, displaced populations, income and wealth inequality, India's caste system, and more. The scholars examine the ethical responses within their respective religious traditions to these issues and compare them to the ethical framework outlined by the Global Ethic. The traditions explored in the essays include Hinduism, Engaged Buddhism, Shi'i Islam, Sunni Islam, Confucianism, Protestantism, Catholicism, Judaism, Indigenous African Religions, and Human Rights. To provide a deeper understanding of the complexities within these traditions, most essays are followed by brief responses from experts within the same tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMulti-Religious Perspectives on a Global Ethic is particularly valuable for advanced students and scholars specializing in the religious traditions listed above, as well as comparative religion, religious ethics, comparative ethics, and common morality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367640026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104740733178,"sku":"9780367640026","price":43.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_608d5ad7-123a-403a-af5c-65d6441bb628.jpg?v=1654416980","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/multireligious-perspectives-on-a-global-ethic-in-search-of-a-common-morality-9780367640026","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
