SUMMARY:“The Theologico-Political Problem Today”
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the History of Christianity Club \nFor three hundred years the modern nation-state appeared to determine the relationship between politics and religion. Indeed\, the modern state was devised to solve this troubled relation. This is no longer the case. The present weakness of nations in discerning matters religious and theological\, along with its cool disinterest in religion\, presents a particular crisis for the Church. This lecture will consider the history of the theologico-political problem and address the condition of three essential institutions: marriage\, polity and church.

SUMMARY:“The Capacious Mind of St. Thomas”
DESCRIPTION:Co-Sponsored by the Medieval Studies Workshop \nThe thought of Thomas Aquinas\, especially as it bears upon human action\, leads one to make difficult choices. Aquinas insists that a lie even to save the life of another is always a sin. He also insists that one ought not ever by means of a direct act to take the life an innocent human being. Understanding Thomas’s capacious mind” and the nature of the acts in question held us to understand why we should follow him in these matters.

SUMMARY:Master Class on St. Francis of Assisi: “How to Write a Biography of a Medieval Saint”
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Medieval Studies Workshop \nIn his new book\, Francis of Assisi: A New Biography\, Augustine Thompson\, O.P.\, sifts through the surviving evidence for the life of Francis using modern historical methods. The Francis who emerges here is both more complex and more conflicted than that of older biographies. This one-day master class will consider whether the historical Francis can be recovered from countless modern and medieval appropriations and compare Fr. Thompson’s biography on Francis’s early life with a variety of biographical sources. \nAmong the most beloved saints in the Catholic tradition\, Francis of Assisi (c. 1181-1226) is popularly remembered for his dedication to poverty\, his love of animals and nature\, and his desire to follow perfectly the teachings and example of Christ. During his lifetime and after his death\, followers collected\, for their own purposes\, numerous stories\, anecdotes\, and reports about Francis. As a result\, the man himself and his own concerns became lost in legend. \nParticipants are also encouraged to attend the symposium on Francis of Assisi: A New Biography (Wednesday\, January 23 at 4:30PM) and lecture on Francis of Assisi: Lost between Myth and History (Thursday\, January 24 at 7:ooPM ) by Fr. Thompson\, both of which will take place in Swift Hall\, 3rd Floor Lecture Hall\, 1025 East 58th Street. \nReading List: \n\n“The Franciscan Question” (pp. 153-70)\n“Chapter 1: When I was in my sins\, 1181-1205” (pp. 3-18)\n“Sources and Debate on Chapter 1” (pp. 189-206)

SUMMARY:"Francis of Assisi: Lost Between Myth and History"
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Department of History and the Medieval Studies Workshop \nAmong the most beloved of saints\, Francis of Assisi is celebrated for his dedication to poverty\, his love of nature\, and his desire to follow perfectly the teachings and example of Christ. His followers compiled numerous\, often legendary\, accounts. The man and his own concerns seem lost to view. Fr. Augustine Thompson\, O.P. will speak on the “Quest for the Historical Francis” and attempt to portray beyond the legends the man who was Francis of Assisi.

SUMMARY:Book Symposium on "Francis of Assisi: A New Biography
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Department of History and the Medieval Studies Workshop\nwith\nAugustine Thompson\, O.P.\, Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology\, Berkeley\nKaren Scott\, DePaul University\nLawrence Cunningham\, University of Notre Dame \nIn this authoritative and engaging new biography\, Augustine Thompson\, O.P.\, sifts through the surviving evidence for the life of Francis using modern historical methods. The result is a complex yet sympathetic portrait of the man and the saint. Francis emerges from this account as very much a typical thirteenth-century Italian layman\, but one who\, when faced with unexpected crises in his personal life\, made decisions so radical that they challenge his own society and ours. Unlike the saint of legend\, this Francis never had a unique divine inspiration to provide him with rules for following the teachings of Jesus. Rather\, he spent his life reacting to unexpected challenges\, before which he often found himself unprepared and uncertain. The Francis who emerges here is both more complex and more conflicted than that of older biographies.

SUMMARY:Sacred Study Circle\, Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales
DESCRIPTION:Sacred study is the prayerful and attentive reading of a work with the initial goal of understanding it\, the intermediate goal of reflectively appropriating it\, and the final goal of making its teaching concrete in a life devoted to God. Sacred study is study because it puts ques­tions to the text\, as an apprentice questions the master\, so as to come to grips with the deeper meanings. With these aims we will study St. Francis de Sales’s Introduction to the Devout Life this winter quarter. In this classic work of spirituality the reader is presented with counsels and practices to aid him in deepening his hunger for God while overcoming the obstacles that impede his progress in moral integrity and spiritual wisdom. \nThe Sacred Study Circle will meet weekly\, covering a minimal amount of text each week. Fr. Paul Mankowski\, S.J.\, scholar-in-residence at the Lumen Christi Institute\, will guide participants in a reflective discussion of the text. Each session will meet at Gavin House\, 1220 East 58th Street on Mondays from 4-5PM. While participants are encouraged to attend every session\, this is not required. Copies of the book will be provided. We will be using the 400th Anniversary Edition\, Eremitical Press\, 2009. \nREGISTER HERE\nSchedule \nJanuary 14: Counsels concerning the soul’s first aspiration to the devout life.\n(Pt.1\, Ch.6-22\, pp.26-51) \nJanuary 21: Counsels concerning the soul’s firm resolution to pursue the devout life.\n(Pt.2\, Ch.1-9\, pp.55-66) \nJanuary 28: Counsels concerning the practice of virtue.\n(Pt.3.\, Ch.1-5\, pp.91-106\,119-126) \nFebruary 4: Counsels concerning poverty of spirit amid riches.\n(Pt.3\, Ch.14-16\, 37-38\, pp.127-133\, 175-178) \nFebruary 11: Counsels concerning true and false friendship. (Pt.3\, Ch.17-22\, pp.133-146) \nFebruary 18: Counsels concerning commonly experienced temptations.\n(Pt.4\, Ch.1-10\, 13-14\, pp.191-204\, 209-219) \nFebruary 25: Counsels concerning renewal of the soul in devotion.\n(Pt.5\, Ch.1-6\, 18\, pp.223-230\, 240-241) \nSacred study is intended for university students and faculty.

SUMMARY:“Reason and Wisdom in Medieval Christian Thought\,” Non-Credit Course
DESCRIPTION:Informal Dinner: 6:00PM\nLecture: 6:30PM \nIntended for University students\, faculty\, and recent graduates. Others interested in attending\, contact info@lumenchristi.org. \nWith the recovery of the works of Aristotle in the Latin West\, the development of the scholastic method of reasoning\, and the creation of the universities\, a style of academic philosophy and theology developed in the late medieval period in which the practice of reasoning about Christian revelation was developed independent of spirituality and\, often\, the search for wisdom. Previously\, in the works of the Church Fathers and the great monastic writers\, theology was rooted in a spiritual life uniting prayer and the search for understanding. \nThis course will consider the practice of dialectic reason within philosophy and theology and the potential consequences of scholastic method when loosed from spirituality\, the interior life\, and a life of wisdom. \nPAST SESSIONS: \nTuesday\, January 8:\nShameful Curiosity?

SUMMARY:"Augustine and the Doctrine of Universal Restoration"
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the History of Christianity Club \nThe great theologian Augustine of Hippo (354-430) is known to have condemned the doctrine of universal restoration and salvation (apokatastasis) devised by Origen of Alexandria (255ca.) as heretical. But in his earlier defense of Christian Orthodoxy against Manicheism\, Augustine adhered to this doctrine. This lecture will show how Augustine’s later polemic against the Pelagians and his ignorance of Greek played a significant role in his eventual rejection of Origen’s doctrine.

SUMMARY:A Conversation on Faith and Science\, with Mark Wyman and Minyoung Wyman
DESCRIPTION:This event is intended for college students.\nDinner will be served. \nContemporary culture is built in part on a mythology of the natural sciences. This mythology characterizes Christianity\, particularly Catholicism\, as a reactionary force clinging to a pre-modern worldview that brave men and women have replaced with a modern\, scientific one. Two postdoctoral researchers at the University of Chicago’s theoretical cosmologist and an evolutionary biologist will explain why this myth is false. Each will give a brief account of their own experience as scientists and reflect on the compatibility of faith and modern science. Ample time for questions and discussion will follow.

SUMMARY:"Shakespeare\, Identity\, and Religion"
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by The Nicholson Center for British Studies \nWhether Shakespeare was Catholic has long been a point of speculation. Recent research into the life of Oxford philosopher and double agent William Sterrell has revealed a neglected group of Catholics connected to Shakespeare at and around the courts of Queen Elizabeth and King James. The potential influence of these crypto-Catholics practicing their faith in animo while outwardly complying with the legally enforced state religion offers a new understanding of Shakespeare’s works and audience.

SUMMARY:"Vatican II's Declaration on Religious Liberty\, 50 Years Later"
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by The Department of History and The St. Thomas More Society \nAt the third plenary session of Vatican II\, Fr. John Courtney Murray said that the issue of religious liberty [is] the American issue at the Council. Yet it took the longest to write\, and\, after undergoing thousands of comments and corrections over four years\, it was signed by Pope Paul VI less than twenty-four hours before the Council was adjourned. This lecture will consider\, (1) the reasons for this Declaration on Religious Liberty and the difficulties and debates at the Council\, and (2) how the doctrine of religious liberty has fared a generation later.

SUMMARY:"The Dialogue of Economics and Catholic Social Thought"
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the University of Chicago Ethics Club \nThe presence of two Catholic candidates for vice-president have raised questions about Catholic social thought and American free market economics. In this symposium\, an economist and a theologian consider how the Church’s teaching bears on contemporary economic questions. The questions to be explored will include: What does the Catholic social thought developed by popes from Leo XIII and Pius XI to John Paul II and Benedict XVI say about economic issues? How can economists engage the principles of Catholic Social Thought and reflect on questions such as the just wage\, social solidarity and the market economy? How can economists assist the Church to develop and implement its social teaching?

SUMMARY:"Gregorian Chant as Splendor Formae of the Liturgy"
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Department of Music and the Medieval Studies Workshop \nA principal Medieval definition of beauty is splendor formae\, the manifesting of the very nature or form of a thing. While the liturgy can be described as a great divine action\, it is also comprised of a variety of discrete chants. Being entirely sung\, its Gregorian chants differentiate the character and function of each action and thus express a purposeful variety. This lecture will illustrate the beauty of the liturgy by comparing these chants particularly the gradual and alleluia in relation to the responsories of the Divine Office.

SUMMARY:"What Makes Music Sacred?"
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Department of Music and the Medieval Studies Workshop \nWhile it is easy to recognize traditional forms of sacred music: Gregorian chant\, classical polyphony\, organ music\, choral music\, and vernacular hymns it is difficult to pinpoint what it is that makes music sacred? This lecture will reflect upon the relation of the sacred and the beautiful in the liturgy. It will consider what is meant by sacred\, as distinguished from holy and place those things considered sacred in the context of their reception and intrinsic suitability.

SUMMARY:"The Book of Psalms" Non-Credit Course
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: 7:00PM\nInformal Dinner: 6:30PM \nOctober 16: The Prayer Book of Jesus\nWhat are the psalms and how did they become a psalter? The introductory class will address the nature of Jewish prayer and Hebrew poetry\, lay out the various genres of psalms\, and discuss the compilation of psalms into a book of the Old Testament and a keystone of the Church’s liturgy. Particular attention will be given Psalms 6\, 19\, and 27. \nOctober 23: Songs of Wrath\nGod’s anger and man’s find full-throated expression in the Psalms\, often in ways that shock or bewilder us. In coming to grips with the cursings in the Psalms we come to a deeper understanding of the blessings that are their contraries\, and the nature of the injuries that prompt them. Particular attention will be given Psalms 2\, 49\, 53\, 58\, 109\, and 137. \nOctober 30: Songs of Joy\nThe Psalmist’s capacity for delight exceeded even his capacity for rage. Discussion of various examples of exultation will show how enraptured contemplation of the created order was to be extended into the Church’s sacramental theology.  Particular attention will be given Psalms 16\, 23\, 66\, 92\, 96\, 119\, and 139. \nNovember 6: Songs of Entreaty & Assent \nThe desires of the Psalmist were always present to him\, and entreaty is a constant force in his prayer.  At the same time the psalms take delight in affirming the hand of God in the history of His people.  Particular attention will be given Psalms 22\, 42\, 57\, 106\, and 110. \nNovember 13: Songs of Pain \nLament\, sorrow and remorse are part of every human life\, and consequently part of the prayer offered by every believer.  A discussion of some of the penitential psalms and psalms of lament will examine the moral self-understanding of ancient Israel and way in which it is and is not continued by Christian belief and prayer. Particular attention will be given Psalms 51\, 55\, 69\, 73\, 79\, and 88. \nNovember 20: Songs of Praise\nIt is a striking fact about Israel that it was willing\, even delighted\, to give praise and thanks to God simply for who He is in Himself\, and not only in response for those benefits He had conferred upon His people.  The psalm of praise is the psalm par excellence.  Particular attention will be given Psalms 8\, 65\, 104\, 68\, 84\, 117\, 148\, and 150.

SUMMARY:"The Second Vatican Council and the Church's Engagement with the Modern World"
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the University of Chicago Ethics Club \nAfter decades of ideological upheaval that often placed the Catholic Church in conflict with modernity\, Pope John XXIII convened the Second Vatican Council in part to open a dialogue with modern culture. This lecture will reflect on the theological developments that led to Vatican II’s Pastoral Constitution on the Modern World\, Gaudium et Spes\, the document’s text itself\, and the history of its reception\, and offer a perspective on the current health of the Church and its prospects for bringing the light of Christ to the world.

SUMMARY:“Religious Freedom in America Today”
DESCRIPTION:As President Clinton observed\, “religious freedom is . . . our first freedom.” It was central to the Founders’ vision for the American political community. They did not always agree about what religious freedom means or requires\, but they knew that it matters\, and that it should be respected in policy and protected by law. James Madison\, the Father of our Constitution\, hoped that America’s religious-liberty experiment promised a lustre to our country. This lecture will take stock of this experiment and consider the rights of religious believers and institutions and their roles and voices in American public life today. \n\nCo-sponsored by the Catholic Lawyers Guild

SUMMARY:"John Climacus" Non-Credit Course
DESCRIPTION:Lecture\, 7:00pm\nInformal Dinner\, 6:30pm \nIntended for University students\, faculty\, and recent graduates. Others interested in attending\, contact info@lumenchristi.org. \nMay 24\n“John Climacus: Cleansing\, Death\, and Resurrection in his “The Ladder of Divine Ascent”\nPerry Hamalis (North Central College) \nCo-sponsored by the Orthodox Christian Fellowship \nJohn Climacus (ca. 579-ca. 659) uses a number of analogies to describe the dynamics of spiritual development in his famous ascetical work\, The Ladder of Divine Ascent. In addition to the image of a “ladder\,” embedded in the work’s title\, St. John uses a range of medical imagery\, appeals to figures and events from the Hebrew Bible\, and even compares a monastery to a “laundry” where the dirt\, grossness\, and deformity of the soul are scrubbed away. Through reflection on several passages from this classic work in Christian ascetical theology\, this lecture contends that St. John’s images reveal a deeper\, existential focus within his ethical vision–one that links cleansing and the acquisition of the virtues with a passing over from death to a resurrected way of living.

SUMMARY:The Catholic Roots of Religious Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the St. Thomas More Society \nThe roots of modern ideas of religious freedom are as much religious as they are political and philosophical. The American political leaders who first championed these ideas were well aware of the religious sources supporting their views. This lecture explores how early Christian thinkers developed a theological understanding of religious freedom.

SUMMARY:The Unintended Reformation"
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Department of History and The Early Modern Workshop \nIn his latest book\, The Unintended Reformation\, Brad Gregory identifies the unintended consequences of the Protestant Reformation and traces how it has shaped the modern condition. He argues that hyperpluralism\, an absence of a shared sense of the common good\, and the triumph of consumerism are each the long-term effects of a distinctive religious movement that marked the end of a period of history in which Christianity provided a framework for a shared intellectual\, social\, and moral life in the West.

SUMMARY:Irony and Humanity: A Dialogue between Jonathan Lear and Alasdair MacIntyre
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Committee on Social Thought and the Department of Philosophy.\nCo-sponsored by the Lumen Christi Institute. \nIn his most recent book\, A Case for Irony\, Jonathan Lear argues that becoming a human being is a difficult task\, and that developing a capacity for irony is essential to doing it well. He claims that ironic experience is a form of truthfulness that is constitutive of human flourishing\, such that a capacity for irony is a kind of virtue or human excellence. Alasdair MacIntyre will join Lear in a conversation about his book.

SUMMARY:"Thomas Aquinas on God and Evil"
DESCRIPTION:Many people find that they cannot reconcile belief in the existence of God with the reality of evil; for if an all powerful and perfectly good God exists\, then why is there so much suffering and injustice? Brian Davies\, in his most recent book\, Thomas Aquinas on God and Evil\, argues that Aquinas gives us the proper theoretical framework for dealing with these tensions.

SUMMARY:"A Critical Look at Ayn Rand"
DESCRIPTION:The continuing success of the books of Ayn Rand\, even among Catholics\, reveals the influence of her thought in debates on the role of the individual\, community\, market\, and state in modern societies. At the same time\, Rand’s success may have obscured fundamental flaws in her thought. A closer look at her philosophical\, moral\, political\, and economic positions brings into question both the legitimacy of her success as well as the credulity of her disciples and the American public. Is it possible for anyone to be a legitimate philosopher in an age of clever marketing and mass consumption?

SUMMARY:"Emotion and Virtue in Thomas Aquinas"
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Templeton Foundation and The Philosophy Department \n\nAbstract: For Aquinas\, ethics is nothing other than the study of human psychology insofar as it flourishes or fails to flourish. Consequently\, his thought on emotion is crucial to his account of virtue. This lecture will discuss Aquinas’s theory of the emotions and its implications for his virtue theory.

SUMMARY:"Benedict's Teaching for Dark Ages\, His and Ours"
DESCRIPTION:While Roman civilization collapsed around him\, Benedict a fifth-century monk and abbot authored his Rule for monks and set forth a way of life for the monasteries that would become one of the few lights of wisdom and civility in an age of increasing darkness and social isolation. Benedict taught those who lived in these dark ages how to make their daily lives an integrated whole of prayer and work\, enlightened by the wisdom of Christ. In this respect\, his Rule contains many lessons that apply to Christians in contemporary life.

SUMMARY:“The Identity of Knower and Known in Aquinas”
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Abstract:\nThe claim that knowledge involves an identity of knower and known has its historical roots among the Greeks. This lecture explores this claim as one finds it in the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. Professor O’Callaghan will explore these issues in critical dialogue with two different papers\, one by Wilfrid Sellars titled “Being and Being Known” and the other by John McDowell titled “Sellars’s Thomism.”

SUMMARY:“Phenomenology and Naturalism: Attitude and Objectivity”
DESCRIPTION:Edmund Husserl was a philosopher\, mathematician\, and founder of the philosophical school of phenomenology. Professor Moran will argue that Husserl was correct to see naturalism as the dominant tendency of twentieth-century science and philosophy. Naturalism can be understood in many different senses\, but it is typically defined by its commitment to science as the arbiter of what is objective. Husserl took naturalism to be self-refuting. Moran will discuss Husserl’s arguments\, and in particular\, the manner in which Husserl redefines ‘objectivity’ within his transcendental idealism\, which is his alternative to naturalism. \n\nMoran’s lecture will be followed by commentary from Professors Jean-Luc Marion (University of Paris/Sorbonne\, University of Chicago) and Christopher Frey (University of Chicago).

SUMMARY:“Politics as Vocation in Cicero and Burke”
DESCRIPTION:Mary Ann Glendon\nA.B.\, J.D.\, M.C.L.\, University of Chicago\nProfessor of Law\, Harvard University Law School\,\nPresident\, The Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences \nOn the occasion of the publication of her book The Forum and the Tower: How Scholars and Politicians Have Imagined the World\, from Plato to Eleanor Roosevelt \nCo-sponsored by the Committee on Social Thought and the University of Chicago Law School \nAbout the Book:\nAs Aristotle noted long ago\, two very different and sometimes incompatible ways of life; the political and the philosophical exert a powerful pull on the ambitious and talented members of any society. Mary Ann Glendon\, who teaches at Harvard Law School\, says that she sees this double attraction in her students. Some go into politics\, but many turn away\, fearful of the compromises and corruptions of power. Such students may go on to become teachers and scholars\, but they never quite give up on the idea of making a difference in the wider\, public world\, even if they aren’t quite sure how to do it. Ms. Glendon’s The Forum and the Tower profiles 12 figures in Western history who struggled not always successfully with the conflict between an active life and a contemplative one\, between life in the public forum and life in the ivory tower.… The Forum and the Tower is a wise exploration of the eternal tension between action and thought.\nBrian C. Anderson\, The Wall Street Journal

SUMMARY:A Concert of Sacred Music\, "Josquin: Master of the Notes"
DESCRIPTION:Schola Antiqua of Chicago\, Artists-in-Residence at the Lumen Christi Institute\, presented a program exclusively dedicated to the music of Josquin des Prez\, one of the most important composers from the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. His fluid and persuasive style of composition encapsulates the transition between the sound-world of the late Middle Ages and that of the High Renaissance. The centerpiece of the concert featured a rare performance of the composer’s Mass for the Blessed Virgin\, a four-voice setting of the Mass Ordinary that figures among the latest of the composer’s masses\, written around 1510. The program\, under the direction of Michael Alan Anderson (Eastman School of Music)\, was supplemented by three of Josquin’s most exceptional motets (sacred choral works). \nFriday\, October 21\, 8pm\nSt. James Chapel at Quigley Center of the Archdiocese of Chicago\n835 North Rush Street\nChicago\, IL 60611 \nSaturday\, October 22\, 8pm\nRockefeller Memorial Chapel at the University of Chicago\n5850 South Woodlawn Avenue\nChicago\, IL 60637 \nSunday\, October 23\, 4pm\nSt. Francis Xavier Church\n524 Ninth Street\nWilmette\, IL 60091

SUMMARY:Dostoevsky’s Pilgrimage: Aesthetics and Ascesis in “The Brothers Karamazov”
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures \n\nDostoevsky’s final novel\, set partly in a monastery\, continues to shape contemporary images of Orthodox Christian monasticism and ascetic practice. Bird will examine how well Dostoevsky actually knew this milieu and this tradition\, and how profoundly his knowledge affected his writing of The Brothers Karamazov. This will serve as a case study for the broader question of the influence of the Orthodox Christian ascetic tradition on modern Russian aesthetics.

A. W. Müeller will suggest that she has contributed to current intellectual life in three ways: 1) by initiating a philosophy of action that helps us to argue responsibly about moral questions; 2) by stressing the importance of seeking truth in matters of basic orientation; 3) by showing that Christian beliefs do not need to shun the standards of intellectual respectability.

SUMMARY:“Cardinal Lustiger and the New Springtime of the Church in Paris”
DESCRIPTION:A close friend of Jean-Luc Marion\, Cardinal Lustiger was nicknamed “le bulldozer” for his efforts to rebuild the Church as Archbishop of Paris. He established new parishes\, founded the “Ãcole Cathedrale\,” created Radio Notre-Dame\, founded a center for cultural dialogue in a 13th-century monastery building on the Left Bank\, and published best-selling books\, among them Dare to Believe. Lustiger’s work was rooted in the “French School” of spirituality of Cardinal Pierre de Barulle and Jean-Jacques Olier (founder of the Sulpicians). Lustiger was committed to deepening the French Church’s reconciliation with democracy and to strengthening relations with the Jewish people\, to whom he belonged by birth. \n**Part of the Alliance’s “April in Paris” series**

SUMMARY:Virtue\, Action\, and Reason: A Conference in Honor of Anselm Müller
DESCRIPTION:The University of Chicago Philosophy Department will host a conference entitled\, “Virtue\, Action\, and Reason” in honor of the Spring 2011 Lumen Christi visiting fellow\, Anselm Müeller. The Lumen Christi Institute\, along with a number of other institutes on campus\, are delighted to act as conference co-sponsors. \nThe publication of Elizabeth Anscombe Modern Moral Philosophy in 1958 is often taken to mark a watershed event in analytic philosophical ethics. In this justly famous paper\, Anscombe laid out three controversial theses. First\, she argued that philosophers should not do moral theory until they have worked out an adequate philosophy of action and practical reason. Second\, she argued that the idea of moral obligation\, so central to the project of modern moral philosophy\, is vacuous\, and we should learn to do moral philosophy without it.  Finally\, she argued that the differences within contemporary moral theorists are superficial once we consider the crucial respect in which they are the same: each rejects the idea that some forms of human action such as the procurement of the judicial condemnation of the innocent are intrinsically bad qua human and\, as such\, are absolutely forbidden. At the close of her paper\, Anscombe suggests that we give up the project of modern moral philosophy and return to the wisdom of a more ancient tradition of thought about the good life for man\, one whose roots lie in Plato and Aristotle. \nArguably\, no one has done more to advance progress in the direction Anscombe originally pointed than her student\,  Professor Anselm Müeller.  Over the course of his long and distinguished career\, he has articulated a theory of practical reason and action that seeks to demonstrate that man needs the virtues (dispositions for good practical inference) in order to achieve happiness. Moreover\, he develops his theory in such a way that eliminates the need for an unreflective appeal to a species of practical obligation that is special in virtue of being moral. And finally\, he has forcefully argued that predications of goodness and badness apply directly to actions and agents\, and only derivatively to states of affairs\, thereby showing that consequentialism rests upon a false picture of the relation between act and agent. In so doing\, Professor Müeller has made lasting contributions to the field of practical philosophy. \nProfessor Müeller will be a visiting faculty member in the Philosophy Department this Spring quarter\, and will be teaching a graduate seminar on the writings of Elizabeth Anscombe. To commemorate his visit to the University of Chicago\, and to honor his distinguished career\, the Philosophy Department is hosting a conference on his contributions to practical philosophy\, titled Action\, Virtue\, and Reason. Each presenter at our conference will give a talk that engages one of Professor Müeller’s seminal papers in practical philosophy\, with one hour of discussion to follow each presentation. Professor Müeller will also give the keynote address\, titled The Teleology of the Virtuous Life.

SUMMARY:A Philosophical Reading of the Prodigal Son
DESCRIPTION:While the parable of the prodigal son has traditionally been read as a story about a wayward son in need of repentance or the conflict of two siblings over their just treatment\, Hart will suggest that the father is the central character of the narrative. The phenomenological tradition is employed to shift the theological perspective of the parable toward a vision of the kingdom of God imagined through the forgiveness and unconditional love of the Father. This lecture was co-sponsored by the University of Chicago Theology Workshop.

SUMMARY:“Eriugena: The Medieval Irish Genius Between Augustine and Aquinas”
DESCRIPTION:The Carolingian thinker Johannes Scottus Eriugena (810-877CE) is the author of numerous philosophical and theological works. Most famous among them is the Periphyseon or On Natures (864-866CE)\, a metaphysical dialogue drawing on the Greek and Latin patristic and classical traditions. Having been falsely condemned because of pantheism in 1225\, Eriugena was only seriously studied in the twentieth century\, which saw a major effort to complete all the critical editions of his works (until 2005). With all the modern tools in place\, it is time to map out a vista of what the tradition of medieval Western thought would have looked like\, had he not been excised from it. For Eriugena is by all accounts the most interesting and systematic thinker between Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. \nWhat Eriugena has in common with Augustine (354-430CE) is his deep attention to creation and to exegesis as the prime vehicle for conveying his ideas about it. Eriugena was familiar with Augustine’s interpretation of Genesis as well as with that of Gregory of Nyssa\, and he seems to have situated himself deliberately in between them. The latter half of his major work On Natures is cast entirely as a commentary on Genesis but exegesis was for Eriugena\, just like for Augustine\, also a vehicle for speculative thought. \nWith Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274CE) Eriugena has in common a deep interest in precise epistemological analysis: what can and cannot be known by the human mind\, and how do we distinguish the reach of the mind from the infinity of the divine? Here Eriugena daringly incorporates the negative theology of Pseudo-Dionysius in what is an unusual definition of nature. While we cannot know the divine\, as he transcends the human mind\, Eriugena still considers God an integral part of natura\, and it is through the via negativa that he wants to approach the divine. \nWith both Augustine and Aquinas Eriugena shares an attachment to the mystical structure ofexitus and reditus\, or procession and return\, as his intellectual journey ultimately parallels a mystical quest\, that of the soul on its way to salvation. Where Eriugena is most unlike Augustine and Aquinas\, however\, is in the neglect that has befallen his thought as opposed to theirs. It is time for a reappraisal\, therefore\, or rather\, time for a first integral appraisal of the thought of John Scottus Eriugena.

SUMMARY:“Knowledge\, Metaphysics\, and the Information Explosion”
DESCRIPTION:Benedict Ashley\, OP (Aquinas Institute of Theology\, Emeritus)\nHerman Sinaiko (University of Chicago\, Emeritus) \nTo some\, in the information age\, we seem to know more things\, to communicate more effectively\, and to better interrelate scientific disciplines. To others\, however this  ‘information explosion’ has produced a miscommunication\, a superficial acquaintance with trivial facts\, and fragmentation of once-related disciplines. In light of this\, Benedict Ashley and Herman Sinaiko will consider whether an Aristotelian ‘synthesis’ of the sciences might offer a means of integrating human knowledge.

SUMMARY:“The Book of Genesis” Non-Credit Course
DESCRIPTION:Intended for university students\, faculty\, and recent graduates. Others interested in attending\, please contact info@lumenchristi.org \nThursday\, January 13\nGenesis 1-2: “Creation: Grace upon Grace” \nIf the Hebrew word for God were treated as an unknown (so that we learned its meaning from the text\, instead of bringing our catechism with us to the reading)\, these verses would by themselves teach us most of the Divine Attributes. We are told of the creation of heaven and earth\, the creation of man in the image of God\, the naming of the beasts\, the presentation of the woman and her namegiving\, and the nuptial meaning of the one flesh. To be discussed: what authority does the text of Genesis claim for itself? \nThursday\, January 20\nGenesis 3-4: “Downfall” \nGod places the man into a garden He had planted. Prohibition\, temptation\, sacrifice\, and homicide make their appearance. What are we to understand by prohibition\, sin\, lying\, and shame as conveyed by the text? \nThursday\, January 27\nGenesis 5-11: “The Sign of the Covenant” \nGod resolves to destroy “all flesh” by the flood. What does it mean for God to annihilate His own Creation? What does the righteousness of Noah consist in and what is the meaning of the covenant? What was the sin of the builders of the tower of Babel\, and how does the sacred author understand their abasement? \nThursday\, February 3\nGenesis 12-22: “Abraham: Reckoned unto Him as Righteousness” \nThe story of Abraham and Sarah is the story of a divine promise\, which is at once a burden and a source of hope. What is meant to be taught by Abraham’s obedience in the sacrifice of Isaac? To be discussed: does the Old Testament understand faith as a virtue? \nThursday\, February 17\nGenesis 23-36: “The Sorrows of the Patriarchs” \nAbraham\, Isaac\, and Jacob are not held up to us as men whose character and moral conduct are to be imitated. Their patriarchy is accorded its value not in virtue of heroism or holiness\, yet is seen most clearly in adversity. To be discussed: within its own limits\, what does the Book of Genesis understand by “Israel”?

SUMMARY:Spiritual Exercises and the Contemporary Academy
DESCRIPTION:The work of Pierre Hadot and\, in his later years\, Michel Foucault on the ancient pagan and Christian practices of askesis\, or “spiritual exercise\,” has proven to be of interest not only to scholars of the late classical and early Christian era\, but to a much broader range of humanists working across a variety of disciplines. One reason for this interest is the possibility that religious and non-religious contemporary academics might be able to incorporate the techniques and aims of spiritual exercise into their own scholarly work\, thus imbuing their academic teaching and writing with an ethical\, if not religious\, significance that is sometimes felt to be lacking in the day-to-day life of the academic. On this panel\, we will consider whether and how the contemporary academy might be enriched by spiritual exercise and practices of contemplation or meditation.

SUMMARY:The Apocalypse in Origen and the Origenian Tradition
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will investigate the interpretation of the Book of Revelation\, or Apocalypse\, in Origen and the Origenian tradition. Why does Origen accept this book\, whereas many Origenian exegetes do not? What role does Millenarianism play in this choice\, and what kind of exegesis does Origen apply in order to accept the Apocalypse? In answering these questions and others\, the lecture looks to two influences on Origen’s thought: Plato and St. Paul\, especially 1 Cor. 15.

SUMMARY:From Curiosity to Studiousness: Catechizing the Appetite for Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:It’s a good thing\, almost everyone would say\, to want to know things; that view is certainly bone-deep in our universities and colleges\, as well as in the church. But there are different ways of coming to want to know things\, different ways of training and forming the appetite for knowledge. It has been traditional in Catholic Christianity to identify two such ways under the labels curiositas (curiosity) and studiositas (studiousness). This talk will explore the difference between the two\, and offer a sketch of what a well-formed appetite for knowledge is like.

SUMMARY:Symposium on Caritas in Veritate
DESCRIPTION:Published upon the heels of the global financial collapse of 2008\, Benedict XVI’s social encyclical\, Caritas in Veritate\, has been received with great controversy in America. Conservatives have criticized the encyclical’s indictment of neoliberal policies while progressives have severed the encyclical’s social concerns from their origin in the sanctity of human life. This panel discussion of Caritas in Veritate will consider the encyclical in light of the tradition of Catholic social teaching\, the political difficulties facing economic reform\, and the challenge of inter-religious dialogue.

SUMMARY:The Authority of Law in Recent Catholic Political Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Center for Law\, Philosophy and Human Values \nThis lecture considers several recent attempts by Catholic political philosophers working in the natural law tradition to give an account of law’s authority\, and their success in answering some recent criticism. The difficulties in providing a successful natural law account of law’s authority gives us reason to rethink the sort of explanatory ambitions of new natural law theorists.

SUMMARY:Symposium on Gary Anderson’s Sin: A History
DESCRIPTION:In Sin: A History\, Gary Anderson shows how changing conceptions of sin lay at the heart of the biblical tradition. Spanning two thousand years\, the book demonstrates how sin\, once conceived of as a physical burden\, becomes\, over time\, eclipsed by economic metaphors. Transformed from a weight that an individual carried\, this Jewish revolution in thought shaped the way the Christian church understood the death and resurrection of Jesus.

SUMMARY:Are Catholics Unreliable from a Democratic Point of View? Reflections on the 60th Anniversary of Paul Blanchard’s American Freedom and Catholic Power
DESCRIPTION:Published in 1949\, Paul Blanshard’s American Freedom and Catholic Power captured the attention of American intelligentsia with its claim that American Catholic citizens had to choose “between a church hostile to fundamentals of democracy and a state where contrary views are implicit under our Constitution.” John F. Kennedy’s famous speech to Protestant ministers in Houston on Sept. 12\, 1960 was in many respects a response to Blanshard’s thesis. Today Blanshard’s bigotry may not be explicitly defended in educated circles\, but questions remain about what made his book so compelling. Patrick Brennan considers whether Blanshard was onto something about the incompatibility of Catholic principles and American democratic philosophy.

SUMMARY:A Colloquium on Kathleen Sprows Cummings’s New Women of the Old Faith: Gender and American Catholicism in the Progressive Era
DESCRIPTION:American Catholic women rarely surface as protagonists in histories of the United States. Offering a new perspective\, Kathleen Sprows Cummings places Catholic women at the forefront of two defining developments of the Progressive Era: the emergence of the “New Woman” and Catholics’ struggle to define their place in American culture. Cummings highlights four women: Chicago-based journalist Margaret Buchanan Sullivan; Sister Julia McGroarty\, SND\, founder of Trinity College in Washington\, D.C.\, one of the first Catholic women’s colleges; Philadelphia educator Sister Assisium McEvoy\, SSJ; and Katherine Eleanor Conway\, a Boston editor\, public figure\, and antisuffragist. Cummings uses each woman’s story to explore how debates over Catholic identity were intertwined with the renegotiation of American gender roles. By examining female power within Catholic religious communities and organizations\, she challenges the widespread assumption that women who were faithful members of a patriarchal church were incapable of pathbreaking work on behalf of women.

SUMMARY:Does Secularization Lead to Moral Decline?
DESCRIPTION:The broad public debates on religion and ethics frequently suffer from empirical deficiencies. All sides tend to argue in a way one might call an “a priori” mode of argumentation. In contrast\, this lecture offers some empirically grounded reflections. First\, Hans Joas asks whether the morality of secularized societies could be a mere remnant or reverberation of religious traditions. Secondly\, he briefly investigates with regard to tribal societies whether religion should be considered to be constitutive for morality at all. Thirdly\, he uses an example from Christian missionary work to look at the interaction of new religion and traditional morality. And lastly he brings together these reflections by claiming that normative regulations have a double origin and he will mark the precise point where he sees a present danger of moral regression caused by secularization.

SUMMARY:Imago Dei: Philosophical Approaches to the Human Being as Image of God
DESCRIPTION:This conference addresses the following questions: What constitutes the image of God? How are we to understand Augustine’s claim that human beings come to understand both who they are and who they have been only through relationship with God? How do St. Thomas Aquinas and Blaise Pascal remain within or depart from the Augustinian tradition? What role do Aristotelian and Platonic (or neo-Platonic) conceptions of human identity and the soul play? Lastly\, as Genesis offers an essentially relational account of “Imago Dei\,” in what way can we discover or participate in such relationship with God through social relationships?

SUMMARY:Vestiges of the Trinity: Joyce on the Artist as Imago Dei
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Aquinas’s doctrine of the Trinity is crucial to James Joyce’s presentation of the artist in both Portrait of the Artist and Ulysses. Now\, Joyce’s deployment of Trinitarian themes is not strictly orthodox of course. But the Trinity does provide a model\, an exemplar\, for a proper understanding of artistic fecundity and a subtle critique of popular romantic conceptions of artistic self-expression. Whatever his intentions\, Joyce’s treatment suggest ways in which the Thomistic doctrine of the Trinity and the Imago Dei can contribute to a fresh understanding of artistic activity.

SUMMARY:Against Nostalgia: Catholicism\, History and Modernity
DESCRIPTION:Deeply ingrained assumptions about the nature of historical change prevent an adequate comprehension of the transformations that have created the contemporary Western world over the past half-millennium. Departures from traditional Christianity since the sixteenth century\, and related attempts to ground truth claims in scripture or reason alone yielded unintended pluralisms via Protestantism and modern philosophy that remain pervasively influential today. Catholicism continues to offer an intellectually viable alternative–provided one does not subscribe to inadequate views of how the past became the present. \nYou can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, or by searching for our profile on any of the following platforms: Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music.

SUMMARY:The Solzhenitzyn Question
DESCRIPTION:Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn left a vast body of work\, an inestimable influence on Russian culture\, and a deeply divided public opinion. He documented the Soviet prison system\, developed forms of literary representation for describing the experiences of prisoners\, and was courageous in the face of repression. But doubts linger about him as artist\, thinker and person\, and thus prompt us to raise the Solzhenitsyn question.

SUMMARY:Thomas Aquinas\, Scientist: How Might He Approach 21st Century Biotechnology
DESCRIPTION:Despite flaws in his biology\, Aquinas’ writings offer us guidance in our approach to 21st century biotechnology. Aquinas’ notion of a Just War provides us with a way for thinking about biotechnology\, since both use morally ambiguous means to address evils in an imperfect world. A comparison of these two disparate issues can yield criteria for an ethics of biotechnology.

SUMMARY:Sketch of a Phenomenological Concept of Sacrifice
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Jean-Luc Marion advances a phenomenological notion of sacrifice that is distinct from the notion of sacrifice typically discussed in Sociology or even Religious Studies. He argues that sacrifice restores the gift from the side of the givee\, much as he has argued previously that forgiveness restores the gift from the side of the giver. He develops both notions within the framework of a phenomenology of givenness\, advancing the thesis that sacrifice requires neither destruction\, nor restitution\, nor even exchange\, and still less contract. Sacrifice surpasses all this because sacrifice does not arise as an economic notion (one that would make an economy of the gift)\, but rather from the gift itself. The function of sacrifice is only to permit acknowledgment of the giver and thereby the entire process of givenness\, by reducing the given.

SUMMARY:Faith\, Reason and the Eucharist
DESCRIPTION:Between doubts about “natural theology” and post-modern polemics against “modernity”\, an older view that the existence of God can be known “by the natural light of reason” gets little hearing. Perhaps it is time to revisit these older views in light of Aquinas’ understanding of the rational powers as “bodily presence”\, analogous to the power of signification found in music and\, more profoundly\, in the Eucharist; only within this broader conception of human reason can we speak of the existence of God as demonstrable by rational proof.

SUMMARY:The Christian Identity of Europe
DESCRIPTION:Europe is suffering from a spiritual identity crisis. Some countries rejected the historical preambulum to a European Constitution because Christianity was mentioned as one of the founding elements of the union… At the heart of the crisis is the loss of the spiritual basis on which the Continent had been united\, mostly the idea of a Christian civilization. This address investigates the growth of this idea through the centuries as well as the causes of its recent decline and\, in some areas\, even loss. Can a European union survive without its founding idea? Are other models available\, such as for instance that of a United States of Europe\, on a purely economic basis? What is the difference between Europe and the USA in this respect? Louis Dupré is the T. Lawrason Riggs Professor Emeritus in Yale University’s religious studies department.
