A Concert of Sacred Music, “Josquin: Master of the Notes”

St. James Chapel, Quigley Center 835 North Rush Street Chicago, IL 60611, Chicago, IL

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...

“Phenomenology and Naturalism: Attitude and Objectivity”

Rosenwald 405 1101 East 58th St. Chicago, IL 60637, Hyde Park, IL

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. Moran’s lecture will be followed by commentary from Professors Jean-Luc...

“The Identity of Knower and Known in Aquinas”

Swift Hall, First Floor Common Room 1025 E 58th St,Chicago, IL 60637, Hyde Park, IL

Lecture Abstract: The 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.”

Solidarity Forever: An Idea and its Roots in Catholic Social Thought

Swift Hall, Room 106 1025 E 58th St, Chicago, IL 60637, Hyde Park, IL

Before “solidarity” became a legal concept and later the name of the Polish labor movement, it developed as an economic, political, social, but most fundamentally a theological idea from which the rest of the Catholic social teaching tradition developed.

“The Grand Design: An Augustinian Reply to Stephen Hawking”

Social Sciences, Room 122 1126 E 59th St. Chicago, IL 60637, Hyde Park, IL

Cosponsored by The Theology Workshop Stephen Hawking has recently declared that philosophy is dead, and that science is the only reasonable method for securing knowledge. In response, Professor Cavadini will argue that philosophy is rooted in man’s wonder about the universe, and that scientific inquiry is only one aspect of true wisdom and should not be privileged over others.
