About the Talk  - Powerpoint slides
 Daoism and Environmental Philosophy: Nourishing Life (Register here)The early Daoist text the Daodejing is popularly and anachronistically thought to speak in direct ways to ecology and the environment. Such prevalent ways of reading the text persist even as they are frequently criticized in the Sinological and Daoist scholarly community. While the Daodejing was composed across different historical contexts with diverse purposes in mind, the text continues to speak to questions of how to individually and socially live and interact with human and inhuman life and the natural world.In discussing my new book Daoism and Environmental Philosophy: Nourishing Life, I reexamine the extent to which the Daodejing and other early Daoist texts can be suggestive for addressing the contemporary environmental crisis. I consider whether and how early Daoist conceptions and practices of emptying (xu 虛), stilling (jing 靜), and making plain (su 素), responsive attunement (wuwei 無為), and nourishing life (yangsheng 養生 ) can be interpreted and reimagined in critical ecological models that indicate different more nurturing ways of dwelling and becoming with our environment and the myriad things (wanwu 萬物), in their own respective tendencies and ways of becoming (ziran 自然). Notes: (i)HLTH 1010 - HKUST students may attain 1.5 hours credit for the Healthy Lifestyle Course after attending the talk. (ii)This event will be recorded using video and photography. About the SpeakerEric S.

About the TalkFor many years consumption has driven the engine of global capitalism. In the recent financial crisis, we continue to see the Wests leading economists and policy makers urging Asia to consume more to help save the global economy. This view, shaped by conventional wisdom, refuses to acknowledge both the undesirable effects of consumption and the limits to growth.In Consumptionomics: Asias role in reshaping capitalism and saving the planet, Chandran Nair, argues that this conventional view needs to be replaced by a more rational approach to such challenges, and offers ideas as to possible solutionsConsumptionomics: Asiass role in reshaping capitalism & saving the planet [streaming video]

This event was held in conjunction with HKUSTs 2010 Environment Week.About the BookThe Great Disconnect / by Bill Barron 
(Multiple locations HD75.6 .B3627 2009)The world economy has grown to the limits of what our planet can sustain. Climate change is the most talked about, but we are also reaching limits of water, crop land, and marine fisheries. The biosphere is too stretched; the system cannot continue as it has for the past several decades."Moving to a more sustainable development path will require making truly basic changes in what, how, and how much is produced and consumed. That, in turn, will require nothing less than restructuring the economy, a make over of consumer lifestyles, and re-examining values."In this work, Dr. Barron raises important questions. Asking these questions is the only way we can ever hope to reach possible answers. Questions like:What is the difference between economic growth and economic development?Can continuing technological advances allow indefinite economic growth?Can market mechanisms substitute for limited natural resources?Once our basic material needs are met, what is the "good life"?
