SUMMARY:Kingship: The Politics of Enchantment
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nCosponsored by the History Department and the Medieval Studies Workshop \nThe lecture will focus on the extraordinary millennial career of the sacral kingship down through the ages and across the globe as the most common form of government known to humankind. It will trace its survival down into the early modern era and highlight the unexpected turn whereby it drew the papacy itself into its ideological orbit and helped transform the popes into the last of the great sacral monarchs. \nYou can read more about Prof. Oakley’s book on Kingship HERE.

SUMMARY:The Conciliar Heritage: The Politics of Oblivion
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nCosponsored by the History Department and the Medieval Studies Workshop \nIn the early fifteenth century\, the general council assembled at Constance and\, representing the universal Church\, put an end to the scandalous schism which for almost forty years had divided the Latin Church between rival lines of claimants to the papal office. It did so by claiming and exercising an authority superior to that of the pope\, an authority by virtue of which it could impose constitutional limits on the exercise of his prerogatives\, stand in judgment over him\, and if need be\, depose him for wrongdoing. This lecture will consider the nature and history of the conciliarist tradition of ecclesiastical constitutionalism across the half millennium down to 1870 when Vatican I\, by confirming Cardinal Manning’s claim that “ultramontanism is Catholic Christianity”\, consigned it to oblivion. \nYou can read more about Professor Oakley’s book The Conciliarist Tradition HERE.

SUMMARY:Master Class on the Epistle to Diognetus
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER 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. \nA masterpiece of early Christian apologetic literature (about 200)\, this short anonymous writing gives a vivid description of the paradoxical way in which Christians live in the pagan world and gives us precious hints about God’s ways. The actuality of such an ancient work for our secularized world is amazing. \nThe text can be found HERE.

SUMMARY:The Near East in the First Millenium: A Bird's Eye View
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the France Chicago Center and the Department of Near East Languages and Civilizations \nThe Near East of today is very much in the center of attention\, for obvious political and military reasons. Yet\, it is worth while to look at its past cultural history. It was for millennia the hub of the world’s higher culture. It was especially fruitful in the Roman Empire and in the first centuries of Islam. Its influence on European culture was real. It is a duty for us all to recall this heritage and to try and save what is left of it.

SUMMARY:NYC Master Class on Michel Foucault and Humanism
DESCRIPTION:A half-day seminar discussion of the chapter “Contesting Humanism: Michel Foucault” from the new book by philosopher Rémi Brague. This master class is open to graduate students and faculty. Undergraduates or others interested in participating should contact us. PDFs of the book will be made available online for all participants. \nABOUT THE BOOK \nThe Legitimacy of the Human (St. Augustine’s Press\, 2016) presents itself as a satellite work to a more voluminous effort by Rémi Brague\, The Kingdom of Man. The larger book argues the thesis of the increasingly visible failure of the modern project\, founded upon a view of man as thoroughly emancipated and autonomous\, his own sovereign and the world’s. This is most visible in our technological powers and predicaments\, with their ever-growing capacity to destroy or fundamentally transform our humanity\, but understandings of freedom and equality unable to justify themselves before the bar of reason\, but willfully asserting themselves\, complement the picture. If modernity’s precious gains are to be preserved\, and with them their beneficiaries\, modern human beings\, then the founding thoughts of the modern world need to be revisited and revised\, often in terms of a creative reengagement with premodern ones. A new\, truly humanistic\, culture needs to be sought. \nThe Legitimacy of the Human drives home that basic argument\, surveying contemporary challenges to the very existence of humanity\, then interrogating modern thought and philosophy for reasons it might have for the continuation of the human adventure. Brague finds the self-proclaimed advocates of the modern strikingly silent or even negative about the proposition. To be sure\, in many instances modern philosophy has helped humanity organize itself better in terms of justice\, peaceful coexistence\, and prosperity. But on the basic question whether it is good that humans exist\, it is strangely tongue-tied. Other authorities must be consulted\, other sources drawn from\, to credibly answer that fundamental existential question. The last two chapters of the book hearken to the answer of the biblical God\, as expressed in Genesis 1 and recapitulated by the Word Incarnate of the Gospels.
