Ethical and legal implications of human dignity. 330 $aThe worldview that all human beings belong to one big family has, in the history of religions, never been taken for granted. Moreover, human rights are a modern notion that should not be projected back onto the sacred texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. However, from the Hellenistic period onwards one encounters the idea of human duties towards not only parents, neighbours and fellow citizens but to all human beings. This volume explores the development of this idea from Antiquity to the present time focussing on the \'other\' as \'neighbour, enemy, and infidel\', on the interpretation of the Biblical story of Abrahamīs sacrifice and on ancient and modern ethical and legal implications of the concept of human dignity. 410 0$aStudies in the history of religions ;$v134. 606 $aTheological anthropology$xHistory of doctrines 606 $aDignity$xReligious aspects$xHistory of doctrines 606 $aInterpersonal relations$xReligious aspects$xHistory of doctrines 606 $aAbrahamic religions 607 $aMediterranean Region$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTheological anthropology$xHistory of doctrines. 615 0$aDignity$xReligious aspects$xHistory of doctrines. 615 0$aInterpersonal relations$xReligious aspects$xHistory of doctrines. 615 0$aAbrahamic religions. 676 $a202/.2 701 $aBerthelot$b Katell$01048327 701 $aMorgenstern$b Matthias$f1959-$01048328 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461849803321 996 $aThe quest for a common humanity$92476562 997 $aUNINA
