This book brings development theory and practice into dialogue with
a religious tradition in order to construct a new,
transdisciplinary vision of development with integral ecology at
its heart. It focuses on the Catholic social tradition and its
conception of integral human development, on the one hand, and on
the works of economist and philosopher Amartya Sen which underpin
the human development approach, on the other. The book discusses
how these two perspectives can mutually enrich each other around
three areas: their views on the concept and meaning of development
and progress; their understanding of what it is to be human - that
is, their anthropological vision; and their analysis of
transformational pathways for addressing social and environmental
degradation. It also examines how both human development and the
Catholic social tradition can function as complementary analytical
lenses and mobilizing frames for embarking on the journey of
structural and personal transformation to bring all life systems,
human and non-human, back into balance. This book is written for
researchers and students in development studies, theology, and
religious studies, as well as professional audiences in development
organizations.
