Summer Guest Call | Radboud Reflects and Socires, Laudato Sio-Institute, Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religion Sciences.
The language is English.
What do social justice and climate have to do with each other? Theologian Carmody Grey connects her love for nature, philosophy from Asia and Catholic faith, using music and image fragments, ecology. Come and listen to Carmody Grey telling us why the ecological crisis is about relationships and connection.
The science of relationships
According to Carmody Grey, we have to understand reality from the idea that everything exists exclusively through and within relationships. There are no isolated entities; There are only networks of relationships. According to the social doctrine of the Catholic Church, we all exist thanks to three interlinked relationships: with each other, with nature and with the divine. Ecology is therefore the science of relationships.
Reconnect Things
Pope Leo and many others, according to Grey, call us to a profound cultural, intellectual and social revolution. To tackle the ecological crisis, we need a new framework for thinking. We must take a step back to recognize the shortcomings of our civilization: Endless consumption, self-direction and a lack of respect for our limits and our connection to the earth. We have to ask ourselves how we as humans can become more mature, more grounded and more complete individuals.
A meaningful life
During the evening Carmody Grey links issues surrounding the ecological crisis to personal experiences and inspiration. In conversation with programmer Liesbeth Jansen, she explores how to think in a new way about what a meaningful life is.
