SUMMARY:Integrity\, Creation\, and a Restless Heart: Augustine's Contribution to Philosophy - Faith and Reason | West Suburban Catholic Culture Series
DESCRIPTION:The West Suburban Catholic Culture Series returns in 2024 to continue its series on\n“Faith and Reason as the Two Wings:\nThe History and Enduring Importance of Catholic Philosophy“\nREGISTER HERE\n(Business casual attire encouraged. For questions\, please email Marial Corona at mcorona@lumenchristi.org). \nSchedule: 6:30 p.m. Drinks | 7:00 p.m. Dinner\, Lecture\, & Q&A | 8:30 p.m. End \nNovember 9:\nIntegrity\, Creation\, and a Restless Heart: Augustine’s Contribution to Philosophy\nJared Ortiz (Professor of Theology\, Founder and Executive Director of the St. Benedict Institute\, Hope College)\nChristianity integrates wisdom and worship\, something no philosophy can do. Augustine understood this well and changed the parameters of philosophy by insisting that Christ was the true Wisdom philosophers were seeking. Further\, he showed how the world has not always existed but was made by a transcendent God\, who is our ultimate fulfillment. \nIn this lecture\, Prof. Ortiz will argue that the end of the person’s natural search for happiness is deification\, which only happens in Christ and through the Church. \nSERIES DESCRIPTION \nIn his 2006 Regensburg Address\, Pope Benedict XVI argued that “it is necessary and reasonable to raise the question of God through the use of reason\, and to do so in the context of the tradition of the Christian Faith.” \nChristianity shared a sense of “reason” with Greek philosophy. Jesus himself was the Word (Logos)\, the Greek word for reason and speech.  St. Paul himself reminded us that Christian worship is “reasonable worship” (logike latreia) (Rom. 12:1)\, and while love “transcends” knowledge and can perceive more than thought alone\, it remains the love of the God who is Logos (Eph. 3:19). \nFaith and reason support one another; however\, many have tried to tear them asunder. The Reformation tried to get to a “pure” faith without reason; modern atheism has claimed that nothing can be “known” about God. When faith and reason are pulled apart\, we lose sight of God and of ourselves\, since we are made to know and love God. \nIn this year’s WSCCS\, we will challenge the all-too-common assumption that the Church’s faith stands in opposition to reason. Join us as we examine the philosophical\, monastic\, and artistic geniuses who have borne the Church aloft through their engagement and enrichment of worldly wisdom. \nEach month\, we will gather at Ruth Lake Country Club. Over dinner\, we will listen to a sophisticated yet accessible lecture offered by accomplished academics. The lectures will introduce insights from the treasure house of the Church’s intellectual tradition and their bearing on contemporary themes and issues\, presenting faithful Catholic teaching in a way that avoids the acrimony of the culture wars. \nCALENDAR \nSeptember 13: Golden Calf: Philosophy and Theology in the Early Church\nKenneth Calvert (Professor of History\, Director of the Oxford Program\, Hillsdale College) \nOctober 4: The One Thing Necessary: Monasticism and Philosophy\nPrior Peter Funk\, OSB (Monastery of the Holy Cross) \nNovember 9: Integrity\, Creation\, and a Restless Heart: Augustine’s Contribution to Philosophy\nJared Ortiz (Professor of Theology\, Founder and Executive Director of the St. Benedict Institute\, Hope College) \nMarch 20: Catholic Women in the Arts and Sciences: An Underappreciated Tradition\nBronwen McShea (Professor of History\, Augustine Institute) \nApril 10: Is Free Will an Illusion? St. Thomas Aquinas and Human Action\nFr. Stephen Brock (Professor of Medieval Philosophy\, Pontifical University of the Holy Cross) \nMay 15: The Bond of All Creation: Renaissance Humanism and the Incarnate Word\nMatthew Gaetano (Professor of History\, Hillsdale College) \nNOVEMBER SPEAKER \nJared Ortiz
