Extract<\/strong>
The strength of the nondualistic-approach is that it will contribute to \u201cmeaningful dialogue about the role of the conscience\u201d which depends on \u201cshared definitions of the relevant terms\u201d (Lawrence and Curlin 2007, 10). This approach of \u201cshared definitions\u201d can also be termed commensurability\u2014 when two people who hold incommensurable values can create common ground when one or both changes their values, empathize or agree to disagree and work towards a common goal (Glenn 2003). . . The alternative to seeking commensurability is the enforcement of a law, which is a solution that does not always resolve the underlying issues. The legal system devotes many resources to the resolving of problems, but the result is often \u201cwinner-take-all\u201d\u2014without regard to the long-term consequences and impact on the relationship of the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
