Ratified by the Parliament of the World's Religions in 1993 and
expanded in 2018, "Towards a Global Ethic (An Initial
Declaration)," or the Global Ethic, expresses the minimal set of
principles shared by people-religious or not. Though it is a
secular document, the Global Ethic emerged after months of
collaborative, interreligious dialogue dedicated to identifying a
common ethical framework. This volume tests and contests the claim
that the Global Ethic's ethical directives can be found in the
world's religious, spiritual, and cultural traditions. The book
features essays by scholars of religion who grapple with the
practical implications of the Global Ethic's directives when
applied to issues like women's rights, displaced peoples, income
and wealth inequality, India's caste system, and more. The scholars
explore their respective religious traditions' ethical response to
one or more of these issues and compares them to the ethical
response elaborated by the Global Ethic. The traditions included
are Hinduism, Engaged Buddhism, Shi'i Islam, Sunni Islam,
Confucianism, Protestantism, Catholicism, Judaism, Indigenous
African Religions, and Human Rights. To highlight the complexities
within traditions, most essays are followed by a brief response by
an expert in the same tradition. Multi-Religious Perspectives on a
Global Ethic is of special interest to advanced students and
scholars whose work focuses on the religious traditions listed
above, on comparative religion, religious ethics, comparative
ethics, and common morality.
