Paradigmenwechsel sozial-ökologische Krise?

Is the socio-ecological crisis leading to a paradigm shift in Christian social ethics? Has such a paradigm shift already taken place, is it currently underway, or is it still to come? And: Is such a shift even meaningful or even necessary? This volume brings together 14 essays presenting the perspectives of young scholars in social ethics and related disciplines on these questions. The approaches and perspectives are just as diverse as the specific topics addressed by the authors. Based on the shared view that the socio-ecological crisis is currently having a profound impact on society and social ethics, (paradigmatic) changes are articulated in very different ways—whether in light of the dawn of the Anthropocene as a new era, the discovery of complex interconnections in the emerging environmental theology since the encyclical *Laudato si’*, or with regard to the transformation of our understanding of nature and ourselves. This volume thus provides guidance in one of the most pressing debates of our time.
