Intellectual Samaritanism: Embracing the Stranger and His Strange Ideas on College Campuses

This event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. Reception will follow.

This lecture is cosponsored by the In Lumine Network. It is made possible through the support of ‘In Lumine: Supporting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide’ (Grant #62372) from the John Templeton Foundation.

What moral and intellectual obligations do we have as scholars when encountering unfamiliar, strange or “other” ideas?  It is a fraught idea on many college campuses right now. This lecture will unpack resources from the Catholic intellectual tradition that can help us navigate these issues, in particular developing a theory of what it means to be an intellectual Good Samaritan and applying it to the roads we traverse on modern university campuses.
