Constructing Global Ethics Through Theological Pluralism

Abstract

This paper explores the formulation of a universal ethical framework through the lens of theological pluralism, acknowledging the diverse metaphysical narratives that shape moral reasoning across civilizations. It investigates how interreligious dialogue and comparative theology contribute to developing inclusive ethical principles capable of addressing global crises like climate change, economic inequality, and violent extremism. Drawing from major religious traditions, the study argues that theological pluralism does not dilute doctrinal truths but enhances mutual moral comprehension, which is essential for global coexistence. Through a qualitative and thematic analysis, this paper proposes a model for "global ethics" grounded in pluralistic theology, highlighting convergences in compassion, justice, stewardship, and human dignity.
