In crisis situations, such as terror attacks or societal tensions
caused by migration, people tend to look for explicit moral and
spiritual leadership and are often inclined to vote for so-called
'strong leaders'. Is there a way to resist the temptation of the
simplistic solutions that these 'strong leader' offer, and instead
encourage constructive engagement with the complex demands of our
times? This volume utilises relational and dialogical perspectives
to examine and address many of the issues surrounding the moral and
spiritual guidance articulated in globalizing Western societies.
The essays in this collection focus on the concept of plural
moralities, understood as divergent visions on what is a 'good
life', both in an ethical, aesthetical, existential, and spiritual
sense. They explore the political-cultural context and consequences
of plural moralities as well as discussing challenges,
possibilities, risks, and dangers from the perspective of two
promising relational theories: social constructionism and
dialogical self theory. The overarching argument is that it is
possible to constructively put in nuanced moral and spiritual
guidance into complex, plural societies. By choosing a clear
theoretical focus on relational approaches to societal challenges,
this interdisciplinary book provides both a broad scope and a
coherent argument. It will be of great interest to scholars of
social and political psychology, leadership and organization,
religious studies, and pedagogy.
