MercatorNet

MercatorNet is an online magazine, founded in 2005. This is what we stand for: reframing ethical and policy debates in terms of human dignity, not dollars and cents or political calculation. We place the person at the centre of media debates about popular culture, the family, sexuality, bioethics, religion and law. MercatorNet isn't liberal. It isn... 't conservative. We don't want to be trapped on one or the other side of the culture wars. If you want a label, try "dignitarian". We oppose moral relativism, scientism, crass commercialism, utilitarianism, and materialism -- in short, any ism which reduces persons to ciphers and treats them as soulless machines. We delight in dissecting media cliches. We respond with logic and evidence.Read More
