Conscience in interreligious dialogue: Telling the story of Oneself as Another

Whereas in Chapter 12, I mostly discussed selfhood and otherness in relation to the moral formation of individuals, in this chapter I will also look into the communal dimensions of Self and Other. I will argue that Paul Ricoeur’s notion of ‘oneself as another’ seems very appropriate to reconcile the external and internal dimensions of the moral call. In my view, it may also function as a bridge between communal identity and universal obligation.
