Globalizacija i svjetski etos

The author starts with the thesis that one system does not exist, or a single culture or religion, but different cultures, religions and levels of organizing that represent the concept of the present-day "world". The modern world (and the world of a modern society) is full of conflicts, and so the question is raised: How is it then possible to establish a world peace?, and, What is the contribution of world religious systems? With the globalisation there comes the issue of the need for world ethic (ethos). Does the globalisation need the world ethic?, and, What is the world ethic? In view of this, the author will elaborate the concept of world ethic of Hans Küng. The world ethic is not a consequence of the process of globalisation, but an autonomous idea that has existed before the globalisation discourse. Küng starts from the fact that the majority of people belong to a certain religious concept and that creeds had a significant influence on shaping the world and the relations within it. The world needs peace for everyday living, so religions could significantly contribute to the world peace. Their contribution is the one of decreasing inter-religious conflicts. The establishment of religious peace is possible through the dialogue among religions, and this dialogue is possible and necessary. Its fundament lays within the values that world religions share.
