The Christian Literary Imagination Series

Over the course of the 2020-2021 academic year, the Future of the Humanities Project is sponsoring a series of webinars on the Christian literary imagination in collaboration with Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford. The ‘Christian Literary Imagination Series’ will explore the role and function of the arts and humanities in the development of the individual and society.
The series features talks by distinguished scholars from both sides of the Atlantic discussing authors or works from Shakespeare to Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Each speaker aims to examine the term ‘Christian imagination’ through a discussion of a particular writer, or an aspect of the term. The hour-long virtual events will be followed by a Q & As chaired by Professor Michael Scott.
In this second event of the series Rev Dr Paul Edmondson, Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, talks about Shakespeare.
This event is free and hosted on Zoom by Georgetown University.

Teleology in Physics and Biology Location : Live-streamed online
2021-03-12 14:30 - 2021-03-13 17:30 (Europe/Rome)
Teleology (goal-directedness) originated in the western world with Plato and Aristotle. Like virtually everyone before the modern age, they agreed that the purposefulness of nature was self-evident. However, with the advent of the scientific revolution, the reality of inbuilt finality was first questioned and then rejected by mainstream philosophy and science

The discussion will be led by Edward Hadas, Research Fellow at Blackfriars Hall, Oxford. His book Counsels of Imperfections: Thinking Through Catholic Social Teaching was published in the autumn by Catholic University of America Press. He is also a financial journalist who writes regularly for Reuters Breakingviews.
Participation in the group is free and open to all. Registration is required.

Counsels of Imperfection: Thinking Through Catholic Social Teaching
2021-03-02 18:00 - 19:30 (Europe/Paris)
Counsels of Imperfection: Thinking Through Catholic Social Teaching by Edward Hadas
For more than a century, the teaching authority of the Catholic Church has attempted to walk along with the modern world, criticizing what is bad and praising what is good. Counsels of Imperfection described the current state of that fairly bumpy journey.
The book starts with an introduction to ever-changing modernity and the unchanging Christian understanding of human nature and society. Then it moves to areas of concern for the Social Teaching: a) economic issues, including a careful delineation of the Catholic response, past and present, to socialism and capitalism; b) government, including Church and State, war and peace, and quick takes on democracy, human rights, the welfare state, crimes and punishments (including the death penalty), anti-Semitism, and migration; c) ecology, including a discussion of the human role in creation and an enthusiastic analysis of Francis’s “technocratic paradigm”; d) family teaching, which presents the social aspects of the Church’s sexual teaching; and e) a historical overview and the ambiguous Catholic appreciation of the modern idea of progress.
For each topic, Counsels of Imperfection provides biblical, historical and a broad philosophical background. Thomas Aquinas appears often, but so does G. W. F Hegel. The goal is not only to explain what the Church really says, but also how it got to its current position and who it is arguing with. In the spirit of a doctrine that is always in development, Counsels of Imperfection points out both strong-points and imperfections in the teaching.
The book’s author, Edward Hadas is a Research Fellow at Blackfriars Hall, Oxford. His book Counsels of Imperfections: Thinking Through Catholic Social Teaching will be published in the autumn by Catholic University of America Press. He is also a financial journalist who writes regularly for Reuters Breakingviews.
The online event is free and open to all. Registration is required.
