This book provides a multidisciplinary and comparative look at the
contemporary phenomenon of conscientious objection or contestation
in the name of religion and examines the key issues that emerge in
terms of citizenship and democracy. These are analysed by looking
at the different ways of challenging or contesting a legal
obligation on the grounds of religious beliefs and convictions. The
authors focus on the meaning of conscientious objection which
asserts the legitimacy of convictions - in particular religious
convictions - in determining the personal or collective relevance
of the law and of public action. The book begins by examining the
main theoretical issues underlying conscientious objection,
exploring the implications of the protection of freedom of
conscience, the place of religion in the secular public sphere and
the recognition and respect of ethical pluralism in society. It
then focuses on the question of exemptions and contestations of
civil norms, using a multidisciplinary approach to highlight the
multiple and diverse issues surrounding them, as well as the
motives behind them. This book will be of great interest to
scholars, specialists and graduate and advanced undergraduate
students who are interested in issues of religious diversity.
Researchers and policymakers in think-tanks, NGOs and government
units will find the volume useful in identifying key issues in
understanding the phenomenon of conscientious objection and its
implications in managing ethical diversity in contemporary
societies.
