PROZESKY, Martin. Tomorrow's ethics in a globalizing world. J. Study Relig. [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.1, pp.307-319. ISSN 2413-3027.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2413-3027/2018/v31n1a17.

The exploration of the ways ethical practice will change in the future is done in this article by means of five great transitions. They are as follows: firstly, from the ethics of obedience to an ethic of creative commitment; secondly, from a primary concern with micro-ethics to an equal and even greater concern with macro-ethics; thirdly, from a cluster of regional value systems to a cooperatively created global ethic; in the fourth place, from a conceptual base in western philosophy and theology to an academic base in the social and natural sciences; and in the fifth place, from dependence on religion in important parts of the world, including ours, to what I want to call a relationship with religion characterized by cooperative, critical and creative independence for ethics.

Palavras-chave : ethic of creative commitment; macro-ethics; a cooperatively created global ethic; academic base in the social and natural sciences; a relationship with religion.
