World events have made clear that liberal society must become more
resilient in the face of totalitarian challenges. But how is
liberal society to do that? In this groundbreaking work, social
ethicist Elmar Nass presents the ethical and anthropological
foundations of a liberal social order within a Christian conception
of humanity and society in an ecumenical spirit. In doing so, Nass
revives the long-neglected discussion on the ethics of order.
Christian foundations and claims are currently confronted with
alternative social-ethical concepts from other religions,
traditions, and social philosophies. Nass argues that Christian
social ethics has a critical role to play as it engages the world.
Nass vividly discusses fundamental and concrete social challenges
for human dignity, freedom and justice (such as peace, integrity of
creation, euthanasia, family, social justice, digitalization,
behavioral economics, and many more) in the light of the threefold
Christian responsibility (before God, before oneself, before one
another). He articulates ethical orientations derived with clarity
from a Christian foundation of values. The Christian social ethics
system presented by Nass is a transparent value template that can
be applied to ever new challenges in the present and in the future.
With this understanding of social responsibility, questions of
racism, migration, gender and sexuality, the environment, and
public health and pandemics, among many others, can thus be
addressed and answered. Nass offers a full-throated and robust
Christian position for the value discussions of our time.
