Ecologies of Human Flourishing

Abstract:

In 2009–2010, in conjunction with the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, the Harvard University Center for the Environment, and the Initiative on Religion in International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School, the Center for the Study of World Religions at the Harvard Divinity School presented a series of programs to explore several dimensions of an ecology of human flourishing—economic, sociological, religious, ethical, environmental, historical, literary; how notions of human flourishing, quality of life, and common good have been constructed; and in the contemporary world, how they are illuminated or are challenged by issues of distributive justice, poverty and economic inequality, global health, and environmental sustainability.
