Ethik-Grundlagen-Kurs für das Ethikum
(in English)
Complex interdependencies and mutual dependencies in energy, raw materials and products; global crises such as climate change, biodiversity loss, injustice, spiralling hatred, geostrategic rivalries; global challenges such as resource management, coping with disasters, conflicts and wars... need a common basis of shared values that are recognised across all nations, cultures and religions in order to be overcome peacefully. What approaches to global values are there? How are they derived, justified and communicated? What role do they play in global affairs and how is compliance with them ensured?
