SUMMARY:Aquinas' Third Way of Proving a God: Logic or Love?
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Medieval Studies Workshop \nThomas Aquinas’ famous five ways of proving the existence of a God continue to intrigue and perplex his readers. The most troublesome is perhaps the third—the one based on the possible and the necessary—to which all sorts of objections can be heard: logical\, scientific\, theological\, phenomenological\, even Thomistic. Contrary to the usual assumption\, however\, the kind of possibility and necessity that the third way regards does not seem to be the logical kind.  In a sense\, it has more to do with love than with logic. This reading puts the problems that the third way faces\, and also the God that it affirms\, in a rather different light. \nFr. Brock will also be leading a summer seminar for graduate students in Rome this summer on “Metaphysics and the Soul in Thomas Aquinas.”

SUMMARY:Master Class on "The Causality of Petitionary Prayer: C.S. Lewis\, Peter Geach\, & Thomas Aquinas"
DESCRIPTION:Stephen L. Brock (Pontifical University of the Holy Cross) \nREGISTER HERE \nIf\, as Christians believe\, God is all-wise and all-good\, what sense does it make to ask Him for things?  He is already perfectly aware of our true needs\, and He already wants to provide for them.  Many of our petitions\, it seems\, will be ignorant and misguided; and the others\, unnecessary and superfluous.  And if He already knows everything that will happen\, can our requests really make a difference anyway?  Yet petitionary prayer is part of the whole Christian tradition.  Jesus himself practiced it\, exhorted His followers to do so\, and taught them how.  In this seminar\, we will first look at how petitionary prayer is defended by two 20th-century Christian thinkers\, C. S. Lewis and Peter Geach.  Then we will examine Thomas Aquinas’s position on the question.  The discussion will take us into such thorny topics as time and eternity\, divine foreknowledge and human freedom\, and even predestination. \nThis master class is open to all graduate and undergraduate students\, including non-University of Chicago students. Copies of the readings will be provided.  Space is limited and offered on a first-come\, first-served basis. If you have any questions\, please contact Mark Franzen. \nFr. Brock will also be leading a summer seminar for graduate students in Rome this summer on “Metaphysics and the Soul in Thomas Aquinas.”

SUMMARY:Theology and Evolutionary Naturalism: How Much Can Biology Explain?
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 19\, 4:30pm\nBSLC 001\, 924 East 57th Street \nJohn Haught (Georgetown University) \nREGISTER HERE \nMany scientists and philosophers claim that a Darwinian understanding of life has rendered the idea of God unnecessary. Descent\, diversity\, design\, death\, suffering\, sex\, intelligence\, morality\, and religion—features of life that had previously been understood theologically—now seem open to a purely natural explanation. This lecture will consider whether the claims of evolutionary naturalists are coherent and whether a theological understanding of life can still be reconciled with biological accounts. \ncosponsored by the Program on Medicine and Religion and the Theology and Religious Ethics Workshop

SUMMARY:Science\, Faith\, and the New Atheism
DESCRIPTION:John Haught (Georgetown University \nThe bestselling books by the “New Atheists” Richard Dawkins\, Sam Harris\, Daniel Dennett and Christopher Hitchens provide colorful portraits of the evils of religions\, especially those that profess belief in a personal God. In their passionate denunciation of faith in God\, the New Atheists appeal not only to morality but also to reason to convince readers of the absolute wrongness of belief in God. This lecture will summarize the main claims of the New Atheists and examine whether these claims are themselves reasonable.
