SUMMARY:Non-Credit Course | The Bible and the Big Bang
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nThis event is in-person only. Intended for university students\, faculty\, and staff. Others interested in attending please contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. This non-credit is made possible through the support of ‘In Lumine: Supporting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide’ (Grant #62372) from the John Templeton Foundation. \nRegistrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose. Sessions do not presuppose previous attendance or prior knowledge of the subject. \nWhat is the relation between the Bible and the Big Bang? To many\, it seems natural to connect the physical beginning of the cosmos with the Abrahamic doctrine of creation\, but this association of science with philosophy and theology bears critical investigation. In this course\, we will take a deep dive into both the science of the early Universe and the Biblically-rooted doctrine of creation from nothing\, and explore what\, if any\, is the relation between them. Along the way we will engage with thinkers spanning from Philo of Alexandria in the first century to Stephen Hawking in the twenty-first century\, and will explore topics such as the beginning of time\, something coming from ‘nothing’\, fine-tuning and design. \nFORMAT \nTuesdays\, Jan 14-Feb 25\n6:00pm: Dinner\n6:30pm: Presentation \nOn February 11th\, in lieu of the non-credit course\, Fr. Adam Hincks will give our Magis Lecture\, “Faith\, Belief\, and Knowledge” at St. Ignatius College Prep. All NCC registrants are invited to attend the reception and lecture. Transportation will be provided.

SUMMARY:Non-Credit Course | Reasonably Vicious
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nThis event is in-person only. Intended for university students\, faculty\, and staff. Others interested in attending please contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. This non-credit is made possible through the support of ‘In Lumine: Supporting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide’ (Grant #62372) from the John Templeton Foundation. \nRegistrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose. Sessions do not presuppose previous attendance or prior knowledge of the subject. \nReasonably Vicious\, originally published in 2002\,  has been praised by Alasdair MacIntyre as a “distinctive\, well-argued\, in some key respects original and beautifully written account of practical reason.” \nPhilosopher Candace Vogler explores the problem of evil\, with Aquinas and Anscombe as her main interlocutors. She challenges contemporary moral psychology with a nuanced perspective that ties together practical reason\, practical good\, and the source of wrongdoing. \nVogler offers a complex understanding of moral agency by examining how moral actions are shaped by rationality\, human desires\, and motivations. \nReasonably Vicious has for twenty years remained a significant contribution to contemporary ethical discourse by making traditional philosophy relevant to modern moral challenges. \nJoin us as Prof. Vogler takes us through her work in a 3 session non-credit course. Participants will receive a copy of Reasonably Vicious. \nFORMAT \nTuesdays\, Nov 5-Nov 12\n6:00pm: Dinner\n6:30pm: Presentation

SUMMARY:Non-Credit Course | Science and Religion: Historical and Philosophical Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nThis event is in-person only. Intended for university students\, faculty\, and staff. Others interested in attending please contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. \nThis event is made possible through the support of ‘In Lumine: Supporting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide’ (Grant #62372) from the John Templeton Foundation. \nRegistrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose. Sessions do not presuppose previous attendance or prior knowledge of the subject. \nIt is often assumed\, on the basis of contemporary controversies\, that science and religion have always been in an oppositional relationship\, and that conflict between them is inevitable.  In this course we will consider the long history of science-religion relationships\, exploring the ways in which religious factors played a positive role in the emergence of modern science\, and were important in establishing a permanent and prominent place for scientific activity at the heart of modern Western culture. Specifically\, the course will consider how the very ideas of ‘science’ and ‘religion’ came to take on their present form\, while examining historical episodes such as the Galileo affair\, the publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species\, and the nineteenth-century invention of the conflict thesis.  We will also discuss how historical insights can provide resources for helping understand present relations between science and religion. \nSCHEDULE  \nOctober 8th: The Boundaries of Science & Religion \n\nFurther Reading: Harrison\, Peter\, Territories of Science and Religion ch 1 and 2.\n\nOctober 15: Religion and the Rise of Science \n\nFurther Reading: Harrison\, Peter\, ‘Christianity and the Rise of Western Science’\, ABC Religion and Ethics\, 8 May\, 2012.\nFurther Reading: Harrison\, Peter\, Territories of Science and Religion\, ch. 3.\n\nOctober 22: Exemplars of Conflict: Galileo and Darwin \n\nFurther Reading: Graney\, Christopher\, ‘Opposition to Galileo was Scientific\, not just Religious’\, Aeon Magazine\, 21 September\, 2016.\nFurther Reading: Dixon\, Thomas and Adam Shapiro\, Science and Religion\, chs. 2 & 4.\n\nOctober 29: Science and Modern Naturalism \n\nFurther Reading: Harrison\, Peter\, Some New World\, Introduction.\n\nFORMAT \nTuesdays\, October 8-October 29\n6:00pm: Dinner\n6:30pm: Presentation
