Morphologie der Ubermoral
Zum Moralismus in gesellschaftlichen und theologischen Debatten
by Detlef Hiller, edited by Daniel Strass
German description: War in moralischer Hinsicht fruher die Theologie im Verdacht, ihre Weltsicht ubergriffig auszuweiten, wahrend die “neuen” Wissenschaften eine “werturteilsfreie” Herangehensweise gegen zu viel Moral versprachen, scheinen heute die Sozialwissenschaften und auf sie bezogene Handlungsfelder moralisch aufgeladen, wahrend die Theologie schweigt oder sich dem Trend anschliesst. Die Autoren fragen aus verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Blickwinkeln nach den Ursachen dieser Entwicklung. Sie tasten sich dabei zu der Grenze vor, an der die Sorge um ein verantwortungsvolles Miteinander und Achtsamkeit umschlagen in einen rigiden Moralismus, den die Autoren in seinen verschiedenen Erscheinungsformen zu verstehen versuchen. In der Ruckbesinnung auf theologische Grundlagen und im Geiste einer vitalen christlichen Spiritualitat zeigen sich kritische Einsichten und uberraschende moralische Entlastungen. Mit Beitrager von Roland Deines, Kai Funkschmidt, Detlef Hiller, Gerold Lehner, Christoph Raedel, Daniel Strass und Henning Wrogemann English summary: From a moral point of view, theology used to be suspected of imposing its worldview on others, while the “new” sciences promised a “value-free” approach counteracting too much morality, whereas today the social sciences and their related fields of action seem to be morally charged, while theology remains silent or follows the trend. The authors inquire into the causes of this development from various scholarly perspectives. In doing so, they approach the boundary where concerns for responsible cooperation and mindfulness turn into a rigid moralism, which the authors try to understand in its various manifestations. In the return to theological foundations and in the spirit of a vital Christian spirituality critical insights and surprising moral relief are revealed.
