The extracts are regarding commerce and the formation of social contracts within and between nations. The book overall deals not only with religious interfaith, but includes cooperation between all three cultures of commitment, namely spirituality, commerce, and government. It aims at achieving true consensus between them rather than mere overlapping consensus as proposed by the American philosopher, John Rawls. It suggests that there is a need and a way to amend phrases of religious and non-religious doctrines to avoid his reliance on faith in reason.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderspiritualityGood governanceReligious ethicsMethods of ethicsSpirituality and ethicsArticle
