RT Article T1 Het Suid-Afrika "n gemeenskaplike morele taal nodig? JF Hervormde teologiese studies VO 51 IS 1 SP 65 OP 84 A1 Smit, Dirk J. 1951- LA English YR 1995 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1946123781 AB Does South Africa need a common moral language? Many people are of the opinion that South Africa finds itself 'after Babel’ and needs a common moral language (1). The author considers some of the arguments of people who disagree with this analysis, because they do not define the problem in this way (2); because they find the language- or Babel-methaphor confusing (3); because they agree with the description of the problem, but not with the suggested solution, namely a common moral language (4); or because they accept the solution, but do not regard it as the proper task of the Christian church to be involved in this search for a common moral language (5).
