Verlagsankündigung
Thinking beyond the absolutes Christians and other religious persons increasingly find „deabsolutized“ in our modern thought world, Swidler reflects on the ways we humans think about the world and its meaning now that increasingly we notice that there are other ways of understanding the world than the way we grew up in. In this new situation we need to develop a common language we can use together both to appreciate our neighbors and enrich ourselves, what the author calls
Ecumenical Esperanto,
because it should serve as a common language
without replacing
any of the living languages
of our religious and ideological traditions.
Of course, such thinking anew about the world and its meaning
must necessarily mean thinking anew about all of our religious beliefs
