RT Article T1 Die Gesinnung der Verantwortungsethik JF Evangelische Theologie VO 77 IS 3 SP 212 OP 227 A1 Ohly, Lukas 1969- LA German PB De Gruyter YR 2017 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1693733552 AB Max Weber's differentiation between ethics of responsibility and ethics of conscience plays a prominent role in political ethics until today, but this is no ethical differentiation. Additionally, based on a categorical mistake, this difference is false in meta-ethical respect. In normative respect, Weber's rationale of an ethics of responsibility is (even) circular. Employing two examples from (recent) theological ethics, the present essay sketches consequences of these conceptual weaknesses within the present debate on the refugee crisis.
