@cerenkenar Türkiye’de doğurganlık düşüşü 2002’ye özgü değil. 1960’lardan beri süren uzun vadeli bir eğilim. Sanırım bütün OECD ülkelerinde görmek mümkün. Ancak son dönemin kendine has dinamikleri olduğu da bir gerçek. Onun da kalkınmayla alakası yok.
@AhmetGunestekin İnsana dair meselelerin kesin cevapları nadiren var. Bazen zorluk, bazen de güvence üretimi mümkün kılabilir. Sosyal bilimlerin tarihi de zaten bu tür tartışmaların tarihidir.
@sevanslux@JamesRaussen@unherd@holland_tom@freddiesayers@nickcave But what are “those values”? Are they historically fixed and uniquely “Christian”? Concepts like dignity, equality, and individualism have evolved over time and appear in different forms across many cultures.
@confehrenbach@JamesRaussen@unherd@holland_tom@freddiesayers@nickcave This is not really about abolition but about claiming certain humanitarian virtues as unique to one religion. The civilisation that abolished slavery had also practised it for centuries. Meanings of such virtues change over time. Your proposition itself says quite a lot. Thanks.
@confehrenbach@JamesRaussen@unherd@holland_tom@freddiesayers@nickcave Christian abolitionists played an important role, yes. But Christian societies also justified slavery for centuries. Moral reflection about injustice has emerged in many traditions, not only within Christianity.
@confehrenbach@JamesRaussen@unherd@holland_tom@freddiesayers@nickcave Christianity itself coexisted with slavery and rigid hierarchies for centuries. The point is that ethical principles such as dignity and compassion appear across many traditions, even if societies often fall short of them.
@JamesRaussen@unherd@holland_tom@freddiesayers@nickcave But those values are not uniquely Christian. Versions of dignity, compassion, and moral equality appear across many religions. The real differences tend to lie in theology, not the ethical core.
@AngaraManhattan@sinanulgen1 Reza Talebi stated on an online broadcast of Daktilo1984 that the Iranian armed forces have a doctrine of independent decision-making when communications are down, if I am not stating it incorrectly.
