Launch of The Theory and Practice of Universal Ethics
ADDRESS TO THE LAUNCH OF ‘THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF UNIVERSAL ETHICS’ – THE NOAHIDE LAWS’ BY RABBI DR SHIMON DOVID COWEN
JEWISH RUSSIAN COMMUNITY CENTRE, BALACLAVA, VICTORIA
If ever there was a need for our world to understand, appreciate and salute some fundamental unifying ethics, surely it is now.
We’ve had the recent vile and violent attacks in Paris. The so-called thought leaders of the Western world describe us as being ‘post-modern’ for want of being able to provide an adequate descriptor. Anxious to junk the values which have seen personal well-being blossom like never before as ‘outmoded’, ‘dated’, ‘no longer relevant’ we are being left with nothing except an ideology of self-centredness which is the antithesis of a recipe for a cohesive society.
