• W619872996 abstract "[Want] cannot be wholly dispelled, for it sits there with its mouth open, making incessant demands, and even if it is gorged with riches, it must still remain there, waiting to be satisfied...nature demands very little, whereas greed is never satisfied. So, if riches cannot dispel want, and if indeed they create their own need, why should you men imagined that they provide sufficiency? (Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy) (1) Prologue Positive resistance to structural greed is imperative not simply due to its debilitating effects impacting on our livelihoods on a day to day basis, but also because it impinges upon our way of being in this world as Muslims and Christians. A recognition that the economy is simply a means to higher ends--such as happiness, belonging and security--should make us realize that merely changing the means, for instance by substituting one form of livelihood or economic system with another, does not constitute meaningful change and genuine progress. The fact that the sheer multiplicity of our means has clouded our vision about the proper ends signals how our very way of seeing the world around us has been co-opted to serve these means at the expense of ends. This is exemplified by the social legitimatization of vices such as greed and pride (rationalized as growth and development), through the exaltation of individuals and corporations that embody such traits or through our witting and unwitting involvement in an economic system that profits from and runs on these very traits. The destruction of true knowledge has robbed us of our ability to discern between what is good and what is bad, and even if we do, we seem to have no power to act according to our discernment. It is therefore highly important to begin by recognizing our complicity in the system and to realize that change needs to be enacted on two distinct yet overlapping planes: first, with respect to how we perceive the world around us and our part and role in it; and second, with respect to how we identify those aspects of the world that we wish to transform for the better. Changing the latter (i.e., pure activism) without the prerequisite change in the former (perceptive reorientation) will only spell ruin, because our action will then not be guided by right knowledge and a clear purpose. A new (or, perhaps, renewed) purpose brings with it new concerns to attend to, new measures by which our efforts may be charted and evaluated, and a renewal of traditional wisdom and insight to guide our way. In the wake of the ongoing destruction and desolation all around us, transformation or renewal must mean working towards the restoration of the wellbeing of nature and culture that was lost. Introduction An interfaith dialogue on the topic of Engaging Structural Greed Today was held from the 25th to 30th September 2011 at the Sabah Theological Seminar (STS), Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. It was jointly organized by STS and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), which saw the participation of faith leaders, economists, grass roots activists, bankers, businessmen, lecturers, intellectuals and students representing both Islam and Christianity. They hailed from various countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Bangladesh, Kenya, Peru, Canada, Germany, United States of America, India, Switzerland, Italy and the United Kingdom. The format of the dialogue consisted mainly of oral presentations followed by intensive discussions between speakers and participants, supplemented by small working groups (namely, the drafting/steering team, the listener group and the practitioner group). The presentations were spread over two days, interspersed with plenary and group dialogues, and organized under several themes: (2) Day/Date Session Number and Title Presenters Monday, Session 1 - Seeking Dr. Chandra Muzaffar, 26th Theological Frameworks: (Malaysia) September Muslim-Christian Dr. …" @default.
