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.

SUMMARY:“The Importance of Elizabeth Anscombe”
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Department of Philosophy \nTO LISTEN: right click on below links to download or open in new window \n“The Importance of Elizabeth Anscombe\,” Anselm Mueller (part 1)\n“The Importance of Elizabeth Anscombe\,” Anselm Mueller (part 2)\n“The Importance of Elizabeth Anscombe\,” Anselm Mueller (part 3) \n\nElizabeth Anscombe has become known as a pupil and literary executor of Wittgenstein\, but also as a defender of conservative views on questions of morality. 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:“The Dignity of Being a Substance”
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Committee on Social Thought and the Program in Medieval Studies \nThomas Aquinas characterized the person as “what is most perfect” and “most worthy” in all of nature. What grounds the dignity of the human being as a person? While in our day a metaphysical approach to the question is undervalued\, this lecture attempts to show the value of such an approach in terms of “substance” and “nature.”

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.
