Belief, Parrhesia and Practice

Abstract

When the workshop that became this book1 was first proposed, it was nicknamed ‘organization and belief’, with the assumption that trust, belief and conviction were necessary for organization to be able to exist, persist and/or prevail. The authors, I think, ended up focusing on the convictions that do or do not underpin how self relates to other, and therein what this means for self. As the book has developed, it has become focused on how belief in our times makes contact, relationship and/or awareness of self with other possible. The grounds to acknowledge the nature of relatedness and the possibility of doing justice to self and other have all been explored here. What belief do we need in ourselves, in others, and/or in existence to be able to relate to self and other? Is understanding, belonging and/or unity possible, between me and you, self and other, consciousness and existence, humanity and cosmos? And if we are disjointed, separate and alienated, can we repair the damage, overcome the dilemma(s), and/or improve our state of being?
