The seven deadly sins 3.0: a liberal critique of the contemporary lack of ethics and rationalism in science, society, and politics in the third millennium

The seven deadly sins 3.0: a liberal critique of the contemporary lack of ethics and rationalism in science, society, and politics in the third millennium. Edited by: Baer, Josette (2024). Stuttgart: ibidem.

Abstract

What are the Seven Deadly Sins? Are they still acknowledged breaches of morality and ethical norms in our Western societies in the Third Millennium? The Seven Deadly Sins present an ethical catalog, a moral mirror for princes and rulers that originates in Catholic Christianity. This little book, however, is not primarily about religion, on the contrary: It respects the Greek origins of Western thought that have survived beyond Christian faith, praises the scientific achievements of the Enlightenment, and looks at our contemporary world with critical eyes. It is a unique blend of scientific analysis, analysis of Western contemporary culture and, lastly, satire. The authors, a group of friends living in Europe, present diverse views on a wide range of topics. Their principal intention is to open a debate about ethics, science, scepticism, and hypocrisy. A thought-provoking and inspiring read—about the present as well as the future.
