Portrait of Globethics.net
- The network for ethical issues -
Globethics.net is a worldwide ethics network based in Geneva,
with an international Board of Foundation of eminent persons. It
provides an electronic platform for ethical reflection and action. Its
central instrument is the internet site www.globethics.net. For its activities in research and access to knowledge in ethics, Globethics.net can also be called a learned society.
The
aim of Globethics.net is to ensure that people in all regions of the
world are empowered to reflect and act on ethical issues. In
order to ensure access to knowledge resources in applied ethics,
Globethics.net has developed its Globethics.net Library, the leading
global digital library on ethics. Globethics.net took this initiative to
ensure that persons - especially in Africa, Asia and Latin-America -
have access to good quality and up to date knowledge resources. The
founding conviction of Globethics.net was that more equal access to
knowledge resources in the field of applied ethics will enable persons
and institutions from developing and transition economies to become more
visible and audible in the global discourse on ethics. There is no cost
involved in using the library. Individuals only need to register (free
of charge) as participants on the Globethics.net website (www.globethics.net) to get access to all the full text journals, encyclopedias, e-books and other resources in the library.
In
addition to the library, Globethics.net also offers participants on its
website the opportunity to join or form electronic working groups for
purposes of networking or collaborative research. The
international secretariat, based in Geneva, currently concentrates on
three topics of research: Business and Economic Ethics, Methodologies of
Interreligious Ethics and Responsible Leadership. The knowledge
produced through the working groups and research finds their way into
publications that are also made available in the Globethics.net Library.
One of the latest fruits of such collaborative work is the book,
Overcoming Fundamentalism (edited by Christoph Stückelberger and Heidi
Hadsell, 2009, Geneva: Globethics.net).
