Ethics and the Future of Religion

Redefining the Absolute

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Humanity needs a common ethic, but the ethics of various religions are tied to their unique claims, which merge history with mythology or metaphysics. To address this problem, W. Royce Clark examines the thought of Friedrich Schleiermacher, G.W.F. Hegel, Paul Tillich, and Robert P. Scharlemann for elements of a possible universal ethic.
