This volume for the first time brings the scholarly discipline of
comparative religious ethics into constructive collaboration with
the community of interreligious dialogue. Its design is premised on
two important insights. First, interreligious dialogue offers to
comparative religious ethics a new, more persuasive rationale,
agenda of issues, and practical orientation. Second, comparative
religious ethics offers to interreligious dialogue an arsenal of
critical tools and methods which will enhance the sophistication of
its practical work. In this way, both theory (a dominant concern
and strength of comparative religious ethics) and praxis (a
dominant concern and strength of interreligious moral dialogue) are
joined together in mutual effort, each contributing to the benefit
of the other.The volume's contributors share this vision of
collaboration, drawing explicitly from both communities of
discourse in a manner that crosses disciplinary and professional
boundaries to deal creatively and constructively with important
methodological and global moral issue. Although theory and practice
cannot easily be separated in such a collaborative project, for the
purpose of clarity, the volume is divided into two main parts. The
first specifically engages questions of method, theory, and the
social role of the public intellectual; the second, on substantive
moral themes and issues, many of which were raised at the 1993
Parliament. Taken together, the volume's essays articulate and
illustrate new ways of approaching contemporary moral concerns
cross-culturally yet with a rigor appropriate to our complex and
pluralistic world.
