Language: English
Although repudiated today by all serious historians of science, the concept of an eternal and inescapable conflict between science and religion remains strong among the general public as well as among a large number of scientists. This talk will begin by examining the historical origins of the concept, showing how it emerged from a constellation of political, social, and
peculiar personal circumstances of the late 19 th century. It will then explore the resilience of the concept and how, why, and by whom it has been perpetuated down to the present day, and suggests some means by which it could be more effectively countered.
About the Speaker: Lawrence M. Principe is the Drew Professor of Humanities at Johns Hopkins University in the Departments of History of Science and Technology and of Chemistry. He holds a Ph.D in Organic Chemistry from Indiana University, Bloomington, and a Ph.D. in History of Science from Johns Hopkins. His research focusses on late Medieval and early modern alchemy/chemistry and the interactions of science and religion. His recent books include The Scientific Revolution: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford, 2011), The Secrets of Alchemy (Chicago, 2013), and The Transmutations of Chymistry: Wilhelm Homberg and the Académie Royale des Sciences (Chicago, 2020). He also produced the 12-lecture course “Science and Religion” for The Teaching Company. He is the recipient of the Francis Bacon Medal (2005), the Franklin-Lavoisier Prize (2016), the American Chemical Society’s HIST Award (2020) and the St. Albert the Great Award from the Society of Catholic Scientists (2020) for his scholarly contributions.

Course by Visiting Professor: Rémi Brague
2023-03-23 10:30 - 2023-03-31 16:30 (Europe/Rome)
JP2 STUDIES COURSE
Course by Visiting Professor: Rémi Brague
This week, we welcome Rémi Brague, renowned philosopher and Ratzinger Prize laureate, as Visitng Professor at the Angelicum. Professor Brague will teach an intensive course titled “Europe’s Philosophical Identity” as part of the 2nd Cycle in Philosophy and of the JP2 Studies program run by the St. John Paul II Institute of Culture. The course will begin on March 23 and continue until March 31. Angelicum students are invited to audit the lectures.
Course description:
Europe is clumsily groping for her political identity. Her far older cultural identity looks easier to assess. Yet, the question of what European culture might be deserves asking. I suggest to look for the sources (not “roots”) of said identity in the basic experiences of the world which are summarized in the names “Athens” and “Jerusalem”, and in the way both were mediated by the Roman experience. Europe’s cultural identity proves to be eccentric: the points of reference are neither inside of the European space nor already given. They have to be acquired by learning. Hence an uninterrupted series of “Renaissances”.

This lecture is free and open to the public.
About the Speaker:
Fr. Innocent Smith, O.P. is Assistant Professor of Homiletics at St. Mary’s Seminary and University. His research interests are at the intersection of liturgy and theology, including sacramental theology, homiletics, liturgical manuscripts, ecclesiology, and sacred music. He is a Roman Catholic priest and a member of Province of St. Joseph of the Order of Preachers. He is presently assigned to the Dominican community of Sts. Philip and James in Baltimore, MD.
Smith’s forthcoming monograph, “Bible Missals and the Dominican Liturgy,” focuses on medieval bibles which contain liturgical texts for the celebration of the Mass. The liturgical selections contained in bible missals give precious insight into both the development of the celebration of the liturgy as well as the processes of customization and design of medieval bibles. Bible missals present a fascinating example of the interpenetration of memory and enactment, enabling the celebration of the mysteries articulated in the biblical text.

A passionating history, which has be seen as the ideal self-made man, or the genius prevailing against all odds.
Reliably Gerbert was noble and cadet, monk and mathematical genius, so he could move from Aurillac to Catalunya around 969, were he met the mozarabic science world and developed some original algorithms either in mathematics and in music, as in the treatises on the Abacus and on the Orgue’s tubes lengths, written in Reims where he was called as scholarch since 972 by Archbishop Adalbero. In 991 he become Archbishop of Reims after the discussed deposition of Arnulf. Pope John XV did not accept such deposition and Gerbert went to the court of the young Emperor Otto III to be his teacher. He encouraged the election of Bruno of Carinthia, Gregory V, cousin of Otto III, to strengthen the relationship between Church and Empire. Gregory moved the exiliated archbishop Gerbert from Reims to Ravenna, and his sudden death in 999 determined the election of Gerbert to the Roman Pontificate. Never before such a prominent scholarly figure, renowned in all Europe for his science, become Pope (999-1003). During his papacy the young Emperor died in January 1002 and the political situation in Rome remained in strong tension, but respected the wise Pope.
The historiography on Gerbert assumed some mithological elements due to the uncommon genius, until 1640, after Baronius, when the Polish Dominican Bzovsky wrote a first biography based on his works and letters. In XIX century his mathematical works were reviewed by Bubnov and in XX century his music works come out thanks to Sachs. The astronomy of Gerbert was known and studied as well, and his Epistolarium edited in several languages (Pratt Lattin in English, Pierre Riché in French, Panvini Carciotto in Italian). Flavio Nuvolone in Switzerland promoted the studies on Gerbert of Aurillac since 1983 to his death 2019: they are in the books in Italian “The Number and The Cross” (2012) and “From Gerbert to Sylvester II” (2013), were he was able to decodificate the underlying text in the Carme Figuratum, about the first introduction in Europe of Hindu-Arabic numbers, by Gerbert.

E-séminaire de Philosophie
Nicolas Tenaillon
17 April to 12 June, 2023
DESCRIPTION
To know the stakes of the question of the animal today, in particular the recent discoveries of ethology, the place which one gives to the animal in the process of hominization, the new rights which one grants to him since one recognizes his sensitivity and his suffering, the morals which that induces in our behavior with regard to the alive ones, the relevance (or not) of the movements “vegan”, of the parties “animalists”, of the antispeciesism, the concern caused by the reduction of the biodiversity.
OBJECTIVES
1. To show that humans cannot do without animals for reasons that are not only useful (food, work, research) but also metaphysical.
2. To know how to distinguish conceptually what makes the specificity of the animal, the difficulty of classifications, to become aware of the problem of biodiversity and the arguments of veganism, anti-speciesism, animalism while keeping a critical sense with regard to certain theories.
3. To show that a theology of the animal remains to be written.

E-SÉMINAIRE : KANT ET LE PRIMAT DU DEVOIR (E-SEMINAR: KANT AND THE PRIMACY OF DUTY)
2023-04-17 09:00 - 2023-06-12 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
E-SÉMINAIRE : KANT ET LE PRIMAT DU DEVOIR (E-SEMINAR: KANT AND THE PRIMACY OF DUTY)
DATE OF THE SEMINAR: April 17 to June 12, 2023
Course Code: SEM87
Professor: Dr Matthieu Dubost
PRESENTATION OF THE SEMINAR:
The approach proposed here will be articulated in four steps. If Kantian thought has often been criticized, it has often been done superficially and mainly by opposing it to the needs of subjectivity and the sensitive disappointments to which such a morality gave rise. Without neglecting these remarks, it is undoubtedly important first to note what in his doctrine can be accepted as necessary elements for any valid ethics. This reading will then have to distinguish the weak criticisms from those to which the Kantian edifice resists badly, and above all to note in Kant himself the tensions and weaknesses caused by the primacy of duty. This will give rise to a negative or critical demonstration of the insufficiency of Kantian duty as an exclusive basis for ethics. This will be our second step.
Our interest in more contemporary critiques will essentially lie in their more unitary conception of the person, a difficulty on which E. Kant stumbled. By aiming at a more dualistic anthropology, we will continue the critique started in the second stage while giving ourselves the means to go towards another morality.
It is then, in a fourth and final step, that we will take into account an “ethics of the conatus”, that of Ricoeur. We will discuss his ability to positively demonstrate the validity of an ethics of desire, or teleological ethics, which does not, however, claim to be an anthropology of desire. It will be necessary to discern what in him is a valid and argued answer to Kantian difficulties, from what is perhaps more properly a pre-philosophical choice with the weaknesses that this implies. This reading will also have to take into account the way in which one can situate duty within an ethics where it is not primary.
THE STAGES OF THE SEMINAR:
Stage 1: Kant – Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals
Stage 2: Kant – “Dialectic of Pure Practical Reason”, Critique of Practical Reason
Stage 3: Hegel and Schiller
Step 4: Ricoeur

E-SÉMINAIRE : SOULÈVEMENTS, INSURRECTIONS ET RÉVOLUTIONS (E-SEMINAR: UPRISINGS, INSURRECTIONS AND REVOLUTIONS)
2023-04-17 09:00 - 2023-06-12 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
E-SÉMINAIRE : SOULÈVEMENTS, INSURRECTIONS ET RÉVOLUTIONS (E-SEMINAR: UPRISINGS, INSURRECTIONS AND REVOLUTIONS)
DATE OF THE SEMINAR: April 17 to June 12, 2023
Course Code: SEM089
Professor: Dr. Maxime Allard O.P.
DESCRIPTION
Uprisings, insurrections and revolutions. Some believed that after the fall of the Berlin Wall, these types of events would have belonged to the past, to a bygone political era, to a completed, accomplished understanding of history. However, in recent years, these types of events have been returning. Some people are happy about it; others deplore it. The terms are resurfacing and circulating again, variously connoted, and used by various social groups, the media, and the political class. Calls, expectations and hopes in this sense abound in certain sectors. Publications and perspectives are multiplying. Often the questions of violence, non-violence, civil disobedience, the “proper” place of passions and emotions in politics are invited into the discussion. Sometimes, also, on this occasion, the so-called “liberal” democracy is questioned. All this takes place in complex relationships with history, with representations (arts, speeches, symbolic gestures…).
This seminar intends to offer and build, patiently, a philosophical sounding board to understand these events and to explore what is at stake regarding politics. It will do so on two axes. The first, more historical, will follow Aristotle’s reflections on the experiences of stasis; the Machiavellian and Hobbesian tumults; the differences between the American and French revolutions (Arendt); communist and anarchist meditations on the revolutions of the 19th century (Marx, Lenin, Bakunin, Kropotkin, etc.) and/or on the insurrections to come (Invisible Committee). The second axis will be built more conceptually from contemporary authors (Georges Didi-Huberman, Antonio Negri, Jacques Rancière, Agamben, and others).
OBJECTIVES
To introduce some philosophical gestures that have taken revolutionary, insurrectionary and uprising phenomena seriously
To think about what is at stake in the understanding of politics and democracy.
To think philosophically about contemporary events by drawing critical inspiration from ancient and modern proposals
Sketch out avenues for answering or rephrasing the following question: “How can we understand the surprise of many people in a liberal democracy when faced with the social and political phenomena that the terms ‘uprising’, ‘insurrection’ and ‘revolution’ designate?
Attempt to specify and articulate the terms “uprising”, “insurrection” and “revolution” and various ways of representing them, of putting them in discourse and in “scene”.

E-SÉMINAIRE : LA THÉOLOGIE TRINITAIRE (E-SEMINAR: TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY)
2023-04-17 09:00 - 2023-06-12 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
E-SÉMINAIRE : LA THÉOLOGIE TRINITAIRE (E-SEMINAR: TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY)
Du 17 avril au 12 juin 2023
Code du cours: SEM030
Professeur : Ma Jacques Fournier
Course Code: SEM030
TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN AND THE NEW TESTAMENT
Faith in the One God runs through the whole Bible (Dt 6,4-9; 2Sm 7,22; 1R 8,60; Is 44,6-8; 45,5-6.14,22; 48,10-12…). It is of course taken up by Jesus himself (Mk 12:28-34 and parallels) and the authors of the New Testament (Jn 5:44; 17:3; Rom 3:30; 16:27; Gal 3:20; 1Cor 8:4; 1Tm 1:17; 2:3b-6)…
But on the mountain of the Transfiguration, the light of the Son dazzled St. John, the voice of the Father reassured him and in his Gospel, he will lead us into the Mystery of this eternal Relationship that was manifested in Jesus, the Christ, between the Son of God and his Father… And such is the heart of his discovery, exposed from the first line of his work: “the Word”, the Son, the Word of the Father, “is God”, and before all “beginning”, he is “near God” the Father, turned “towards” Him, living in relationship with Him… We will see to what extent our Nicene Constantinopolitan Creed is present in this Gospel of John, in his Letters but also in the works of St. Luke and St. Paul.
With them, we will also discover the foundations of the Revelation of the Holy Spirit, also true God, and we will see, especially with St. John, what is his work today towards every man of good will…

E-SEMINAR : PROCLAIMING HOLY SCRIPTURES
2023-04-17 09:00 - 2023-06-12 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
E-SEMINAR : PROCLAIMING HOLY SCRIPTURES
by David Pereyra
From 17th April to 12th June 2023
Course code: SEM72
BRINGING A SACRAMENTAL EXPERIENCE TO THE CONGREGATION
DESCRIPTION
Christians define the Liturgy of the Word as an act of worship consisting mainly of scriptural readings, preaching, and prayers. In this way, each liturgy nourishes worshippers from the table of God’s word.

E-SEMINAR: LEARNING TO DWELL
2023-04-17 09:00 - 2023-06-12 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
E-SEMINAR: LEARNING TO DWELL
by Jaco Kruger
From 17th April to 12th June 2023
Course code: SEM84
DESCRIPTION
The fundamental thesis underlying this seminar is that there exists a kind of fittingness – even stronger, an affinity – between philosophy and ecology that invites us to think of these two disciplines together and in relation. Philosophy is occupied with the “big questions” of life and existence; its approach is often speculative and generalizing. Philosophy is the ongoing attempt to see the biggest picture, and to integrate all of experience into such a big picture. In this sense the Greek root word from which the word ecology stems is very appropriate: oikos – the house, the household, the dwelling place. Philosophy is about “learning to dwell,” to use a formulation of Martin Heidegger. What does it mean to be at home in the world? How should humans be at home in the world? And how should we live in our common home? Ecology, for its part, has since the middle of the 20th century as a discipline moved closer and closer to the life sciences and the natural sciences. But the fundamental philosophical presuppositions of ecology remain an open question. And the environmental catastrophe that is slowly unfolding in the 21st century affirms the intuition that the worldviews and philosophical presuppositions of the late-capitalist world must urgently be revisited. Making use of resources from process philosophy and from the work of Martin Heidegger, this seminar contributes to the discussion surrounding the characteristics of an integral ecology (Laudato Sí) by attempting an ecological introduction to philosophy.
OBJECTIVES
To introduce philosophy as the human search for a home in the world
To highlight the philosophical roots of the current ecological crisis
To contribute to the philosophical foundations of integral ecology as called for in the papal encyclical, Laudato Sí

The St. John Paul II Institute of Culture is an interdisciplinary scientific and didactic institution established at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome on the centenary of the birth of John Paul II. The mission of the Institute is to reflect on the most important problems of the contemporary Church and the world inspired by the life and thought of St. John Paul II.
Thus, the Institute’s aim is not only to study the achievements of the Great Pope, but also to think with him about the most important issues of spiritual culture, e.g. solidarity, mercy, Christian art, the place of the Church in the modern world or the spiritual crisis of Europe.
The Institute is co-managed by the Saint Nicholas Foundation (publisher of Teologia Polityczna) and funded entirely by private donors from Poland. We warmly invite you to join their ranks!

CALL FOR PAPERS – The Concept of “Ius” in Thomas Aquinas
2023-04-21 08:30 - 2023-04-22 17:00 (Europe/Rome)
The Concept of Ius in Thomas Aquinas
CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline: 15 December 2022
Language: English and Italian
Aims of the Conference
The Conference intends to explore the Thomistic concept of ius as it is presented in Thomas Aquinas’s treatise on ius and iustitia in the Secunda Secundae of the Summa Theologiae, that is, as the object of the virtue of justice and as the just thing itself (ipsa res iusta). This analysis takes into consideration the entirety of Aquinas’s account of lex from the Prima Secundae of the Summa Theologiae, as this account is interrelated with his understanding of lex as a ratio of ius (S. Th. II-II, q. 57, a. 1, ad 2). The Conference also aims to analyze the inherent connection between justice which has ius as its object—what might be called a juridical aspect of iustitia—and broader issues of the salvific and moral aspects of justice.
To complete this analysis, it is necessary to inquire into Aquinas’s historical and doctrinal sources, the relevant texts in which he elaborates his account of ius, justice, and lex, as well as the reception of his juridical thought down the centuries until the present day. To this end, the Conference will also reflect on contemporary assessments of the tension between the objective and subjective meanings of ius both in Aquinas’s thought and in the Thomistic tradition. In addition, the Thomistic foundations of the notion of ius and of the virtue of justice will be explored, together with research into the interconnectedness between justice, the concept of good, and practical reasonableness.
The Conference aims to show how the analysis of the Thomistic concept of ius, rather than being only of historical interest, may prove to be fruitful for present-day issues in legal theory, as well as for a dialogue with contemporary legal-philosophical conceptions of the juridical phenomenon, law, and rights. While recognizing the relevance of this fruitfulness for the life of law at all levels of research, the Conference highlights the particular relevance of the Thomistic vision of ius for the social teaching of the Catholic Church and for canon law.

JP2 Lectures // Fr. Thierry-Dominique Humbrecht O.P.: Le statut de la métaphysique chez Thomas d’Aquin
2023-04-21 16:30 - 18:30 (Europe/Rome)
JP2 Lectures // Fr. Thierry-Dominique Humbrecht O.P.: Le statut de la métaphysique chez Thomas d’Aquin
On Friday, April 21, 2023, we invite you to the eighth JP2 Lecture, which will be given by fr. Thierry-Dominique Humbrecht O.P. The lecture entitled “Le statut de la métaphysique chez Thomas d’Aquin” (“The status of metaphysics in St. Thomas Aquinas”) will begin at 4:30 p.m. (CET) at Aula 10 at the Angelicum in Rome.
Unsurprisingly, St Thomas’ doctrine and its sources are well-known. However, it seems more difficult, but also more necessary, to situate metaphysics in his work: its status and function. Is it but a simple reappraisal of Aristotle or of the Neoplatonists? Is it but a doctrine about “being”? Above all, is it a science in itself, that is to say, entirely separated from and existing before theology? The question becomes all the more complex, but also fascinating, because of the interweaving of metaphysics with the requirements of Christian theology. It is all about questioning the links between reason and faith, as Veritatis splendor and Fides et ratio invite us to do. Are they distinct, though complementary and harmonious, or are they intertwined and stimulating each other?
The link to the broadcast will be provided soon.
The lecture will be given in French (no translation provided).
Thierry-Dominique Humbrecht: a Dominican friar, holds a doctorate (qualified to direct research) in philosophy and a doctorate in theology. He is a professor at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Institut Catholique de Toulouse, and also teaches at the Institut Saint-Thomas d’Aquin and in other places.

Christology in Literature
Hoynack Archive Center | Hillsdale College | Hillsdale, MI
Christ is the Word spoken by the Father. He is revealed to us in the Scriptures and points to Himself as a principle by which the Christian should “read” experience, history, and reality.

Drs. Justin Jackson (Hillsdale College), Michael Mack (Catholic University of America), and Thomas Pfau (Duke University) will address these questions at the Hillsdale Thomistic Institute’s Christology in Literature conference, examining the theology of literature and exploring the approach that both literary movements and particular authors take regarding Christology.
