Abstract:
Environmental justice has always been on the agenda of Globethics. In 2014, the organisation decided to amplify religious voices in the sphere, advocating for a global and fair solution, by publishing the book: “Religions for Climate Justice: International Interfaith Statements 2008- 2014”. In 2023, Globethics became more actively engaged in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UN-FCCC) and the annual Conference of Parties (COP28) in Dubai, by organising a session entitled: “Listen to those who listen to the earth. A plea for an urgent ethical blue framework by indigenous populations and world religions.” Moreover, Globethics is glad to support the ethical leadership of societal actors, especially indigenous and faith-based actors, by offering to policymakers and the global audience at COP28 and beyond, three open-access volumes including a selection of key messages and statements issued by a) interfaith initiatives, b) indigenous communities, and c) religious actors. In facing the climate crisis, which has become a life and future crisis, all voices are needed. A special attention to indigenous and religious voices is due, since they represent in many cases the voiceless yet most impacted populations, and are heirs of ethical and spiritual wisdom, able to reframe the issue beyond economic and political agendas.

Abstract:
يرى بعضهم أنّ ما من أهميّةٍ تذكر للآفاق الأخلاقيّة المتصلة بإدارة المياه أو أنّ لا قيمة مضافة لها. بيد أنّ هذا النّص، في تناوله لأخلاقيّات الماء، يدافعُ عن الأطروحة المضادة، ذلك أنّه يستحضرُ القيم والمبادئ الأخلاقية بغية التأثير في القضايا المتّصلة بالمياه وتقديم الحلول الّتي تزيدُ من فرص الأطراف المعنيّة في تحقيق نتائج إيجابيّة. وما من شكّ في أنّ الاعتبارات الأخلاقيّة تلعبُ دوراً هامّا، في طريقة إدارة المياه المتاحة وقيمتها السوقية، على سبيل المثال، بوصفهما مسألتان تتعلقان بالأخلاقيّات الاقتصادية والوصول العادل إلى المياه، أو في ما يتعلقّ بالابتكارات التقنية المتصلة باستخراج المياه ومعالجتها وتزويدها بوصفها جزءاً لا يتجزّأ من أخلاقيّات الابتكار أو في إدارة نزاعات المياه بوصفها مسألة ضرورية لأخلاقيّات السلام أو في تنظيم المياه وإدارتها بوصفها مسألة تتطلّب توفّر أخلاقيّات سياسية أو في طريقة التعاطي مع التقاليد والمعتقدات الدينية، وهو تعاطٍ لا يمكنُ، بأيّ حالٍ من الأحوال، أن يغفل الأخلاقيّات الدينية.

Abstract:
Cet ouvrage est le fruit d’une thèse de doctorat légèrement modifiée. Lv 17-26 nommé Code de Sainteté s’évertue à réglementer les sacrifices qui sont déjà en soi des actes violents (du moins contre les animaux). Dans la mesure où les rédacteurs de ce Code font face à une certaine violence, il importe de mettre en évidence le rapport établi entre l’exigence du respect de la vie (humaine et animale) et les prescriptions sacrificielles. Les différents systèmes sacrificiels de la Bible hébraïque avec leurs particularités permettent de comprendre le cadre dans lequel les sacrifices d’animaux, ou mieux la violence contre les animaux où la victime est mise à mort, a été autorisée et codifiée. L’examen des textes relatifs aux dérèglements sociaux et leurs sanctions, indique l’articulation qui existe entre le texte biblique et les réalités sociales qui se cachent derrière lui. Enfin, les textes font ressortir l’émergence des droits sociaux pour insister sur la mise en œuvre des pratiques non-violentes et valoriser le respect de la vie humaine et animale. Dans le contexte de la région des Grands-Lacs africains, parler du respect de la vie humaine convient pour prévenir la spirale de la violence ou transformer les conflits qui éclatent, qui dégénèrent et qui durent constitue un message capable de susciter des échos partout où les rapports entre individus ou entre communautés sont en proie à de vifs chocs.

Abstract:

Conflict sensitive reporting has become an important field of research since the Norwegian prof. Johan Galtung started his research into peace and conflict resolution, which has been further developed by several authors, such as Mari Holmboe, Jake Lynch, Annabel McGoldrick, Erving Goffman, or Nadine Bilke. In the present work, this model has been used to analyse the conflict reporting of the Boko Haram crisis in Nigeria, which has become the 2nd deadliest conflict in the country only after the Nigerian civil war of 1967-1970 and has claimed more than 16,000 lives since its start in 1999. This research will conclude that the Nigerian print media were not equally conflict sensitive in the coverage of the Boko Haram crisis between the period under case study.

Abstract:
Über 50 Jahre sind seit dem Erscheinen des ersten Berichts für den Club of Rome (1972) vergangen. Kritik am ökonomischen Wachstum ist mittlerweile weitgehend etabliert. In der akademischen und öffentlichen Debatte stehen sich indessen verschiedene Lager gegenüber. Anhänger eines Postwachstums gelten dabei gemeinhin als radikalste Wachstumskritiker. Selten wird jedoch die zeitgenössische Wachstumskritik selbst einer kritischen Untersuchung ausserhalb des Denkens in Lagerkategorien unterzogen. Stattdessen gilt auch in der Postmoderne die Devise der Nicht-Überschreitung planetarer Grenzen als ein verbliebener und akzeptierter normativer Rettungsanker mit Absolutheitsanspruch. Die vorliegende Arbeit seziert die weltanschaulichen Vorannahmen hinter der heutigen Wachstumskritik. Aus wirtschaftsphilosophischer Perspektive erweisen sich die Postwachstumsargumente bei genauer Analyse als selbstwidersprüchlich. Die Wachstumsdynamik kann so nicht überwunden werden, sondern wird im Gegenteil sogar perpetuiert. Die Ursache liegt dabei in der cartesianistischen Reduktion der Wachstumsfrage auf einen rein quantitativ und entsubjektiviert gedachten Problembereich .

Abstract:
This publication focuses on the research question: “What can the potential role of Christian worship in the Great Lakes region be to promote reconciliation and peace and healing after social and ethnic violence and conflicts?” The answer this book proposes is that a reconstructed Pentecostal Worship will significantly contribute to the process of reconciliation, peace-making, and healing of the ethnic groups in the Great Lakes region. The study theorises a Pentecostal practical theology backed in the theologies of reconstruction, politics and reconciliation. Using an empirical approach, this book draws on the spiritual, cultural, demographical and sociological potentials at the disposal of Pentecostal leaders to promote a reconstructed Pentecostal worship. It envisions a new praxis of spiritual potentials like prophecy, testimony, glossolalia, and emotional praising as opportunities to reconcile and heal people.

Abstract:
La educación transita tiempos de ebullición. Las plataformas adaptativas, la inteligencia artificial generativa, los simuladores de realidad aumentada y los modelos predictivos, entre otras muchas innovaciones, ponen en crisis a escuelas, institutos superiores y universidades. Una vez más, aflora la pregunta sobre el sentido de la educación tradicional. Los más progresistas auguran el fin de la docencia tal como la conocemos, o su reconversión según el formato del instructor para el uso de plataformas y dispositivos digitales. En el otro extremo, voces más conservadoras se resisten a la transformación digital profunda y promueven la asimilación de novedades tecnológicas para ajustarlas a la liturgia educativa tradicional. Este libro propone superar esta dicotomía estéril.Describe un modelo de educación aumentada basado en la hibridación no sustitutiva entre tecnología y docencia; un modelo que potencia lo irremplazable de la educación personalizada mediante el efecto amplificador de las innovaciones tecnológicas.

Abstract:
This publication articulated in three parts, and twelve chapters endeavours to engage with the complex negative emotions and consequent phenomenon of self-deceit, radicalisation and extremism. First part: Emotions as Lines of Demarcation or Guidelines to Our Self. The Psychodynamic Surrounding of our Intentional Self; second part: Case Studies of Some Concrete Societal Encapsulations of the Negative Passions; and third part: Resisting the Colonisation of Tyrannical Affections. Possible Paths of Mitigating Radicalisation and Extremism. What kind of educational responses can be given to extremist claims of territory, identity, resources, power, and interpretations? How can a dialogue on unifying ethical principles and values aid in developing common grounds for preventing radical and extremist excesses? With authors from three continents, this publication endeavours to not only ask the uncomfortable questions with regard to the exteriorisation of human emotive predispositions and inclinations to ostracize, stigmatise and discriminate. The exit door from the extreme is also clearly presented, through four contributions, notably the interplay of Charvaka philosophy, Sikh wisdom on balanced forms of engagement with strong emotions.
