SUMMARY:Symposium on "Action versus Contemplation: Why an Ancient Debate Still Matters"
DESCRIPTION:Listen to the symposium as a podcast episode. You can subscribe to the Lumen Christi Institute Podcast via our Soundcloud page\, iTunes channel\, Stitcher\, TuneIn\, ListenNotes\, Podbean\, Pocket Casts\, and Google Play Music. \nTo view photos of the symposium\, visit Lumen Christi’s Facebook page. \nA symposium on the recent book Action versus Contemplation: Why an Ancient Debate Still Matters (University of Chicago Press\, 2018) by Jennifer Summit and Blakey Vermeule. Free and open to the public. Persons with disabilities who may need assistance should contact us at 773-955-5887 or by email. \nCosponsored by the English Department\, the Seminary Coop Bookstore\, the University of Chicago Press\, the Our Sunday Visitor Institute\, and the Theology Club at the Divinity School. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event. \n“All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone\,” Blaise Pascal wrote in 1654. But then there’s Walt Whitman\, in 1856: “Whoever you are\, come forth! Or man or woman come forth! / You must not stay sleeping and dallying there in the house.” \nIt is truly an ancient debate: Is it better to be active or contemplative? To do or to think? To make an impact\, or to understand the world more deeply? With Action versus Contemplation\, Jennifer Summit and Blakey Vermeule address the question in a refreshingly unexpected way: by refusing to take sides. Rather\, they argue for a rethinking of the very opposition. The active and the contemplative can—and should—be vibrantly alive in each of us\, fused rather than sundered. Writing in a personable\, accessible style\, Summit and Vermeule guide readers through the long history of this debate from Plato to Pixar\, drawing compelling connections to the questions and problems of today. \n\n\n\n\n“Though the book will be valuable to a wide readership\, the recurring theme of current trends in education makes it particularly important within the academy. This engaging and clever book will generate important conversations. Highly recommended.”\nChoice\n\n\n\n\n\n“A fascinating and inspiring tour of big ideas–worth both contemplating and acting on.“\nSarah Bakewell\, author of At the Existentialist Cafe\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Action versus Contemplation brings a cooling sense of balance to a whole range of important and often highly polarized arguments about technology\, work\, education\, and more. How liberating to discover that we don’t need to choose between nostalgia and philistinism\, Captain Ludd and Dr. Pangloss. Even better\, the authors give us not just historical elaborations of the theoretical complementarity of action and contemplation\, but actual\, already-existing examples of the middle position at work today. They show us that\, no matter how ‘soulless’ society seems to become\, meaning-seeking behavior does and always will continue.”\nWilliam Deresiewicz\, author of Excellent Sheep\n\n\n\n\n\n“This is a very subtle and surprising book that nevertheless goes down easy because you expect it to take a side in a binary (i.e.\, to take your side)\, but instead it seeks to transcend that binary. There’s great generosity of spirit in their writing and thinking\, and that generosity will have a salutary effect on all those whose thinking this book will touch. Action versus Contemplation is itself a contemplative document meant to intervene in the world it addresses\, to get us to rethink practical matters\, and to act in ways that will promote thinking. It urges action as a way of thinking\, and thinking as a way of acting\, and is a model of what it advocates for.”\n\nWilliam Flesch\, Brandeis University

SUMMARY:Lumen Christi Institute - Young Catholic Professionals Great Books Seminar: The Novel and the Crisis of Faith
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION IS FULL.\nThe Lumen Christi Institute is proud to announce a new program in partnership with the Chicago chapter of Young Catholic Professionals (YCP). The 2019 Lumen Christi Institute – Young Catholic Professionals Great Books Seminar is an adult educational initiative aimed at equipping Catholic professionals 40 and under with a deeper understanding of the Catholic intellectual and literary traditions. Participants will gather monthly downtown for guided discussions on excerpts from celebrated texts as they work through a syllabus crafted by seminar leader Fr. Paul Mankowski\, SJ\, Lumen Christi’s scholar-in-residence. \nThis year’s theme is “The Novel and the Crisis of Faith.” The late 19th and 20th century novel provided Christian authors with a genre through which to examine the conflict of faith in Christ with vastly strengthened anti-Christian forces in politics\, culture\, and society. The examination of the fictional depiction of the dynamics of salvation and damnation will aim at deepening our own understanding of the ways in which faith simultaneously engages the world while it disentangles itself from worldliness. The discussions are to focus on relatively short selections (40 – 90 pages) from the assigned novels\, although participants are encouraged to read the works in their entirety. \nTo view the syllabus\, which you will also receive upon registering\, click here. \nThe cost of seminar registration covers refreshments\, drinks\, and course materials for the eight seminar meetings from February to September. Registration will close when 35 participants have signed up and is is available on a first-come\, first-served basis; 20 seats will be reserved for members of YCP Chicago. Registrants need not attend every session in order to register; they must still pay the full cost of registration. Registrants may choose to purchase books on their own rather than via Lumen Christi (see pricing below). \nDates: \nFebruary 20\nMarch 21\nApril 25\nMay 22\nJune 26\nJuly 24\nAugust 21\nSeptember 25 \nSchedule: \n5:30pm – beer\, wine\, and heavy hors d’oeuvres social\n6pm – seminar begins\n7pm – seminar ends \nPrice: \nWith books\, for YCP Chicago members or those who sign up for membership: $100\nWith books\, for non-YCP Chicago members: $380\nWithout books\, for YCP Chicago members or those who sign up for membership: $50\nWithout books\, for non-YCP Chicago members: $280 \nWith any additional inquiries please contact Michael Bradley at mbradley@lumenchristi.org.
