SUMMARY:Non-Credit Course | Science and Religion: Historical and Philosophical Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nThis event is in-person only. Intended for university students\, faculty\, and staff. Others interested in attending please contact dstrobach@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. \nRegistrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose. Sessions do not presuppose previous attendance or prior knowledge of the subject. \nIt is often assumed\, on the basis of contemporary controversies\, that science and religion have always been in an oppositional relationship\, and that conflict between them is inevitable.  In this course we will consider the long history of science-religion relationships\, exploring the ways in which religious factors played a positive role in the emergence of modern science\, and were important in establishing a permanent and prominent place for scientific activity at the heart of modern Western culture. Specifically\, the course will consider how the very ideas of ‘science’ and ‘religion’ came to take on their present form\, while examining historical episodes such as the Galileo affair\, the publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species\, and the nineteenth-century invention of the conflict thesis.  We will also discuss how historical insights can provide resources for helping understand present relations between science and religion. \nSCHEDULE  \nOctober 8th: The Boundaries of Science & Religion \n\nFurther Reading: Harrison\, Peter\, Territories of Science and Religion ch 1 and 2.\n\nOctober 15: Religion and the Rise of Science \n\nFurther Reading: Harrison\, Peter\, ‘Christianity and the Rise of Western Science’\, ABC Religion and Ethics\, 8 May\, 2012.\nFurther Reading: Harrison\, Peter\, Territories of Science and Religion\, ch. 3.\n\nOctober 22: Exemplars of Conflict: Galileo and Darwin \n\nFurther Reading: Graney\, Christopher\, ‘Opposition to Galileo was Scientific\, not just Religious’\, Aeon Magazine\, 21 September\, 2016.\nFurther Reading: Dixon\, Thomas and Adam Shapiro\, Science and Religion\, chs. 2 & 4.\n\nOctober 29: Science and Modern Naturalism \n\nFurther Reading: Harrison\, Peter\, Some New World\, Introduction.\n\nFORMAT \nTuesdays\, October 8-October 29\n6:00pm: Dinner\n6:30pm: Presentation

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:Is Christianity a Slave Morality? Max Scheler on Ressentiment
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nOpen to current graduate students and faculty. Advanced undergraduates and others interested in participating should contact dstrobach@lumenchristi.org. This event is in-person only. All registrants will receive copies of the selected readings\, which should be read in advance of the class. An optional wine and cheese reception will follow.  \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. \nIn his book Ressentiment\, the German philosopher Max Scheler deepens Nietzsche’s account of ressentiment\, the life-denying disposition of spite\, envy and revenge. Nietzsche finds this spiritual sickness to be the inner secret of so-called Christian love\, which is really an expression of weakness. Scheler turns this account upside down\, and finds Christianity a life-affirming doctrine that elevates its adepts into generosity and strength. Scheler also sharply distinguishes Christian love from egalitarian humanitarianism. Sometimes called “the Nietzschean Catholic\,” Scheler is thus a helpful guide for thinking through the quarrels that are emerging today between the neo-pagan\, online Right\, which takes its bearings from Nietzsche\, and the nascent revival of orthodox Christianity. Scheler equips us to see some overlap in the intuitions of these camps\, and to retrieve a more aristocratic and virile strand in the Christian tradition. It is a strand that can speak to our present discontents\, and to the pervasive sense of civilizational collapse. \nReadings:\nWe will read Max Scheler’s Ressentiment\, which may be found here  \nThe master class will focus on: \n\nCh. 1\nCh. 3\nCh. 4\n\nIf you prefer\, you can pick up a printout of the readings 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. \nDiscussion Questions Forthcoming\nSchedule:\n11:30-12:00 | Optional pre-event lunch \n12:00-1:20 | Session 1 \n1:20-1:40 | Coffee break \n1:40-3:00 | Session 2 \n3:00-3:30 | Reception

SUMMARY:Greek New Testament Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nOpen to current students and faculty at the University of Chicago. Participants can come to whichever sessions they choose. Others interested in participating should contact Joe Haydt at jhaydt@uchicago.edu. Lunch will be provided.  \nWe will work through the Greek text of chapters eight and nine of the Gospel of Luke. Particular attention will be paid to the narrative structure of these chapters. Participants with all levels of Greek are welcome to attend. Lunch will be provided by the Lumen Christi Institute. \nSCHEDULE:\nThis group will meet every Tuesday (beginning October 15th) from 1pm – 2pm. \n\nThe University of Chicago is famous for its graduate student reading groups\, in which students pursue their own intellectual interests among friends in an informal setting. The Lumen Christi Institute supports this endeavor by sponsoring a number of graduate student reading groups each quarter. LCI provides space\, hospitality\, and books. \nReading groups cover the whole spectrum of ideas. Texts do not need to be explicitly Catholic\, though we follow St. Paul’s injunction to attend to whatever is true\, noble\, right\, admirable\, and lovely (Phil 4:8). Groups follow LCI’s guiding principles\, which… \n\n\nAffirm the intellectual life as good in itself \n\n\nAsk questions animated by the principle that “all knowledge forms one whole” \n\n\nTranscend the ideological / political divide (i.e.\, programs should not be partisan in nature) \n\n\nWelcome religious perspectives as part of the intellectual life (i.e.\, programs need not be theological in nature but conversations should be open to religious insights) \n\n\nNurture friendships\, to support the pursuit of truth\, beauty\, and goodness (i.e.\, programs should have a social component)

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

SUMMARY:Greek New Testament Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nOpen to current students and faculty at the University of Chicago. Participants can come to whichever sessions they choose. Others interested in participating should contact Joe Haydt at jhaydt@uchicago.edu. Lunch will be provided.  \nWe will work through the Greek text of chapters eight and nine of the Gospel of Luke. Particular attention will be paid to the narrative structure of these chapters. Participants with all levels of Greek are welcome to attend. Lunch will be provided by the Lumen Christi Institute. \nSCHEDULE:\nThis group will meet every Tuesday (beginning October 15th) from 1pm – 2pm. \n\nThe University of Chicago is famous for its graduate student reading groups\, in which students pursue their own intellectual interests among friends in an informal setting. The Lumen Christi Institute supports this endeavor by sponsoring a number of graduate student reading groups each quarter. LCI provides space\, hospitality\, and books. \nReading groups cover the whole spectrum of ideas. Texts do not need to be explicitly Catholic\, though we follow St. Paul’s injunction to attend to whatever is true\, noble\, right\, admirable\, and lovely (Phil 4:8). Groups follow LCI’s guiding principles\, which… \n\n\nAffirm the intellectual life as good in itself \n\n\nAsk questions animated by the principle that “all knowledge forms one whole” \n\n\nTranscend the ideological / political divide (i.e.\, programs should not be partisan in nature) \n\n\nWelcome religious perspectives as part of the intellectual life (i.e.\, programs need not be theological in nature but conversations should be open to religious insights) \n\n\nNurture friendships\, to support the pursuit of truth\, beauty\, and goodness (i.e.\, programs should have a social component)

SUMMARY:Non-Credit Course | Science and Religion: Historical and Philosophical Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nThis event is in-person only. Intended for university students\, faculty\, and staff. Others interested in attending please contact dstrobach@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. \nRegistrants are free to attend as many sessions as they choose. Sessions do not presuppose previous attendance or prior knowledge of the subject. \nIt is often assumed\, on the basis of contemporary controversies\, that science and religion have always been in an oppositional relationship\, and that conflict between them is inevitable.  In this course we will consider the long history of science-religion relationships\, exploring the ways in which religious factors played a positive role in the emergence of modern science\, and were important in establishing a permanent and prominent place for scientific activity at the heart of modern Western culture. Specifically\, the course will consider how the very ideas of ‘science’ and ‘religion’ came to take on their present form\, while examining historical episodes such as the Galileo affair\, the publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species\, and the nineteenth-century invention of the conflict thesis.  We will also discuss how historical insights can provide resources for helping understand present relations between science and religion. \nSCHEDULE  \nOctober 8th: The Boundaries of Science & Religion \n\nFurther Reading: Harrison\, Peter\, Territories of Science and Religion ch 1 and 2.\n\nOctober 15: Religion and the Rise of Science \n\nFurther Reading: Harrison\, Peter\, ‘Christianity and the Rise of Western Science’\, ABC Religion and Ethics\, 8 May\, 2012.\nFurther Reading: Harrison\, Peter\, Territories of Science and Religion\, ch. 3.\n\nOctober 22: Exemplars of Conflict: Galileo and Darwin \n\nFurther Reading: Graney\, Christopher\, ‘Opposition to Galileo was Scientific\, not just Religious’\, Aeon Magazine\, 21 September\, 2016.\nFurther Reading: Dixon\, Thomas and Adam Shapiro\, Science and Religion\, chs. 2 & 4.\n\nOctober 29: Science and Modern Naturalism \n\nFurther Reading: Harrison\, Peter\, Some New World\, Introduction.\n\nFORMAT \nTuesdays\, October 8-October 29\n6:00pm: Dinner\n6:30pm: Presentation
