Webinar Description:
Peter Brown will present and discuss his findings from his research which uses the Earth Charter as a framework for rethinking economics, finance, governance, law, and ethics. It argues that all five Western versions of these frameworks rest on assumptions that came to the forefront during the Enlightenment period; and that these assumptions have been undercut by scientific discoveries in the last two centuries, especially in the second half of the 20th century. As a result, they can be regarded as scientific and metaphysical orphans—for their parents have died but they have not. Attempts to formulate a “green economy” and related ideas that are neither deep nor wide enough to fashion an exit from the current steep decline in life’s prospects, since they neither question nor provide alternative assumptions.
Peter Brown is a Professor at the Department of Geography at McGill University in Canada. He is carrying out his research with the Capital Institute.
