Author Description

The book deals with the relationship of religion, ideology, violence and peace. The authors discuss these topics and related phenomena-such as religious (in)tolerance, religious pluralism, political terror and post-secular culture from different aspects (education, marriage, culture of memory, business ethics)-in different concrete societal contexts, including Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Taiwan, and more. Against this background of different academic disciplines, philosophy, theology, science of religion, sociology, intellectual history, psychology, science of education and legal science, this book offers an integral and inter-disciplinary insight into the nature, origins, function and connections of religion, ideology, violence, and peace.
