Professorship of Theological Ethics and Social Ethics

The Chair of Theological Ethics focuses on the research and teaching of moral theology and social ethics (in particular via the Institute of Social Ethics ISE, which falls under the Chair of Theological Ethics). This includes scholarly reflection on issues at an individual ethical level (moral theology) on the one hand and on ethical topics at a social level (social ethics) on the other, as well as the interaction between both levels. This scientific basis has enabled the Chair of Theological Ethics to become a dialogue partner for politics, business, civil society on a local, regional, national, and international level.

Call for Papers: International Anniversary Conference “Identities”

In 1981 the Institute of Social Ethics ISE was founded. The 40th anniversary will take place in 2021. This event offers the opportunity to look back into history as well as forward — into the future.

As part of the anniversary, various events on the subject of “Identities” are planned from September 2020 to March 2021. The question of identity not only challenges us as a theological ethics between church, politics and society, but we share this challenge with many other scientific disciplines. Additionally, we can observe how identity issues break with new power and drag deep cracks through our societies.

The international anniversary conference "Identities: narratives between determination and plurality from an ethical perspective” will take place on March 1 and 2, 2021.
