SUMMARY:The Atomic Bomb and the Technological Imperative
DESCRIPTION:How has technology taken on a life of its own\, determining human behavior\, thought\, and actions in unintended and unexpected ways?  Using the development and use of the first atomic bombs as a defining case study\, this lecture reflects on the technological momentum that helped to usher in the nuclear age and that remains a defining and determinative feature of modern society. \nThis event is free and open to the public. It is made possible through the support of ‘In Lumine: Supporting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide’ (Grant #62372) from the John Templeton Foundation. Questions can be directed to info@lumenchristi.org. \n— \nStudents and faculty are also invited to join us Friday\, January 20 at 2PM for a master class on Hope\, Suffering and the Atom Bomb with Professor Nolan. Readings will be provided to all registrants. See our event page for more detail.

SUMMARY:Master Class on "Hope\, Suffering\, and the Atom Bomb"
DESCRIPTION:Open to current students and faculty. Others interested in participating should contact info@lumenchristi.org. All registrants will receive pdfs of the selected readings\, which should be read in advance of the class. This event is made possible through the support of ‘In Lumine: Supporting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide’ (Grant #62372) from the John Templeton Foundation \nFollowing the August 9\, 1945 dropping of the second atomic bomb ever used in a military conflict\, residents of Nagasaki responded in a unique and surprising way to the vast destruction visited upon their city. As reflected in the writings of Nagasaki radiologist Takashi Nagai\, the community emphasized peace and forgiveness\, rather than rage\, retribution\, and political activism. This class will use the example of Nagasaki to consider theologically informed perspectives on the meaning of suffering. \nREADINGS\nNagai\, Takashi. Selections from The Bells of Nagasaki.

SUMMARY:Aristotle's Great-Souled Man in Jane Austen\, Fyodor Dostoyevsky\, and Saint Augustine
DESCRIPTION:This event was co-sponsored by the Undergraduate Program in Religious Studies at the University of Chicago.  \nAugustine famous referred to the classical virtues as “splendid vices”. Although he stood in the tradition that valued virtue\, he was concerned that the pursuit of greatness through the life of virtue – a theme dating back to Aristotle’s ideal of the Great-Souled Man – could actually breed a sense of self-righteousness. Yet there is much to the Aristotelian ideal. The pursuit of greatness in the service of God seems preferable to complacent mediocrity that sadly characterizes so much of our life. This lecture\, focusing on Dostoyevsky and Austen\, seeks to discover the danger of the pursuit of greatness while examining how the category of “greatness” might be reconceived in Christian terms.

SUMMARY:Master Class on “The Myth of Unconditional Love: Augustine on the Love of God\, Neighbor\, and Self”
DESCRIPTION:Open to current students and faculty. Others interested in participating should contact info@lumenchristi.org. All registrants will receive pdfs of the selected readings\, which should be read in advance of the class. An optional wine and cheese reception will follow.  \nFollowing Kant’s insistence that individuals must be treated as ends in themselves and not means to something else\, Hannah Arendt objected that Augustine’s subordination of the love of people to the love of God did not allow a true love of one’s neighbor. Citing his distinction between love as enjoyment (frui)\, which alone applied to God\, and love as use (uti)\, which was the proper love of neighbor\, she argued that\, for Augustine\, the love of neighbor was merely a means to attain salvation for oneself. Is Augustine guilty of instrumentalizing the love of neighbors? In his system\, are individuals treated merely as objects of charity by which\, like rungs on a ladder\, the Christian ascends in virtue and merit to God? Can his absolute prioritization of the love of God as the condition for loving one’s neighbor still allow for love of the neighbor that genuinely appreciates persons as individuals? \nReadings:\nArendt\, Hannah.
