Ethical Questions in Judaism and Islam
Dialogical Lecture Series in the Context of the Jewish-Islamic Forum
This dialogical lecture series, which was held from October 2016 to July 2017 within the framework of our Jewish-Islamic Forum, picked up on ethically sensitive issues from different areas of life.
We considered social ethics and its concept of fair social order, the business ethics of capitalism, bioethical challenges at the boundaries of life, military ethics, sexual ethics, and environmental ethics.
These issues were illuminated from Jewish and Islamic perspectives – two researchers were invited to each lecture to present their respective positions and enter into dialog.
