Die fachlichen Expertisen aus der Psychologie, Philosophie, Soziologie, Linguistik und den Geschichtswissenschaften dienen dazu, das Konzept von Ambiguitat fur die systematischen und ethischen Facher der Theologie attraktiv und fruchtbar zu machen und gleichzeitig dessen Relevanz fur den breiteren gesellschaftlichen Rahmen aufzuzeigen. Sie machen deutlich, dass Gesellschaft, Wissenschaft und Religion der Komplexitat des Lebens am ehesten dann gerecht werden konnen, wenn sie der Verlockung eindeutiger Antworten widerstehen.


From an interdisciplinary perspective, this anthology is dedicated to both the phenomenon and the concept of ambiguity in the ambiguous field between society, science and religion. It attempts to stimulate the study of ambiguity and tolerance of ambiguity as a characteristic and challenge for social differentiation processes. Expertise from psychology, philosophy, sociology, linguistics and the historical sciences serves to make the concept of ambiguity attractive and fruitful for the systematic and ethical subjects of theology and simultaneously shows its broader relevance for social frameworks. It becomes clear that society, science and religion can best do justice to the complexity of life when they resist the lure of unambiguous answers. Thus, the authors of this volume agree that the answers to the question of a successful social coexistence are definitely ambiguous.

Katharina Mairinger war von 2018-2021 Universitätsassistentin am Fachbereich für Theologische Ethik an der Universität Wien und ist seit September 2021 Deutsch- und Religionslehrerin an einem deutschen Gymnasium.
