SUMMARY:A History of the Impossible: Carlos Eire on They Flew
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER BELOW \n5:30 Lecture | 6:20 Response | 6:45 Audience Q & A | 7:00 End \nThis event is open to the public\, registration is required\, please contact William Hurley at whurley@lumenchristi.org for any questions. \n \nThis event is co-sponsored by the University of Chicago Divinity School and the Workshop on the Early Modern World. \nLevitation. Bilocation. Witchcraft. Demonic Possession. \nEurope in the early modern era was simultaneously the site of Kepler\, Newton\, Copernicus–and of eyewitness accounts of levitating saints and nocturnal witches’ sabbats. \nIn his history of the impossible\, award-winning historian Carlos Eire mines the firsthand accounts and archival evidence of the miraculous and demonic.  How did an increasingly skeptical and scientific culture account for events deemed impossible by its leading intellectuals? What does this say about the supposed boundaries between the natural and supernatural that marked the transition to modernity? \nIn this lecture\, Carlos Eire will explore the major themes of They Flew and ask: what makes something impossible? And is there more to reality than meets the eye? \nUniversity of Chicago Divinity School professor Kirsten Macfarlane will offer a response and engage Eire in a conversation about They Flew. Audience Q&A will follow. \n  \nThis project is made possible through the support of In Lumine Tuo: Expanding and Sustaining the Catholic Intellectual Tradition Nationwide (grant #63614) from the John Templeton Foundation and the generous support of our donors. \n
