SUMMARY:Symposium on "The Light that Binds: A Study in Thomas Aquinas's Metaphysics of Natural Law"
DESCRIPTION:A symposium on The Light that Binds: A Study in Thomas Aquinas’s Metaphysics of Natural Law by Fr. Stephen L. Brock (Wipf and Stock\, 2020). \nFree and open to the public. Registration is required. Cosponsored by Wipf and Stock Publishers\, the Department of History at the University of Chicago\, and the Seminary Co-op Bookstore.  Contact us with any questions. \nABOUT THE BOOK \nIf there is any one author in the history of moral thought who has come to be associated with the idea of natural law\, it is Saint Thomas Aquinas. Many things have been written about Aquinas’s natural law teaching\, and from many different perspectives. The aim of this book is to help see it from his own perspective. That is why the focus is metaphysical. Aquinas’s whole moral doctrine is laden with metaphysics\, and his natural law teaching especially so\, because it is all about first principles. The book centers on how Aquinas thinks the first principles of practical reason\, which for him are what make up natural law\, function as laws. It is a controversial question\, and the book engages a variety of readers of Aquinas\, including Francisco Suarez\, Jacques Maritain\, prominent analytical philosophers\, Straussians\, and the initiators of the New Natural Law theory. Among the issues addressed are the relation between natural law and natural inclination\, how far natural law depends on knowledge of human nature\, what its obligatory force consists in\, and\, above all\, how it is related to what for Aquinas is the first principle of all being\, the divine will. \nYou can purchase the book from our partners at the Seminary Co-op Bookstore. \n\n\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. \n\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.
