Capitalism, the self and the common good
October 16, 2020 @ 1.00 pm - 1.45 pm
This presentation examines how the common good and the self are reduced and misunderstood in modern capitalism
In this webinar, Kleio will cover how capitalism arose, its roots in economic history terms and its impact in economic, social and political organisation.
She will explore the deeper causes and origins of capitalism in modern philosophical thinking and examine how it relates to the concept of the ‘common good’ which puts human flourishing at the core.
This webinar is supported by a practical case study to enable understanding, as well as conversational learning and opportunity for individual and group reflection.
