Reflection determines the prerequisites and consequences of the future teachers’ spiritual worldview. Therefore, this paper is devoted to studying factors that play an important role in future teachers’ spiritual worldview formation. The knowledge factors influencing the formation of a spiritual worldview allow us to elicit the most effective ways and means to shape future teachers’ professional self-awareness. It is necessary to define factors that affect the process of shaping future teachers’ spiritual worldview. Christian ethics of recognition and responsibility resonates with this approach, yet emphasizes the distinctiveness of human interactions and the demands of moral responsibility. Finally, the ethics of recognition and responsibility, which emerges from the Frankfurt School critical theory, is confronted with exemplary indigenous approaches focusing on mutual responsibility as the foundation of ecological ethics. Both exegesis and ethics profit from this interdisciplinary and correlative approach between philosophical and biblical ethics. The founding narrative of biblical ethics, the Cain and Abel narrative in Gen 4, is interpreted as a dialectic of recognition and responsibility. This normative analysis is then correlated to the hermeneutical, narrative ethics of Christian ethics. While recognition coincides with responsivity and attentiveness in the encounter of self and other, responsibility adds to this the moral accountability for acts, practices, structures, and institutions, rendering recognition and responsibility interrelated but also distinct principles of morality. The first part provides a systematic analysis of the conceptual elements of recognition, emphasizing the need to focus on misrecognition as a heuristic tool and ethical priority. This essay seeks to fill the gap and develop normative ethics of recognition and responsibility. While the concept of responsibility is a cornerstone of Christian ethics, recognition theory still lacks a thorough theological–ethical analysis.
