SUMMARY:A Philosophy of Work\, Leisure\, and Catholic Culture - A Catholic Vision of Culture in the 21st Century | West Suburban Catholic Culture Series
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\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 \nMarch 20: A Philosophy of Work\, Leisure\, and Catholic Culture\nPaul Blaschko (University of Notre Dame)\nIn his well-known and influential essay\, Leisure: The Basis of Culture\, Josef Pieper claims that we in modern western society have come to inhabit a “world of total work\,” and that an essential precondition for escape is recapturing a more ancient notion of “leisure” (in Greek: scholê\, in Latin: otium). \nWhile much has been said in support of this claim\, especially in Catholic intellectual circles\, the focus has typically centered on the nature of leisure\, which much of this dialogue takes as the starting point. In this lecture\, Prof. Blaschko\, who studies the philosophy of work at Notre Dame\, will proceed in a different direction\, asking “What kind of culture\, and what kind of work culture\, would we create if we wanted to incorporate genuine leisure into our lives?” \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.” \nSPRING SCHEDULE \nMarch 20: On Work\nPaul Blaschko (University of Notre Dame) \nApril 24: A Catholic Vision of Sports\nClark Power (University of Notre Dame) \nMay TBD

SUMMARY:Polarization\, Social Cohesion\, and the Economy
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE for IN PERSON \nREGISTER HERE for ONLINE  \n\n\nFor more information\, contact gzokal@lumenchristi.org   \nWith polarization on the rise around the globe\, scholars have pointed to a broader fragmentation of social cohesion. Economics\, sociology\, theology and philosophy offer different entry points for exploring these problems. How might we better understand this global moment? This marks the 5th anniversary of Pope Francis’s social encyclical\, Fratelli Tutti\, which sought not only to diagnose these problems\, but to also offer moral responses for all people of good will. How might principles derived from Catholic social teaching\, such as solidarity\, human dignity\, and “the preferential option for the poor” operate within local and national economies to contribute towards a greater common good? \nThis event is on Thursday March 27th\, 2025\, from 5:00 to 6:30 PM and is free and open to the public. Attendees should enter via the South Dorchester Avenue doors.  \nThis event is cosponsored by the Catholic Research Economists Discussion Organization (CREDO)\, the International House Global Voices Program\,\, the Becker Friedman Institute for Economics at the University of Chicago\, and the Alliance for the Social Market Economy.  \nPersons with disabilities who may need assistance should contact International House in advance of the program at (773) 753-2274 or email i-house-programs@uchicago.edu \n \n \n \n  \n \n
