Abstract

«Je plaisante, je plaisante, mais la situation est affreusement désespérée. L’affaire était louche dès le début pourtant, l’ennemi n’est pas tombé du ciel, il sortait bien de quelque trou, verdammt, un enfant l’aurait compris. Quand avons-nous cessé d’être intelligents ou simplement attentifs ?» Ute Von Ebert, dernière héritière d’un puissant empire industriel, habite à Erlingen, fief cossu de la haute bourgeoisie allemande. Sa fille Hannah, vingt-six ans, vit à Londres. Dans des lettres au ton très libre et souvent sarcastique, Ute lui raconte la vie dans Erlingen assiégée par un ennemi dont on ignore à peu près tout et qu’elle appelle «les Serviteurs», car ils ont décidé de faire de la soumission à leur dieu la loi unique de l’humanité. La population attend fiévreusement un train qui doit l’évacuer. Mais le train du salut n’arrive pas. Et si cette histoire était le fruit d’un esprit fantasque et inquiet, qui observe les ravages de la propagation d’une foi sectaire dans les démocraties fatiguées ? Comme dans 2084, Boualem Sansal décrit la mainmise de l’extrémisme religieux sur les zones fragiles de nos sociétés, favorisée par la lâcheté ou l’aveuglement des dirigeants

Abstract

Spirit and Capital in an Age of Inequality brings together a diverse group of scholars, activists and public intellectuals to consider one of the most pressing issues of our time: increasing inequalities of income and wealth that grate against justice and erode the bonds that hold society together. The contributors think through different religious traditions to understand and address inequality. They make practical proposals in relation to concrete situations like mass incarceration and sweatshops. They also explore the inner experience of life in a society marked by inequality, tracing the contours of stress, hopelessness and a restless lack of contentment. This book honors the work of Jon P. Gunnemann, who has been a leading scholar at the intersections of religion and economics.

Abstract

This collection of essays discusses the human relationship with, and responsibilities toward, the natural environment from the perspective of religions and the social sciences. The chapters examine a variety of conditions that have contributed to the contemporary environmental crisis, including abuse of power, economic greed, industrialization, deforestation, and unplanned waste management. They then discuss concepts from several different religious texts and traditions that promote environmental protection as a sacred moral duty for all humanity. Religious concepts such as dharma (duty toward Mother Earth), tikkun Olam (repair of the world), khalifa (people as deputies of God on earth), amanah (the universe as a trust in human hands), and paticca samuppada (dependent co-arising) are employed to argue that all the components of the biosphere are integral to the cosmos, each piece with its own value and role in the harmony of the whole. The book makes it clear that religions can become more “green” and play a helpful role in raising our ecological consciousness and supporting preservation of the environment into the future.--

Abstract

Human rights literature has tended to exclude religious foundations from the realm of human rights. This has led to a lack of progress which confuses our understanding of the relationship between human rights and religion: this work argues that by paying close attention to developments in human rights litigation we can make theoretical progress.
