SUMMARY:A Final Seriousness: Wallace Stevens' Late Poems Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Cosponsored by the Program in Poetry and Poetics and the Seminary Coop Bookstore. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. \nAbout The Whole Harmonium: The Life of Wallace Stevens by Paul Mariani: \nA perceptive\, enlightening biography of one of the most important American poets of the twentieth century\, as seen through his lifelong quest to find and describe the sublime in the human experience. \nWallace Stevens lived a richly imaginative life that found expression in his poetry. His philosophical questioning\, spiritual depth\, and brilliantly inventive use of language would be profound influences on poets as diverse as William Carlos Williams\, Hart Crane\, Elizabeth Bishop\, and John Ashbery. The Whole Harmonium presents Stevens within the living context of his times\, and as the creator of a poetry which has had a profound and lasting impact on the modern imagination itself. \nStevens established his career as an executive even as he wrote his poetry\, becoming a vice president with an insurance company in Hartford\, Connecticut. His first and most influential book\, Harmonium\, was not published until he was forty-four years old. In these poems\, Stevens drew on his interest in and understanding of modernism. Over time he became acquainted with the most accomplished of his contemporaries\, Robert Frost and William Carlos Williams among them\, but his personal style remained unique. He endured an increasingly unhappy marriage\, losing himself by writing poetry in his study. Yet he had a witty\, comic\, and Dionysian side to his personality\, including long fishing (and drinking) trips to Florida with his pals and a fascination with the sun-drenched tropics. \nPeople generally know two things about Wallace Stevens: that he is a “difficult” poet and that he was an insurance executive for most of his life. Stevens may be challenging to understand\, but he is also greatly rewarding to read. Now\, sixty years after Stevens’ death\, biographer and poet Paul Mariani shows how over the course of his life\, Stevens sought out the ineffable and spiritual in human existence in his search for the sublime. \nTo view photos of Mariani’s lecture\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nYou can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music.

SUMMARY:The Gospel According to Matthew
DESCRIPTION:6:00pm Buffet Dinner  |  6:30pm Lecture \nRegistration required. Open to current students and faculty. \nSt. Matthew’s Gospel brings us into powerful contact with Israel’s longed-for Messiah and permits us to hear the voice of Jesus of Nazareth with memorable vividness. Foregrounding the Israelite language of expectation\, the narrative views Jesus as Son of Man\, Son of David\, and Son of God\, reminding us of Israel’s messianic hopes and showing us how these hopes are\, in Jesus\, both brought to fulfillment and surpassed. The course will focus on what might be called the spirituality of the evangelist\, by means of a close reading of selected passages along with brief exegetical commentary and a general discussion. \nNo prior familiarity with the texts is presumed. No class presumes attendance at any other and students are welcome to attend any or all. \nSCHEDULE \nOctober 3.  A Face as a Man — Chapters 1-3 \nOctober 10.  Salt & Light — Chapters 4-5 \nOctober 17.  Old Love & New Law — Chapters 6-7 \nOctober 24.  The Kingdom Here and to Come — Chapters 8-17 \nOctober 31.   Means and Ends — Chapters 18-25 \nNovember 7.    Betrayal — Chapters 26-27 \nNovember 14.    Victory  — Chapter 28

SUMMARY:Plato's Bedroom: Desire\, Union\, and Procreation
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Cosponsored by the Department of Philosophy. \nPlato found philosophy in some of the same erotic anxieties that permeate contemporary life\, and even explored themes central to Catholic conceptions of sexuality. This lecture will be based on central themes from Plato’s Symposium\, drawing on David O’Connor’s Plato’s Bedroom: Ancient Wisdom and Modern Love. \nABOUT Plato’s Bedroom \nPlato’s Bedroom is a book for people who want to be better at falling in love and being in love\, with all the ecstasies and dangers erotic life can bring. It is also an inviting book for readers who are intellectually playful and up for a challenge\, written with verve\, and full of stories thoughtful persons will find to be mirrors of their own erotic selves. Drawing on Greek myth\, Plato\, Shakespeare\, and a wide range of modern literature and movies\, the book gets Aphrodite talking with the young lovers in A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, and lets us listen in on Woody Allen arguing with Othello. The author’s account of how we seek\, fear\, avoid\, and sometimes destroy love\, is astonishingly fresh and engaging. \nThroughout its pages\, one hears the voice of an engaging teacher and the conversation of a wise friend. In short\, this is a work of practical philosophy\, not scholarship\, though only a scholar could have written it. It invites readers into a deep appreciation of timeless ancient wisdom through reflecting on their own powers for love and their susceptibility to desire. \nA distinctive feature of the book is the interweaving of two guiding threads in Plato’s conception of erotic experience: androgyny\, that is\, the integration of masculine and feminine; and creativity\, in both a sexual and a spiritual sense. These two aspects of Plato’s erotic vision\, androgyny and creativity\, lead readers to a sense of grateful wonder and sacred awe at our own erotic powers. Our natural experience of romantic love\, articulated so well by Plato\, points toward a more explicitly religious interpretation of love’s commitments and pleasures. The author brings out some surprising and delightful connections between Plato’s pagan eroticism and the Adam and Eve story\, Jesus’s teaching in the Gospels\, and Catholic views about marriage. \nPlato’s Bedroom will be the first book to tap into the perennial curiosity about love and sex through the enduring interest of the general reader in philosophical reflection on contemporary culture. \nTo view photos of O’Connor’s lecture\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nYou can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music.

SUMMARY:Master Class on "Plato's Leaky Myths: How the Erotic Dialogues use Plato's Literary Predecessors"
DESCRIPTION:Registration Required. Open to current students and faculty. \nThis seminar will look at striking examples of how in the Symposium and Phaedrus Plato read and re-wrote the myths available in the literary culture of his time. We will be especially interested in how the literary templates that seem to underlie the dialogues complicate their surface “doctrine.” \nSCHEDULE \n1:30pm   Coffee & Pastries\n2:00pm   Session I\n3:25pm   Break\n3:35pm   Session II\n5:00pm   End\, wine and cheese reception \nTo view photos of the master class\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page.

SUMMARY:Trinity Lutheran and the Future of Public Funding for Religious Entities: A Conversation with Richard Garnett and Andrew Koppelman
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Catholic Lawyers Guild\, the Decalogue Society of Lawyers\, the Christian Legal Society\, the American Constitution Society\, the Federalist Society\, the Notre Dame Program on Church\, State & Society\, and Jenner & Block Chicago. \nShould a religious institution be denied public funding solely because it is owned and operated by a religious entity? The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer decided that the state of Missouri violated the Free Exercise Clause by disqualifying a religious school from a state program. In this conversation\, law scholars Richard Garnett and Andrew Koppelman will discuss the reasoning employed by the majority\, the concurring justices\, and the dissent; the place of Trinity Lutheran within broader public funding jurisprudence; and the implications of Trinity Lutheran for provisions under various state constitutions that bar all public funding for religious education and religious schools. Daniel B. Rodriguez\, Dean and Harold Washington Professor at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law\, will moderate the discussion. \nSchedule \n5:00pm            Registration\n5:30pm            Introductions\n5:40pm            Conversation\n6:30pm            Audience Q&A\n6:45pm            Reception\n7:30pm            Close \nTo view photos of the event\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nYou can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music.

SUMMARY:Body\, Eros\, and Eucharist
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. \nCosponsored by the Martin Marty Center for the Public Understanding of Religion. \nAbout The Wedding Feast of the Lamb: \nIn The Wedding Feast of the Lamb\, Emmanuel Falque links philosophy and theology in an original fashion that allows us to see the full effect of theology’s “backlash” against philosophy. \n\nBy attending closely to the incarnation and the eucharist\, Falque develops a new concept of the body and of love: By avoiding the common mistake of “angelism”―consciousness without body―Falque considers the depths to which our humanity reflects animality\, or body without consciousness. He shows the continued relevance of the question “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” (John 6:52)\, especially to philosophy. \nWe need to question the meaning of “this is my body” in “a way that responds to the needs of our time” (Vatican II). Because of the ways that “Hoc est corpus meum” has shaped our culture and our modernity\, this is a problem both for religious belief and for culture. \nTo view photos of the event\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nYou can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music.
