- Summary:
- Taking the three Abrahamic religions as a test case, contributors identified only by name test the hypothesis that religions that are monotheistic share common ethical values, guidelines, and frameworks. Their topics include some preliminary considerations and data, religious symbolism and moral distinctiveness, Biblical and post-metaphysical views on the ethics of creation, Al-Gazali's ethical egoism and divine will, finding common ground among monotheists in bioethics, and Protestant bioethics and the new reproductive technologies.
