Beyond Capitalism? Critical Debates from Philosophy and Economics

Sat. Dec 3, 2022 10:45 AM - 12:25 PM F206 (Build. F)

Chair:Ammar Khashan(Ritsumeikan University)

The rapid development of capitalism in the last few decades, supported by massive technological innovations, has brought serious questioning of the viability of capitalism as a system to ensure economic security and prosperity, and subsequent human happiness. The economic capabilities of capitalism have turned out to be a menace against humanity for the have-nots. This session brings two papers from philosophical studies and two papers from Islamic economics studies, to examine the plight of modern human society. Dr. Matsui argues for the philosophy based on “common sense” as advocated by the Japanese philosophers. Dr. Wirtz examines the concept of “common sense” by Tasaka Jun and presents its relevance. Dr. Khashan argues for the rise of Islamic welfare as a counter-proposal against the neoliberalist policies in Muslim countries. Dr. Kirihara sheds light on the phenomena of Halal food in Muslim societies focusing on Malaysian initiatives.
