Ethics, Communication, Religious Dialogue in Normal World

Summary/Abstract: In our global world again religious beliefs play a fundamental role in the make-up of a cultural group and of a society. This is due to the fact that religious beliefs give definition to a society as a whole, or better, to the specific social group existing within it. This ‘definition’ consists in the shaping of behavior, of one’s way of thinking, and of common values, both in terms of the relationship between the human being and the Divine sphere, and that which regards the relationships between the human being and the world, others, and himself. In the first case, that is, the relationship between the individual and the One, we can consider religion in a strict sense, while, in the second case, the individual’s relationships with the world, others, and himself have to do with the inherent ethical aspects of these religious beliefs. Finally, in globalization we have to move in the direction of acknowledging the fact that there are some ethical aspects that are shared by various religious groups. In order to carry out this task, we must be aware that through the way itself, in which the possible comparison between religions, and through the manner of communication, can we open up a common space: a space that works because specific ethical principles are carried out. Only in this way, is it possible to open paths to the achievement of universal sharing among religions in the time of globalization.
