Perceptions of a common humanity -- pt. 2. The other as neighbor, enemy and infidel -- pt. 3. Human dignity and the value of human life : the case of Abraham's sacrifice -- pt. 4. Ethical and legal implications of human dignity.The worldview that all human beings belong to one big family has, in the history of religions, never been taken for granted. Moreover, human rights are a modern notion that should not be projected back onto the sacred texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. However, from the Hellenistic period onwards one encounters the idea of human duties towards not only parents, neighbours and fellow citizens but to all human beings. This volume explores the development of this idea from Antiquity to the present time focussing on the \'other\' as \'neighbour, enemy, and infidel\', on the interpretation of the Biblical story of Abraham´s sacrifice and on ancient and modern ethical and legal implications of the concept of human dignity.Studies in the history of religions ;134.Theological anthropologyHistory of doctrinesDignityReligious aspectsHistory of doctrinesInterpersonal relationsReligious aspectsHistory of doctrinesAbrahamic religionsMediterranean RegionReligionTheological anthropologyHistory of doctrines.DignityReligious aspectsHistory of doctrines.Interpersonal relationsReligious aspectsHistory of doctrines.Abrahamic religions.202/.2Berthelot Katell1177112Morgenstern Matthias1959-1669372MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808189503321The quest for a common humanity4030501UNINA
