Summary
Richard Evanoff’s chapter examines aspects that are key for most of the approaches mentioned above. Intercultural ethics is here defined as the process by which people from different cultures negotiate the norms that will govern relations between them at a variety of levels, including the interpersonal, intergroup and international. The chapter then discusses descriptive, normative and meta-ethical directions as three main methodological approaches to intercultural ethics, and it concludes by considering how intercultural dialogue on ethics might be conducted. In particular, Evanoff suggests that it may be possible for people from different cultures to co-create ethical norms on the basis of ‘third cultures’.
