Abstract The European Enlightenment fostered a sense of progress through a delineation of universal human rights as well as through a reductionist mathematization of nature. Science, technology and religion became a form of cultural currency between Europe and Imperial China. The Jesuits bartered mathematics, geographic surveys and military technology to win religious permissions with Chinese emperors. Other Europeans were convinced ancient Chinese texts corresponded to the Old Testament. China sent to Europe a Confucian model of a social ethic that demonstrated non-Christian civic virtues. This article examines this exchange using the intercourse in science, technology and religion as the metric.

This paper aims to explore the social-ethics dimension and the psychosocial support for persons with disabilities, as well as health and social care practitioners during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond regarding quarantine conditions currently ravaging the world. The COVID-19 outbreak has motivated the enactment of public health control procedures, particularly quarantines. The impacts of quarantines during this COVID-19 outbreak period and the interventions to relieve the strain are discussed through a descriptive analysis pattern and linked with social ethic and psychosocial support for behavioural health and social work practices. The role of the social-ethic perspective is that it is geared towards reducing the psychosocial impacts of the COVID-19 quarantine for persons with disabilities and for disability care. This paper outlines psychosocial uneasiness, including distress and stressors, as a result of the hazards and anxiety sensitivities, as well as the immense concern for persons with disabilities and their care practitioners during quarantine and beyond. This paper offers new insights on the COVID-19 virus and the quarantine measures that were missed, which could have averted its spread globally; quarantine or lockdown has a secondary effect in lessening the capacity of the virus's transmission and decreases the likelihood of people contracting, and thus infecting others. This paper suggests recommendations for persons with disabilities in quarantine and their families and the management of perceptions of public health risks, threats, and issues about health and social care workers becoming "covitors” (meaning COVID-19 survivors) now and post-COVID-19.

This paper explores the issue of correlation between the Law and the Gospel in the controversy of Polish brethren on social-ethical topics. The debating sides built their argumentation on varying understanding of the Holy Scripture texts in the forming of moral codex of “the proper Christians”. The radical side was determined that the proper Christian cannot be a part of peccable social order, based on the violent standards of Old Testament’s Law (Dekalog). The other, conservative one, believed that the Old Testament’s Law was not canceled by the Gospel, but was conversely fulfilled and explained by the Christ. Therefore, the proper Christian does have place in the actual social life, and also can be a magistrate, judge or soldier. The polemic between Polish brethren is based on intellectual heritage of West-European Reformation. It was inspired by the reception of anabaptism and its theological doctrine of non-resistance and “isolation from evil”. The religious arguments of the sides may be considered as a repercussion of antinomian controversy (at one time initiated by German reformers Ph. Melanchthon and J. Agricola).

This paper aims to describe the derivative of the explanation of Surat al-Nur in the form of social ethics in establishing interactions in the community. The method used is descriptive analysis of the pattern of asking for permission in Surat al-Nur. The finding in this paper is that the ethics of asking for permission is a form of respect and protection of one's privacy rights as a servant of Allah, which must be guarded. This social ethic is personal and communal in the midst of advances in knowledge and habits that are distorted by outside civilizations.

The book of Isaiah is really interesting to explore. Many conflicts occurred there, both in relation to God and with other nations. In this study, spiritual, social-ethic and political background will be scrutinized to assist to understand Isaiah chapter 62 comprehensively. Spiritual life of God’s people is declined in the book of Isaiah because of idolatries and nations. Hebrew people make idols out of trees and worship pagan wooden idols (40:18-20; 44:9-20). Not only will God give to His redeemed Zion all that is necessary but in addition, He will appoint watchmen upon her walls that she may receive the utmost in protection. It is clear Isaiah is not exclusively interested in the interpersonal and social relationship structures within Israel. He is also concerned with the broader canvas of international politics. During Isaiah ministry, it was a time of great political turmoil for the nation of Judah because facing the opposition that coming from the north and east.

This chapter explores the lives of working-class and poor white women of the border South. Their story reveals the potential of border culture—how it gave a voice and agency to women whose stories could be more easily suppressed in a less fluid community. The border created fertile ground for ideas of mutuality and individualism. While this led many to pursue friendship, love, and partnership in their relationships, elite and middle-class husbands and wives of the border South still often adhered to a social ethic which dictated certain gendered behaviors to men and women. In working-class society, however, these philosophies gave women a greater sense of independence and authority, allowing them to push the boundaries of the household and assert themselves in new ways.

In this study, spiritual, social-ethic and political background will be scrutinized to assist to understand Isaiah chapter 62 comprehensively. Spiritual life of God’s people is declined in the book of Isaiah because of idolatries and nations. Hebrew people make idols out of trees and worship pagan wooden idols (40:18-20; 44:9-20). Isaiah employs prophetic images for the covenant-breaking idolatry and worship of other gods by adultery and illicit sexual intercourse. It is clear that Isaiah is not exclusively interested in the interpersonal and social relationship structures within Israel. He is also concerned with the broader canvas of international politics.
