The contributions are selected from over 25 papers presented at the conference. We especially thank Jean-Daniel Strub, former Executive Coordinator of Globethics.net, for his excellent preparation and running of the conference (p. 15).Fundamentalism is a reality on all continents, in all world religions and in different political and economic movements and world views. It influences political, cultural, religious and economic development. "Overcoming fundamentalism" is a program. The contributors of this book do not call for military or power-related answers to fight fundamentalism. They carefully analyse the root causes and call for ethical responses through a value-oriented development, through respect by an active tolerance which is much more than "everything goes", by a holistic globalization which is much more than economic growth and open markets and by new concepts of the public role of religions. The book shows the commitment of Globethics.net to strengthen global common values while at the same time respecting the context and diversity of values.1 online resource (212 pages)eng2009 Globethics.netAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 Generic deed (CC BY-NC-ND 2.5)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/religionpoliticsFundamentalismethical valuestoleranceReligious fundamentalismPolitical ethicsReligious ethicsPublic, political theologyVirtue ethicsFreedom, Liberty and TolerationBook
