The Fundamental Questions seminar is the Lumen Christi Institute’s flagship undergraduate program. This three-session seminar meets over dinner to read a great text together and discuss questions of existential importance. Participants will be provided a copy of the text and will be eligible for consideration as Nicklin Fellows.

This fall, Eric DeVilliers (LCI Postdoctoral Scholar) and Yousef Casewit (Chair of Islamic Studies, University of Chicago Divinity School) will lead students through The Ancient City, Numa Fustel de Coulange’s dramatic re-consideration of the ancient world.

Join us as we read selections of The Ancient City and discuss Fustel’s theses about the beginnings of religion, the birth of political life, and the nature of human society.
