“…Business ethics, legal ethics, political ethics, research ethics, media ethics, bio-and medical ethics are the most important examples of such 'field ethics'. Just as it cannot be a matter of adapting morality or ethos to the supposed 'practical constraints' of the various fields of practice, the goal of ethical reflection cannot be to (Honecker 1999):…”

All the medical and bioethical questions, ranging from stem cell research to converging technologies and synthetic biology, touch on the question regarding the image of human beings and their position in the cosmos, by which we are able to orient ourselves. This article argues that the biblical belief in creation and the discourse about humans as created beings by and in the image of God can still be proclaimed as a viable form of human self-interpretation in the present. The distinction between practical knowledge and knowledge of orientation may be of help here. Guidance for how to live and act is not best found in abstract principles, but rather in meaningful stories, in metaphors and symbols. On this level, too, is also where faith in creation and the certainty of our own creatureliness is located.Contribution: This article interprets the doctrine of creation by a hermeneutical theology. It analyses the interdependence between hermeneutics and criticism in the process of reinterpreting the classical propositions about the human being and the world as God’s creation and the relation of anthropology and ethics. The aim is to show what might be the contribution of Christian faith in creation to the approach of an ethics of responsibility in the field of bioethics and ecology. The specific contribution of this article to current debates on an ethics of creation is the thesis that the key to a well-balanced theological approach to all this is the Pauline doctrine of justification as interpreted by the protestant reformers.

The contemporary ethical landscape appears to many to be marked by a plurality of normative regions. The values and standards of one region may contrast and conflict with those of other regions, creating a sense of dissonance and discontinuity for the individual agent. This article explores how the phenomenon of such dissonance might be conceptualized. It considers the attempts of two thinkers who, following on Weber's notion of autonomous spheres, give a theoretical account of a pluralized ethical environment in terms of distinct, autonomous zones that reflect distinctive assumptions about rationality and action. While such Weber‐inspired theories are compelling in some respects, they have the potential of overemphasizing the autonomy of the various regions. An alternative idea of ethical sectors, rather than orders, seeks to avoid this problem by positing a more porous, less delimited ethical landscape, one that allows for a sense of ethical identity that an agent can maintain across different sectors.
