Christian Social Ethics
World events have made clear that liberal society must become more resilient in the face of totalitarian challenges. But how is liberal society to do that? In this groundbreaking work, social ethicist Elmar Nass presents the ethical and anthropological foundations of a liberal social order within a Christian conception of humanity and society in an ecumenical spirit. In doing so, Nass revives the long-neglected discussion on the ethics of order. Christian foundations and claims are currently confronted with alternative social-ethical concepts from other religions, traditions, and social philosophies. Nass argues that Christian social ethics has a critical role to play as it engages the world...

Familie im Wandel
Familienpolitik hat in Deutschland und Korea seit einigen Jahren enorm an Bedeutung gewonnen. Vor allem die sinkenden Geburtenraten und die sich aus dem demographischen Wandel ergebenden problematischen Konsequenzen für den Arbeitsmarkt und die Sozialversicherungssysteme führen dazu, dass in beiden Ländern aus einem ehemals eher randständigen Politikbereich mittlerweile ein zentraler Gegenstand politischen Handelns wurde. Gleichzeitig ist zu beobachten, dass sich das Bild der Familie in Deutschland und Korea in einem Wandel befindet. Der vorliegende Band beleuchtet deutsche und koreanische Familien aus politischer, gesellschaftlicher und ökonomischer Perspektive.
Die Moralphilosophie des David Hume und ihre Aktualität in der Rechtsphilosophie
Die Frage der Begründbarkeit moralischer Normen ist ein zentrales Problem der Rechtsphilosophie und eng verbunden mit der Frage des Zusammenhangs von Moral und Recht. Utilitaristische Theorien, die heute in einer nahezu unüberschaubaren Vielzahl vertreten werden, versuchen moralische Normen über ihren Nutzen zu rechtfertigen. Interessenbasierte Ansätze - die in jüngerer Zeit an Bedeutung gewonnen haben - knüpfen an den Utilitarismus an und gehen streckenweise deutlich über ihn hinaus. An Bedeutung gewonnen haben auch Theorien, die zur Rechtfertigung moralischer Normen auf Mitleid und artverwandte Phänomene abstellen. Die vorgenannten Ansätze haben wenig gemein, außer dass ihre Vert...
Human Rights and Relative Universalism
This book argues that human rights cannot go global without going local. This important lesson from the winding debates on universalism and particularism raises intricate questions: what are human rights after all, given the dissent surrounding their foundations, content, and scope? What are legitimate deviances from classical human rights (law) and where should we draw “red lines”? Making a case for balancing conceptual openness and distinctness, this book addresses the key human rights issues of our time and opens up novel spaces for deliberation. It engages philosophical reasoning with law, politics, and religion and demonstrates that a meaningful relativist account of human rights is not only possible, but a sorely needed antidote to dogmatism and polarization.
A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, Supplement
The present work supplements the original volume of A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, the most extensive bibliography on Islamic criminal law ever compiled. Drawing on a multitude of sources online and offline this bibliography covers in its thematic section not only the classical crime categories of ḥudūd, qiṣāṣ and taʿzīr but also a large number of newly emerging and related fields. In a second section, dedicated to countries, eras and institutions Olaf Köndgen comprehensively covers the historical and modern application of Islamic criminal law in all its forms. Unlocking the richness of this sub-field of Islamic law, also with the help of two detailed indices, this innovative reference work is highly relevant for all those researching Islamic law in general and the application of Islamic criminal law over time in particular.
