Abstract
Abstract According to a wide-spread opinion, protestant ethics is based on its Christian understanding of reality. Hence the task of protestant ethics is seen in the deduction and justification of moral judgments about ethically controversial questions from premises of the Christian faith. The present contribution offers an in-depth critique of this predominant view. Its assumption is that this concept is based on a wrong understanding of both moral and religion. Either one is connected to the presence of reality (»Wirklichkeitspräsenz«); thus the relation between the two has to be determined within the horizon of the presence of reality instead of theoretical deductions and constructs.
