SUMMARY:Letters from Lake Como and Other Approaches: Guardini and Heidegger on Technology
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nOpen to current graduate students and faculty. Advanced undergraduates and others interested in participating should contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. All registrants will receive a copy of the required reading\, which should be read in advance of the class. An optional wine and cheese reception will follow.  \nThis master class is made possible through the support of ‘In Lumine: Supporting the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on Campuses Nationwide’ (Grant #62372) from the John Templeton Foundation.  \nThis masterclass will cover Romano Guardini’s Letters from Lake Como\, written between 1923-1925\, and will focus on the relationship between technology\, human nature\, and culture. It will take a special interest in his discussion of how some modern technology disrupts man’s historical and traditional relationship to nature. Some modern technology\, Guardini argues\, makes man into a dominator of nature instead of one who works in harmony with it. This significant difference alters man’s understanding of his relationship to humanity\, to God\, and to the cosmos. \nGuardini’s critique of technology both influences and departs from Martin Heidegger’s famous treatment in his “The Question Concerning Technology.” The master class will conclude with a comparison of Guardini and Heidiegger. \nReadings:\nRequired: Guardini\, Romano. Letters from Lake Como: Explorations in Technology and the Human Race. Ressourcement : Retrieval & Renewal in Catholic Thought\, 1994. \nRecommended: Heidegger\, Martin. “The Question Concerning Technology.” In The Question Concerning Technology and Other Essays\, translated by William Lovitt\, 3-36. New York and London: Garland Punlishing Inc.\, 1977. \nThe readings will be available at Gavin House (1220 E. 58th Street) Mon-Fri\, 10am-4pm. Please email David Strobach at dstrobach@lumenchristi.org to let us know you are coming. \nSchedule:\n1:30-2:00 | Pre-event coffee and cookies \n2:00-3:20 | Session 1 \n3:20-3:40 | Break \n3:40-5:00 | Session 2 \n5:00-5:30 | Reception

SUMMARY:Getting to the Practical: Economics\, Decision Making\, and the Virtues in Catholic Thought
DESCRIPTION:This event is co-presented by the Lumen Christi Institute and Catholics at Booth. Open to students\, staff\, and faculty. Email m.lechevallier@lumenchristi.org to inquire about registration. This lunch discussion will be held at the Charles M. Harper Center. \nThis 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. \nWe often think of the virtues as moral dispositions or ethical values. In Catholic thought\, the virtues have a more mundane function\, however. They are practical\, decision-making habits for uncertain environments. When we appreciate the practical nature of virtue\, we can understand better the shortcomings of mainstream and behavioral economic models of decision making. Join for this lunchtime event as Prof. Andy Yuengert explores the interesection of economics and virtue. \n
