SUMMARY:2021 Newman Forum Summer Institute
DESCRIPTION:In-person summer experience for high school students exploring truth\, goodness\, and beauty at Mundelein Seminary \nPresented by the Lumen Christi Institute’s Newman Forum. Open to current high school students and incoming college freshman only. This seminar is cosponsored by the University of Saint Mary of the Lake at Mundelein Seminary\, and the Archdiocese of Chicago Vocation Office.  \n\nDRIVING QUESTIONS\n“It is through wonder that men now begin and originally began to philosophize; wondering in the first place at obvious perplexities\, and then by gradual progression raising questions about the greater matters too…”   -Aristotle\, Metaphysics 982b \n“The Christian remains the guardian of that metaphysical wonderment which is the point of origin for philosophy and the continuation of which is the basis of its further existence. Wonderment is constantly on the point of turning into a marveling at the beauty of existence as a whole…”    \n-Hans Urs von Balthasar\, The Glory of the Lord: A Theological Aesthetics\, Volume V\, The Realm of Metaphysics in the Modern Age \nPhilosophy begins in wonder: How can I explain what I see\, put words to what I feel\, or communicate what seems inexpressible?  \nLooking out at the world\, one wonders: Is there some order to the universe and to my soul? Or is it all random?  \nWe wonder most of all about the true\, the beautiful\, and the good: Is there such a thing as Truth? Beauty? Goodness?  There must be\, but so many people disagree! How can one talk about the reality of concepts that seem so hotly contested? \nOVERVIEW\nIn this 4-Day Summer Institute\, high school students will be introduced to the disciplines and distinct methodologies of philosophy and theology through college-level lecture and discussion of the three “transcendentals” of truth\, goodness\, and beauty. Figures under consideration will include Plato\, Aristotle\, Augustine\, Bonaventure\, Aquinas\, Newman\, Ratzinger\, von Balthasar\, as well as relevant biblical texts. \nWe will balance academic formation with spiritual formation\, focusing on themes of discernment\, vocation\, and the practices that comprise an intellectually informed and responsible life of faith. In addition to a balance of the spiritual and intellectual\, we will also balance work and play. Mornings will be devoted to lectures and discussion\, with afternoons and evenings filled with excursions and fun programming (including a trip to Six Flags!) \n>> CLICK HERE TO APPLY << \nApplications are now closed. Check back next Spring 2022 for information on the 2022 Summer Institute! \n\nSCHEDULE\n\n\n\n    \n   THURSDAY\, JULY 8 \n    Day 1 — Student Arrival \n4:00pm Check-In (Building E\, Main Entrance) \n\nRoom assignments\nTime to settle in\n\n5:00pm Welcome Mass (Building E\, Chapel) \n6:00pm Dinner (Building B\, Dining Hall) \n7:00pm  Icebreakers & House Rules (Building N\, Classrooms) \n8:00pm  S’Mores (Fire Pit) \n9:00pm Night Prayer (Building E\, Chapel)\n    \n   FRIDAY\, JULY 9 \n    Day 2 \n7:30am Morning Prayer (Building E\, Chapel) \n8:00am Breakfast (Building B\, Dining Hall) \n9:30am Morning Class (Building N\, Classooms) \n\n30 min.
