Conscience Culture as a Universal Moral Compass

Résumé fourni par la source

The multiple crises of contemporary globalization—climate change, inequality, cultural homogenization, and institutional fragmentation—reveal the limitations of intervention models that overlook local ethics and cultural resilience. This chapter proposes Conscience Culture as a paradigm for cross-cultural governance, placing conscience at the ethical core of education, governance, and global cooperation. Integrating the Confucian philosophy of “unity of essence and function” (Ti–Yong) with global moral traditions, it develops three pillars: Spiritual Awakening, Conscience Education, and Ethical Co-Creation. Through the lens of the “paradox of intervention,” it emphasizes the importance of reflection and moral self-awareness in governance. References include the Rights of Nature in Bolivia and Ecuador, Bhutan's Gross National Happiness, and Southern Africa's Ubuntu ethics, while Tai Ji Men's An Era of Conscience movement serves as the primary case. It argues that conscience can guide transformation from margins to center, fostering coexistence, shared prosperity, and lasting peace.
