Adeney, Bernard T.2019-09-252019-09-252014-05-3120149782940428694http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/207684Considering the widely different practices of people from even the same religion, it is apparent that there is not a single social imaginary associated with each religion. Not all Muslims, for example, imagine the same moral order. The same is true of all Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, or any other religious group. There is a bewildering diversity of visions of society including convictions about how we should deal with diversity in society. Sometimes people from different religions share the same social imaginary about the moral order that should govern society, even though the religious convictions that legitimate their social imaginary may be different. On the other hand they may imagine a different moral order from other members of their own religious community even though they share the same faith. That is one reason why conflicts between people who profess the same religion is often more acute than conflicts between people of different religions.Pages:91-130engCreative Commons Copyright (CC 2.5)ModernityImaginationCharles TaylorGlobal ethicsPolitical ethicsEconomic ethicsCultural ethicsReligious ethicsMethods of ethicsBioethicsCommunity ethicsEnvironmental ethicsBook chapter
