SUMMARY:Conscience and Human Rights in Thomas Aquinas and Some Predecessors
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Registration is required. Contact us with any questions. Note the time for this event has been changed from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. \nIn discussions of the history of the philosophy of human rights\, typically a distinction is made between theories that understand rights as objective and those that understand them as subjective (or\, to use a more contemporary term\, more “personalistic”).  This talk relates this issue to the history of reflection\, especially by Christian thinkers leading up to the thirteenth century\, regarding conscience.  It argues ultimately that Thomas Aquinas’s understanding of conscience\, influenced as it is by Aristotle\, entails an understanding of human rights that is primarily objective.  It concludes with a few remarks about the advantages of such an understanding. \n\nThis convening is open to all invitees regardless of vaccination status and\, because of ongoing health risks\, particularly to the unvaccinated\, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing\, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19\, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.\nIf you are not currently affiliated with the University (enrolled student\, faculty\, or staff) it is expected that you review the University’s COVID mitigation efforts. The University expects every event attendee to adopt precautions designed to mitigate the risk of viral transmission.\nIf you have any questions\, please contact us.
