The public square is a contested space. It is a place where people from all walks of life come together to discuss and debate the issues that affect them. In recent years, the public square has become increasingly polarized, with people on both sides of the aisle becoming more entrenched in their views. This polarization has made it difficult to have productive conversations about complex issues, such as abortion, euthanasia, and stem cell research.

One of the reasons for this polarization is the increasing diversity of worldviews in our society. Worldviews are the fundamental beliefs that people hold about the world and their place in it. They shape our values, our priorities, and our decisions. In a diverse society, there are a wide range of worldviews, and this can lead to conflict when people with different worldviews try to engage in dialogue.

The book From Worldviews to the Public Square: Routledge Annals of Bioethics 13 explores the complex relationship between worldviews and the public square. This volume brings together leading scholars from a variety of disciplines to examine how worldviews shape public discourse and policy on a wide range of issues. The book provides a much-needed forum for discussing the role of worldviews in our society and offers insights into how we can better engage with people who hold different views.
