NEECOST - Nature and environmental ethics in contemporary Shiite thought

NEECOST的目标是为正在进行的对生态危机的宗教伦理反应的研究做出重大贡献。它探索了迄今为止未被探索的话题，即什叶派穆斯林思想家从20世纪末到现在如何应对生态危机，以及如何将这一点应用于商业和企业伦理。NEECOST的三个主要目标是：1)考察现代什叶派古兰经注释、哲学条约、法理学和环境神学条约中的自然和环境模式；调查整合宗教和环境知识对社会、政治和经济的潜在好处；为了探索生活在欧洲的什叶派在多大程度上认同欧洲社会和政治议程的环境目标，以英国-欧洲最大的什叶派社区-为例进行研究。该项目结合了阿拉伯语、波斯语和英语来源的定性内容分析、关键线人访谈，并使用了宗教研究、宗教社会学、哲学、神学和伊斯兰法理学的工具包。通过突出环境意识的宗教和伦理方面，NEECOST的调查结果可以帮助绿色外交作为变革性外交政策的一部分。两份期刊出版物、两个开放获取的主题数据库、研讨会参与、通过讲座接触非学术受众以及在YouTube上制作在线内容都是可交付成果的一部分。我的专业知识将在埃克塞特大学什叶派法律方面的领先专家罗伯特·格里夫教授的指导下通过研究培训来发展-埃克塞特大学是全球著名的气候变化跨学科研究机构-以及在IAIS内，伊斯兰思想史和当代伦理挑战的交集长期以来一直是研究的中心焦点。

NEECOST aims to make a major contribution to ongoing research into religio-ethical responses to the ecological crisis. It explores the hitherto unexplored topic of how Shiite Muslim thinkers have reacted to the ecological crisis from the late 20th century to the present day, and how this can and is being applied to business and corporate ethics.The three main goals of NEECOST are: 1.) to examine the modalities of nature and the environment in modern Shiite Qur'an commentaries, philosophical treaties, jurisprudence, and treaties of environmental theology; 2.) to investigate the potential benefits of integrating religious and environmental knowledge for society, politics, and the economy; 3.) to explore the extent to which Shiites living in Europe may identify with the environmental aims of the European social and political agenda, taking Great Britain - home to Europe's largest Shiite community - as a case study.The project combines qualitative content analysis of sources in Arabic, Farsi, and English, key informant interviews, and employs the toolset of religious studies, the sociology of religion, philosophy, theology, and Islamic jurisprudence.By highlighting the religious and ethical aspects of environmental consciousness, the findings of NEECOST can assist the efforts and strategies of green diplomacy as part of a transformative foreign policy. Two journal publications, two open access thematic databases, workshop participation, outreach to non-academic audiences through lectures, and production of online content on YouTube are all part of the deliverables.My expertise will be developed by training-through-research under the supervision of Professor Robert Gleave, a leading expert in Shiite law at the University of Exeter a globally renowned institution of interdisciplinary research on climate change - and within the IAIS, where the intersection of Islamic intellectual history and contemporary ethical challenges have long been a central focus of research.
