SUMMARY:The Boldness of Belief and Timidity of Technology: A Symposium on Gratitude\, Creation\, and the Technological Mindset
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE FOR ZOOM LIVESTREAM \nREGISTER HERE FOR IN-PERSON \nOpen to students and faculty. For more information\, contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. \nThis event is cosponsored and supported by the University of Chicago John U. Nef Committee on Social Thought. It is also cosponsored by The Point Magazine. 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. \nIn his Introduction to Christianity\, Joseph Ratzinger saw that at the root of the “technological mindset” was an anxiety about how man can come to know the world.  Ratzinger contrasted the technological orientation to the world with an orientation of belief. Belief was not incomplete or provisional knowing\, but a trustful standing upon and loyalty to that which is given by Creation. \nIn this symposium\, Matt Crawford and Mark Shiffman will come together to discuss the problem of virtue in light of Ratzinger’s distinction. Crawford will begin by exploring how the virtue of gratitude often eludes us under a technological mindset. A better approach is to boldly entrust oneself to that which one cannot make or fully grasp. \nMark Shiffman will respond by using this same distinction between technocracy and givenness to and explain the difference between optimism and hope. Melanie Barrett will also offer comments. \nOn Saturday\, Matt Crawford and Mark Schiffman will lead a Master Class on Max Scheler’s work\, Ressentiment.

SUMMARY:Literary Traditions and the Pursuit of Truth: A Culture of Humility - A Catholic Vision of Culture in the 21st Century | West Suburban Catholic Culture Series
DESCRIPTION:The West Suburban Catholic Culture Series Fall 2024\nA Catholic Vision of Culture in the 21st Century\nREGISTRATION\n(Business casual attire encouraged. For questions\, please email Marial Corona at mcorona@lumenchristi.org). \nSchedule: 6:30 p.m. Drinks | 7:00 p.m. Dinner\, Lecture\, & Q&A | 8:30 p.m. End \nOctober 16th:\nLiterary Traditions and the Pursuit of Truth: A Culture of Humility\nEmily Austin (University of Chicago)\nThe challenges of our times can make Christians feel embattled and besieged. But the Catholic intellectual tradition\, at its best\, equips us to look with openness for the Truth\, incarnate in the world around us. In this lecture\, Prof. Emily Austin will share her perspective as a classicist\, reading within a literary tradition. To read within a tradition requires patience and attentiveness\, allowing each text to teach you how to read anew. She will argue that a Catholic literary culture requires—and fosters—humility. The pursuit of Truth is most productively sought\, in a literary context\, within a community of friends \nSERIES DESCRIPTION \nWestern culture owes a great deal to Christianity\, but Christianity does not require any culture\, as a culture\, to be built with Christian materials. This does not reflect a weakness or defect in Christianity. It is a consequence of its genius. Christianity can and should inform every human undertaking. In this series\, we’ll explore various arenas where human existence is played out and discover how Christianity can transform them. Our point of departure is Remi Brague’s reflection “From What is Left Over\,” which takes as its inspiration Pope Benedict’s “The Roots of European Culture.” \n  \nCALENDAR \nSeptember 25: What is Catholic Culture?\nJennifer Newsome Martin (University of Notre Dame) \nOctober 16: Literary Traditions and the Pursuit of Truth: A Culture of Humility\nEmily Austin (University of Chicago) \nNovember 20: The Story of Catholic Education: Renewing Our Schools\, Renewing Our Culture\nMichael Naughton (University of St. Thomas) \nFebruary 27: Journalism and Catholic Culture – CANCELLED\nJD Flynn (The Pillar) \nMarch 20: On Work\nPaul Blaschko (University of Notre Dame) \nApril 24: A Catholic Vision of Sports\nClark Power (University of Notre Dame)

SUMMARY:Virtue\, Moral Formation\, and the University
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE FOR IN-PERSON \nREGISTER HERE FOR LIVESTREAM \nOpen to students and faculty. For more information\, contact gzokal@lumenchristi.org. \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. \nAs scholars such as Julie Reuben have documented\, there has been a decline in the mission of moral formation of students over the history of US higher education and this role of the university is no longer to be taken for granted. What role\, if any\, does the university play in the moral formation of its students? Is moral formation beyond the bounds of its mission or is it inescapable? What virtues are formed in the modern university? This public panel\, part of the Annual Meeting of the In Lumine Network\, will serve to provide a broad conversation about the role of the university in regard to virtue and moral formation. \nImage courtesy of: Hanna Holborn Gray Special Collections Research Center\, University of Chicago Library
