Der moderne Rechtsstaat beansprucht, seine Burger unterschiedslos als freie und gleiche Personen zu behandeln. Aufgrund dieses allgemeinen Anspruchs sind von der Legitimation staatlicher Normen partikulare ethische Konzeptionen ebenso ausgeschlossen wie Willkur und Privilegium. Eine besondere Frage entsteht aber im Verhaltnis zu den grossen Religionen, die einerseits selbst mit universalen Geltungsanspruchen auftreten, andererseits als Offenbarungsreligionen durch ihre Geschichtlichkeit aber auch partikular sind. Die aus dem Anspruch der Rechtsstaatlichkeit folgende Forderung nach weltanschaulich neutraler sakularer Normgebung fuhrt auf eine fur die neuzeitliche Philosophie, besonders fur die Rechtsphilosophie, zentrale Frage: Lassen sich grundlegende, allen gemeinsame Eigenschaften der Menschen (z.B. die Vernunft) ohne Rekurs auf besondere kulturelle Erfahrungen normativ wenden? Daran schliesst sich die Frage an, wie die so gewonnenen Normen sich zu den je partikular uberlieferten verhalten. Damit ist das Verhaltnis von Politik und Religion vor dem Hintergrund moderner Rechtsstaatlichkeit angesprochen, aus dem sich eine Reihe von philosophisch-historischen sowie von rechtssystematischen Problemen ergeben. Diese Probleme werden in diesem Buch von Philosophen und Rechtswissenschaftlern eingehend erortert und diskutiert. Dabei wird, ausgehend von der je eigenen Fachperspektive, eine interdisziplinare Diskussion eroffnet. Das Leitthema der Beitrage bildet dabei das Verhaltnis von naturrechtlichen, kulturellen und positivrechtlichen Elementen in der Legitimation staatlicher Normsetzung einerseits und in der Begrundung subjektiver Rechte, insbesondere der Menschenrecht.

In: Cambridge elements. Elements in religion and violence
Religion and violence share a complex and enduring history. Viewing violence and religion from an evolutionary perspective situates both within a broader framework of aggressive, affiliative, and signaling behaviors across species. In this work the authors review genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors that influence violence, distinguishing two types of aggression that differ in underlying physiology and intent. The use of communicative signals to delimit aggression across species is surveyed and the emergence of human symbolic ritual as a signaling system for creating alliances and promoting in-group cooperation is proposed. Using Wallace's typology of religion, this Element explores differences across religious systems in relation to socioecological variation and examines the underlying mechanisms by which religion 'works'. The use of violence as both an 'honest signal' and a mechanism for inculcating religious belief is discussed, and the use of religion to incite, validate, and justify violence is reviewed.

One way of approaching the following essays is to pause here at the beginning and consider the peculiarity of the conversation we will be overhearing. In this volume we will be listening to a group of scholars who are Catholic, Episcopal, mainline Protestant, evangelical, and secularist in their varied backgrounds. They are considering the place of religion in public policymaking. The peculiarity arises if we think about American public life historically. For one thing, we are listening to people who most likely would not have been inclined to interact with each other at the outset of the twentieth century. More than that, they are talking about something that hardly anyone a hundred years ago would have thought even needs discussing.
"Now in its third edition, Grounding Religion explores relationships between the environment and religious beliefs and practices. Established scholars introduce students to the ways religion shapes and is shaped by human-earth relations, surveying a series of key issues and questions with particular attention to issues of environmental degradation, social justice, ritual practices, and religious worldviews. Case studies, discussion questions, and further readings enrich students' experience. This third edition features updated content, including revisions of every chapter and new material on religion and the environmental humanities, sexuality and queer studies, class, ability, privilege and power, environmental justice, extinction, biodiversity, and politics. An excellent text for undergraduates and graduates alike, it offers an expansive overview of the academic field of religion and ecology as it has emerged in the past fifty years and continues to develop today"--
