Multireligious Reflections on Friendship: Becoming Ourselves in
Community presents a multi-religious discussion of spiritual and
ethical formation through friendship. Contributors discuss the
positive effects of friendship and some of the culturally diverse
ways that friendships develop. Friends help us co-exist in diverse
societies, live sustainably in our ecosystems, heal from trauma,
develop inner virtues, engage wisely in social action, and connect
with the divine. While friendship is a core human value, cultural
traditions have used different tools to build friendships. For
example, Indigenous communities emphasize reciprocity on the land;
Jewish traditions encourage respect for study partners; Buddhist
teachers suggest discernment in befriending; Christian texts speak
of bringing God’s love into community. The fifteen scholars
contributing to this book draw on the teachings of six different
global traditions: Indigenous, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Islamic,
and Christian. Each scholar applies the tools of their
tradition—reciprocity, respect, discernment, love, and more—to
discuss how we might become our best selves in community.
A thought provoking examination of the interrelationship between
and among feminist bioethics, human rights, and global development,
Linking Visions addresses global concerns about oppression in the
context of health care, medical research, and population health.
Reflecting the ever-expanding diversity and comprehensiveness of
feminist bioethics, contributors examine such topics as
reproductive rights of women in India, HIV/AIDs policies, patenting
genetic material, the language of human rights, and consequences of
the OGlobal Gag RuleO. Linking Visions demonstrates the
far-reaching effects of feminism on global bioethics, highlighting
and celebrating the reality that feminist work is no longer
relegated solely to the realm of reproductive, sexual, or maternal
ethics.
