Globale Verteidigung der Menschenwürde
Book Description
In a world where human dignity faces unprecedented threats from group-based hostility and unchecked economic forces, Herbert Rommel presents a profound exploration of how diverse faith traditions can unite to protect our shared humanity. This comprehensive study addresses a fundamental question that resonates across cultures and beliefs: Can we find common ethical ground to defend human dignity on a global scale?
Rommel begins with a secular understanding of human dignity, then embarks on an illuminating interfaith journey through the sacred texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. His comparative approach seeks to discover whether these holy scriptures contain concepts and metaphors that align with secular perspectives on human worth and value. Through careful analysis spanning 383 pages, the author reveals surprising convergences between religious and non-religious frameworks for understanding dignity.
The study's findings offer hope for collaborative action between believers and secular thinkers in protecting human dignity. Rommel demonstrates that such cooperation requires monotheistic religions to expand their theological perspectives, moving beyond exclusive self-perceptions that marginalize others. Instead, he advocates for strengthening the universal dimensions within each faith tradition.
This work provides valuable insights for anyone seeking to understand how different worldviews can work together to address contemporary challenges to human dignity. Rommel's interfaith approach offers a pathway toward greater unity while respecting the distinct contributions of each tradition to our collective understanding of human worth.
