SUMMARY:The Future of Liberalism: Relativism Confronts St. Augustine
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Cosponsored by the Theology Club at the Divinity School. \nThe future of political liberalism is a topic much discussed in recent scholarly books and popular journals. This lecture will integrate the recent argument of Patrick Deneen in Why Liberalism Failed\, beginning where the book leaves off by addressing the following question: If it is true\, as many have argued\, that liberalism has become morally corroded\, then can reasonable people still make a case for our continued cooperation with it? Discussing thinkers like Richard Rorty and John Rawls\, this lecture will critically examine efforts to ground contemporary liberalism in relativist views of goodness and truth. These views will be brought into dialogue with St Augustine’s reflections on Rome. It will thereby develop a perspective on how Catholics should coexist with liberalism\, which retains value as a political framework. \nProfessor Fields also led a master class seminar on “Karl Rahner’s Distinctive Theology of the Symbol” on Saturday\, April 21. \nTo view photos of the lecture\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nYou can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music.
