Book Description
In The Mystery and the World, Maria Clara Bingemer explores how the place of religion in society has dramatically shifted since the Enlightenment. The modern era is characterised by a major change in humanity's fundamental desires that means that reason has taken the place of faith. Human beings, in their ongoing search for a scientific understanding of the world, have drifted away from seeking any essence of transcendence in their lives. Bingemer examines this transition and how, especially inthe postmodern era, it has led to technology and superficial happiness becoming all-important as opposed to the more sacred sense of contentment that governed us for centuries prior to the Enlightenment. In her discussion, however, Bingemer demonstrates that we as humans have not lost our innate desire to believe in a higher power and that, even in our world of instant satisfaction, we still need to fill the void left by religion. Through well-researched analysis of the modern era and discussion of some of the mystics of more recent times, she reveals to readers how our religious belief, whilst changed, is not dead and is still an important aspect of our existence.

Book Description
HIV/AIDS constitutes a global problem. A good number of scholars from different nationalities, multiple rationalities, religious sensibilities, theological intelligibilities and ethical, cultural, and ecclesiastical backgrounds have affirmed that this worldwide quagmire constitutes a global health problem and social malady which does not have a well-defined geographically limited spread. The global nature of HIV/AIDS as seen in the statistics does not however undermine the fact that the effects of this sickness are not felt proportionally from one nation to another. This book proposes to situate the local as a veritable site of empowerment for communities dealing with HIV/AIDS, as it is the case with the African continent. The author of this book, over and above the way the problem of HIV/AIDS has been constructed, projected, and reviewed, decided to situate this epidemic of the 20th Century within the socio-cultural and political context of the Nigerian nation with particular reference to the Igbo people. The task of contextualizing this problem reveal the identity of the author as an Igbo, and as a theologian, who engages the indigenous ethical principles, unsophisticated traditional wisdom, cultural and religious values of his people in offering solutions that resonate the cultural identity of his people in dialogue with modern and post-modern constructs.

Book Description
Ni la acumulación de deuda, ni la construcción de viviendas ni el consumo ilimitado de productos y recursos nos sacarán de la profunda crisis económica, energética y medioambiental que vivimos. El futuro pertenece a las sociedades que faciliten el despliegue de la capacidad emprendedora de sus ciudadanos. Bajo esta premisa, Ángel Pes y Norbert Bilbeny se adentran en el papel clave de la responsabilidad social de las empresas y, desde una visión eminentemente práctica, defienden la necesidad de promover la actividad emprendedora sin descuidar la distribución equitativa de los beneficios del desarrollo económico y su carácter sostenible.Para ello, explican cómo dar forma a las exigencias de una economía sostenible a través de numerosos ejemplos de empresas que han sabido ver las ventajas que ofrece la responsabilidad corporativa. Ser empresario responsable no solo es una elección: es una necesidad para construir el futuro.

Book Description
The concept of a preferential option for the poor calls for a special attention to the weakest members of a particular society. Such an option is a challenge for the ethics of science as well. How can we pursue an "option for the poor" in the humanities? Can we do that without generating "ideologies"? This volume gives an account of these questions. Representatives of sociology, religious studies, law, economics, theology, history and philosophy try to answer this question. It is manifest that the discussion of an option for the poor is also a matter of intellectual integrity.

Book Description
El «Proyecto de una Ética Mundial» surge en 1990 como programa de pensamiento y acción que responde a la necesidad de una orientación ética global para la humanidad ante los retos de la mundialización. El Proyecto se articula en tres momentos que se requieren mutuamente: «no hay supervivencia sin una ética mundial», «no hay paz mundial sin paz religiosa», «no hay paz religiosa sin diálogo entre las religiones». Con la aprobación por el Parlamento de las Religiones del Mundo (Chicago, 1993) de una «Declaración sobre la Ética Mundial» y la actividad, iniciada a finales de 1995, de la Fundación para la Ética Mundial, se ha proseguido el proceso de comunicación intercultural e interreligioso exigido por la idea de una ética mundial. Desde un principio el Proyecto de una Ética Mundial no fue concebido exclusivamente como terreno especializado de los teólogos, sino que siempre se planteó de manera interdisciplinaria. Los editores del presente volumen, Hans Küng y Karl-Josef Kuschel, han querido así convocar a científicos de diversas disciplinas para que indaguen las posibilidades de aplicación e integración de la ética mundial en el contexto y desde la óptica de cada especialidad. Ninguna de estas disciplinas (desde la filosofía y la pedagogía, pasando por la economía, las ciencias políticas y el derecho, hasta las ciencias naturales e, incluso, la experiencia artística) puede eludir las preguntas fundamentales a las que les enfrenta la búsqueda de valores, ideales y actitudes básicas comunes a la humanidad, sin menoscabo de las diferencias culturales y religiosas.
