SUMMARY:"Isaiah: Prophet & Poet" Non-Credit Course
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, Oct. 7-Nov. 25\nGavin House\, 1220 East 58th Street\n6:00PM Informal Dinner\n6:30PM Presentation \nFr. Paul Mankowski\, S.J. \nREGISTER HERE \nHe left a powerfully personal and enduring stamp on his and subsequent civilizations\, while almost nothing is known of the man himself.  Isaiah was not Israel’s first prophet\, yet can be said to have created once-for-all the terms of prophetic expression.  The vigor\, clarity and assurance with which he conveyed his oracles imposed a characteristic shape on prophecy that to this day remains unbroken.  As a poet\, further\, he brought into being a family of images so vital as to penetrate not only his own language but every language into which they have been translated.  In this course\, Fr. Mankowski will examine the prophet\, and his post-Exilic acolytes\, in the light of Israelite religion and the traditions of Hebrew poetry. \nTuesday\, October 7\nZion Agonistes — Chapter 1 \nTuesday\, October 14\nThe Song of the Lord’s Vineyard — Chapters 2-5 \nTuesday\, October 21\nThe Call of the Prophet — Chapters 6-12 \nTuesday\, October 28\nOracles and Apocalypse — Chapters 13-27 \nTuesday\, November 4\nDefeat and Restoration — Chapters 28-39 \nTuesday\, November 18\nThe Song of the Suffering Servant — Chapters 40-55 \nTuesday\, November 25\nThe Song of the Glorious Zion — Chapters 55-66 \nIntended for university students and recent graduates. Others interested in attending please contactinfo@lumenchristi.org.

SUMMARY:The Necessity of Goodness
DESCRIPTION:Rémi Brague (Sorbonne/University of Munich) \ncosponsored by the France Chicago Center at the University of Chicago \nWe commonly conceive of the Good as being what we should do\, sharing Aristotle’s rejection of Plato’s Idea of the Good and his reduction of the good to what can be done by a free subject. Since this subject is a human being\, it must first come to be by being born\, a process in which we don’t “do” anything and are radically non-free. To what extent can we call this process “good”? If not\, we cannot  ensure the perpetuation of humankind. Should humankind go on existing\, and doing that for solid reasons\, we will have to rehabilitate something like the Idea of the Good. \n“Rémi Brague is one of the few scholars alive who is equally an expert on medieval Arabic\, Jewish\, and Latin philosophy (as well as on ancient Greek philosophy). He is an extraordinary linguist in both ancient and modern languages\, which enables a truly subtle analysis of texts and ideas.”\n—Kent Emery\, Jr. (Professor of Liberal Studies\, University of Notre Dame)

SUMMARY:The Myth of Romantic Love: Denis de Rougemont's Love in the Western World
DESCRIPTION:Mark Shiffman (Villanova University) \ncosponsored by the Medieval Studies Workshop \n“…is there a notion of love abroad in the world which\, although we do not yet realize it\, renders the marriage bond intolerable in its very essence?” Denis de Rougemont\, Love in the Western World \nThe celebration of passionate romantic love in the modern West has its cultural roots in the courtly poetry of medieval Provence. In Love in the Western World\, Denis de Rougemont argues that this poetic tradition tacitly communicates the religious vision of the Cathars\, a Gnostic dualist sect that disdained marriage and the body. His thesis unfolds into a provocative exploration of the sometimes hidden relationships of religion and culture\, eros\, God\, nihilism and the question of a good life. \nThis lecture celebrates the 75th anniversary of the original publication of L’Amour et l’Occident.

SUMMARY:Majoring in Fear: The Decline of the Humanities among College Students Facing an Uncertain Future
DESCRIPTION:a luncheon discussion with\nMark Shiffman (Villanova University) \nREGISTER HERE \nMore than a decade ago\, David Brooks coined “organization kids” to describe a generation of America’s elite university students driven from early childhood toward a nearly certain goal: success. Today\, these students are not as confident that success is inevitable. They are often beleaguered by the fear that all of their effort and achievement won’t be enough. This anxiety has led to a steady decline in humanities majors across the country. In this discussion\, Prof. Shiffman will make a case for the humanities as an antidote to this anxiety and will discuss the importance of asking life’s fundamental questions in a University education. \nStudents are encouraged to read Prof. Shiffman’s short piece from First Things as a preface to the discussion. Lunch will be provided. \nSCHEDULE:\n1:00pm   Lunch\n1:20pm   Remarks by Prof. Shiffman\n1:40pm   Discussion\n2:30pm   Adjourn \nThis event is open to all university students.\nOthers interested in attending\, please contact info@lumenchristi.org.
