Inhaltsangabe

Seeks to provide an alternative to post-9/11 pessimism about the ability of ethical dialogue to resolve disagreements. It begins by acknowledging the problem: on our tightly interconnected planet, entire populations look for moral guidance to religious and cultural traditions, which often stiffen, rather than soften, opposing moral perceptions.

"...transnational debates about ethics are unavoidable, and the authors of this outstanding collection of essays are to be thanked for helping us to think further about the directions in which such debates -- both within and between traditions -- should develop."
-Stephen C. Angle, Wesleyan University, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
