SUMMARY:St. Bonaventure on Education\, Philosophy\, and the Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Timothy B. Noone (Catholic University of America) \nREGISTER HERE \nCosponsored by the Philosophy Department and the Medieval Studies Workshop \nThis lecture will situate Bonaventure’s thought on education\, philosophy\, and the sciences into the context of the thirteenth century’s controversies regarding the place of philosophy in the universities and human life generally.  While Bonaventure accepts the essential and irreplaceable role of philosophy and science in the progress of human knowledge and endorses the claim that they both perfect the human intellect\, he insists that science and philosophy are in a hierarchy of knowledge that transcends them\, culminating in the study of Sacred Scripture\, theology\, and mystical vision.

SUMMARY:Master Class on The First Known in 13th Century Epistemology
DESCRIPTION:Timothy B. Noone (Catholic University of America) \nREGISTER HERE \nThis master class is open to graduate and undergraduate students\, including non-University of Chicago students. Space is limited and offered on a first-come\, first-served basis. Copies of the readings will be provided. \nThis seminar will begin with crucial texts from the middle of the thirteenth century that set up the problem of the first known as that problem came to be discussed in the writings of Aquinas\, Henry of Ghent\, and Duns Scotus.  Thereafter\, the seminar will examine the three authors mentioned on the issue of the first known and explore how their positions fit into other elements of their theories of cognition. The problem of whether or not to allow that God is in some vague sense the first thing known in an through the concept of being figures into\, and is background to\, parallel themes in the epistemology of thirteenth century philosophy\, including the issue of divine illumination and the theory of abstraction.

SUMMARY:Putting First Things First: The Story of Richard John Neuhaus' Vocation to Public Life
DESCRIPTION:Randy Boyagoda (author of Richard John Neuhaus: A Life in the Public Square) \nCosponsored by First Things\, the Chicago Leadership Forum\, and Relevant Radio \nFor all the political controversies that Fr. Richard John Neuhaus was involved in over his four decades in American public life\, and these were many\, he really understood his work in vocational terms. In other words\, he understood his work foremost as the work of a man of God. It’s too simple to dismiss him (or admire him!) as a Republican in a Roman collar\, as many of his later critics and fans did. Learn the full story of Fr. Neuhaus’ life\, his moving from Lutheran to Catholic and from Left to Right\, and discover that a religiously-informed vocation to public life is  as straightforward\, triumphant or disappointing as these markers might suggest (depending on your own religious and intellectual politics). \n  \n \n \n\nReviews of Richard John Neuhaus: A Life in the Public Square (Image\, 2015) \n“Deeply researched\, lucidly written.” – New York Times \n“In Richard John Neuhaus: A Life in the Public Square\, Randy Boyagoda captures his subject’s deep sense of vocation and the complexity of his personality\, offering a comprehensive biography and\, along the way\, a thoughtful introduction to some of the ‘culture wars’ of the past several decades.” – Wall Street Journal \n“[A] stellar biography.” – Publishers Weekly \n“Boyagoda dispassionately describes this fascinating and active life\, and he manages to blend skills as a folksy storyteller\, researcher and unbiased historian\, providing a biography that is balanced\, interesting and relevant. A useful\, provocative spotlight on one of the leading lights of the 20th century.” – Kirkus \n“[A] page-turner.” – National Review \n“Boyagoda’s biography is an invaluable account of the political and ecclesiastical controversies in which Neuhaus played a central\, influential and controversial role.” – America Magazine \n“A wonderful biography.” − Raymond Arroyo\, New York Times bestselling author and host\, EWTN’s The World Over \n“Boyagoda persuasively argues that Neuhaus was a charismatic leader and original thinker whose contributions to American culture and politics make him someone worth knowing about.” − American Conservative \n“Boyagoda’s luminously intelligent study of the man makes clear that Richard John Neuhaus — however one regards his politics — deserved his place in a long line of memorable American preacher politicians.” − National Post \n“Neuhaus was a hugely influential figure\, and Boyagoda tells his story with novelistic empathy and narrative panache.” − The Globe and Mail \n“Boyagoda found the Neuhaus I knew\, complete with all the man’s winsome qualities and not a few of his contradictions. Not surprisingly\, he also revealed facets of the man I could never guess.” − Russell E. Saltzman\, Aleteia \n“And up until now\, no one has offered a more credible\, careful\, and colorful biography of this convert to Catholicism. “ – Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan\, Archbishop of New York\, author ofTrue Freedom \n“Thorough\, vivid\, and keenly understanding of the interplay of personality\, faith\, and cultural context\, Boyagoda’s biography of Neuhaus does justice to this man of faith.” – Carl A. Anderson\, Supreme Knight\, Knights of Columbus \n“Until his death in 2009\, Father Richard John Neuhaus was a powerhouse in American public life and a monument in American Catholic history…Randy Boyagoda\, an extraordinary author best known for his work in fiction\, knew that someone had to tell Fr. Neuhaus’ story — and that it deserved to be told well.” − CatholicVote.org

SUMMARY:Aristotle on the Contemplation of the Divine
DESCRIPTION:Aryeh Kosman (Haverford College) \nCosponsored by the Philosophy Department \nAristotle’s remarks in the last book of the Nicomachean Ethics that the highest form of happiness consists in θεωρία is often translated as revealing happiness to consist in contemplation\, without noting that both terms designate a kind of seeing\, a mode of vision. This oversight if more remarkable when we recall that the vision in question is that of the divine. What does Aristotle mean by “seeing the divine?” This lecture will suggest that one way to understand Aristotle is to hear him as urging that happiness is associated with seeing the world as divine. Such seeing looks beyond the structuring of the world as good and bad and sees the world simply as it is. The association of this seeing with νοῦς makes precisely this point: νοῦς sees things simply as they are. Seeing the world’s divinity is not to have failed in judgment; it is to have relinquishedjudgment as to good and bad and as to the success of things going well or not well. It is simply to accept the presence of the world as its mere being\, a being that in its shining bestows its presence upon sentient subjects like ourselves.

SUMMARY:Master Class on "Virtues of Thought in Aristotle"
DESCRIPTION:Aryeh Kosman (Haverford College) \nREGISTER HERE \nThis master class is open to graduate and undergraduate students\, including non-University of Chicago students. Space is limited and offered on a first-come\, first-served basis. Copies of the readings will be provided. \nThis seminar will discuss Aristotle’s account in Book 6 of the Nicomachean Ethics of what he there terms “virtues of thought” – ἀρετὰι τῆς διανοίας – distinguishing them from virtues τοῦ ἤθοuς – virtues of character.   Virtues of thought seem to be those cognitive states that enable us to think well – to reason correctly and to judge truly\, sometimes about what is the case\, sometimes about how best to make something\, sometimes about how best to act. Thus the states that Aristotle proceeds to specify early in Book 6: these he designates art\, understanding\, prudence\, wisdom and intellect. These virtues are apparently states of character enabling the kinds of activities in which we engage when we deliberate or reason or plan or develop theories. They are\, to put it simply\, virtues that enable us to think well. But on another interpretation\, virtues of thought are not states of character enabling good thinking\, but those aspects of our character by virtue of which we are in general able to reason well concerning how best to bring about the objects of our desire. On this reading Aristotle’s distinction highlights the fact that all virtuous activities in general require good thinking\, rather than the fact that some virtuous activities in particular are instances of good thinking.  In addition to reading Book 6 of the Ethics and related texts of Aristotle\, participants will read and discuss a short essay by Dr. Kosman on this subject\, which suggests that it will be fruitful for understanding Aristotle that we keep both of these interpretations in view. \nREADINGS \n\nAristotle\, Nicomachean Ethics Book 6\nKosman\, Aryeh\, Virtues of Thought (Harvard University Press\, 2014) Ch. 15 on “Aristotle on the Virtues of Thought”

SUMMARY:San Marco\, the Dominican Monastery at the Heart of Renaissance Florence
DESCRIPTION:A lecture with Ada Palmer (University of Chicago) \n\nCosponsored by the Department of History \nIt is difficult today to imagine a world in which religious communities were deeply intertwined with the civic order and when a third of a town’s population might be priests\, monks\, and nuns. In Renaissance Florence the Dominican Monastery of San Marco was intimately tied to every aspect of city life\, from commerce and patronage\, to civil broils and foreign invasions\, to education and medicine\, to the great artists\, architects and radical thinkers who earned the Florentine Renaissance its eternal fame. This lecture will explore the monastery’s role as a center of social and spiritual life.
