Global Power\, Pluralism and the Common Good: Critical Perspectives from Religious NGO's and the UN</p>\n<p>18.15 &nbsp\;&nbsp\;Closing remarks
Prof. Jeff Haynes (CSRCC) &amp\; Dr. Kelvin Knight (CASEP)
London Metropolitan University</p>\n&nbsp\;\n\n<p>The controversial topic of religion\, secularism and the common good is the focus of an international conference to be held in the heart of London\, bringing together moral philosophers\, political theorists\, policy-makers\, theologians and others to debate the idea and pursuit of the common good. Whereas secularization was once presumed to progressively marginalize faith\, religious actors now refuse political marginalisation. The conference will ask how\, why and to what purpose religious traditions and organisations promote political ideals. Perhaps they do so because they believe that modern individualism is contrary to the true common good\, or because they believe it important to promote the modern idea of a common good of rights-bearing citizens. Perhaps it is because they believe that the idea of the common good is crucial to the defence of social welfare or even of society itself\, or because they believe that a common good can now only be pursued within particular communities. The controversial and topical nature of the subject should stimulate new academic and policy thinking\, in the UK and elsewhere.</p>\n<p>The two-day conference will explore the following issues:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>What <em>is</em> the common good?</li>\n<li>What have philosophers\, such as Aquinas\, Rousseau or Rawls\, contributed to our understanding of the common good or of the public interest?</li>\n<li>What should be learned about the common good from Catholic\, Protestant\, Judaic or Islamic traditions?</li>\n<li>Does the very fact of religious pluralism entail that religion is now more an obstacle than an impetus to the common good?</li>\n<li>Does modern politics promote a civil substitute for traditional religion?</li>\n<li>How might particular communities or subsidiary institutions contribute to a wider common good?</li>\n<li>How are disputes about the common good best resolved?</li>\n<li>What are the prospects &mdash\; in local communities\, in the British state\, and elsewhere &mdash\; of actualizing the common good?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The conference is organized jointly by the Centre for the Study of Religion\, Conflict and Cooperation and by CASEP\, the Centre for Contemporary Aristotelian Studies in Ethics and Politics. It will be held in London Metropolitan University's Faculty of Law\, Governance and International Relations at 16 Goulston Street\, London\, E1 7TP.</p>\n<p>Our online booking page is now open.
