Primer Congreso del Círculo Iberoamericano Meister Eckhart
“De la fuente misma” Lecturas del Comentario al Evangelio de Juan del Maestro Eckhart
El Comentario al Evangelio de San Juan, escrito por el Maestro Eckhart con toda probabilidad en la primera década del S. XIV, supone una de sus obras más maduras y, a la vez, controvertidas. Marca un camino a seguir que en muchos sentidos es particularmente novedoso en la época.
Así, en este comentario aparecen los grandes elementos del pensamiento eckhartiano: sus principios filosóficos, su manera de acercarse a la Escritura y de entender la relación entre razón y fe, el sentido divinizador de la encarnación, la reflexión sobre el Verbo, la procesión eterna del Hijo y el nacimiento del Verbo en el alma, la creación en y por el Verbo, la relación justo – Justicia, la unidad en Dios, etc.
Estudiosos de la obra del Maestro Eckhart, de diferentes nacionalidades y sensibilidades, hombres y mujeres, se reúnen ahora para analizar y discutir este texto fundamental desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar: teológica como filosófica, histórica como filológica. Si bien se trata de un texto latino, ha de ser entendido también en el marco de la obra alemana de Eckhart (Alto Alemán Medio – Mittelhochdeutsch), así como en el contexto de la controvertida condena papal de 1328, la cual, como puso de manifiesto el conocido Canonista alemán Winfried Trusen ya en 1988, en modo alguno afecta a la persona ni a la obra del Maestro Eckhart en su conjunto, sino más bien sólo a una posible interpretación de 28 enunciados extraídos de la misma, formulados por el autor en la forma particularmente radical – radical en todos los sentidos del término – característica de su pensamiento.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Eastern Catholic Theology on the Way of Unification
2023-09-21 09:00 - 2023-09-22 17:00 (Europe/Prague)
CALL FOR PAPERS: Eastern Catholic Theology on the Way of Unification
On September 21 to 22, 2023, an international conference will be held at Charles University in Prague on the topic of “Eastern Catholic Theology on the Way of Unification”.
This international conference is intended for everyone interested in the issues of the mutual relationship between the Christian East and West, which has crystallized in the Eastern Catholic Churches, whose identity includes elements of the Roman Catholic tradition as well as the traditions of the Eastern, Oriental Orthodox, and Eastern Orthodox Churches. The aim of the conference is to discuss the self-identification of these ecclesial communities in light of their development throughout their history. And in particular of the events preceding their unification with the Roman Catholic Church (and of course the other churches sui iuris in communion with the Roman Catholic Church) and those following. We invite contributions from theologians or clergy of these churches, as well as from all scholars interested in this topic. Our interest is to deepen the dialogue between the Christian East and West and to reveal differences, but also to find ways of mutual understanding. Topics will cover all the major theological disciplines and fields (biblical theology, practical theology, dogmatics, church history, spirituality, missiology, ecclesiastical art, etc.).
Topics
Special attention will be paid to the following thematic areas:
1. Controversial figures in church history (e.g. Nestorius, Dioscorus, Photios, Mark of Ephesus, Theodore of Mopsuestia … ) and reflections on their position in Eastern Catholic theology.
2. Eastern and Oriental theologians and their relationship to the West (e.g. Gregory of Narek, Isaac of Nineveh).
3. Historical apologies for unification (e.g. J. Bekkos, Cardinal Bessarion, P. Arcudius, …).

“Aquinas After 750 Years: Still the Common Doctor?”

Thursday, September 14, 2023 3:30 PM

A group of major scholars will treat the theme of Thomas Aquinas as the Common Doctor, each from the perspective of his or her own expertise.

What? A three-day conference on the theme on Aquinas as the Common Doctor in contemporary theology and philosophy.
Where? Dominican House of Studies (487 Michigan Ave. NE, Washington, D.C. 20017)
When? Thursday, September 14 to Saturday, September 16, 2023

ATI Summer Seminar in Asian Philosophy and Scholasticism, 2023
2023-07-13 09:00 - 2023-07-20 17:00 (Europe/Rome)
ATI Summer Seminar in Asian Philosophy and Scholasticism, 2023:
Neo-Confucians and Scholastics on Practical Reasoning, Deliberation, and Choice
Summer Seminar Date: 13-20 July 2023
Location: Pontifical University fo St. Thomas Aquinas (Rome, Italy)
Co-leaders: Fr. James Dominic Rooney, OP (HKBU) & Zemian Zheng (CUHK)
Language: English
ATI Summer School Purpose and Aims: to acquaint scholars of Asian philosophical traditions with scholastic thought, both in its original sources and in contemporary discussions incorporating appeal to scholastic philosophy, as well as to acquaint those interested in scholastic thought with Asian philosophical tradition in the same way.
2023 Theme Description:
This seminar is intended to provide a primer for graduate students on the views of the scholastics and Neo-Confucians concerning practical reasoning, deliberation, and choice, hoping to pave the way for fruitful philosophical dialogue between these important traditions by bringing together students working on projects in Asian or medieval philosophy, ethics, and metaphysics. Preference will be given to those students already working on issues associated with the theme of the seminar.
Questions of ‘free will’ have concerned metaphysicians in the West for centuries. While Confucians have not been concerned with the same questions which primarily concerned Western metaphysicians, Confucians have analyzed the moral psychology involved in decision-making and choice, being deeply concerned with the question why individuals act wrongly.
This seminar will focus on those shared background matters associated with practical reasoning, deliberation, and choice where Western medieval scholastic philosophy and Neo-Confucian Song-Ming era philosophy can offer distinct perspectives on similar issues.
Format / General Scheme:

There will be two or three sessions each day for eight days, each day alternating between instructors. Each instructor will open with a lecture, and then we will turn to a seminar-style discussion of the texts and issues at hand. In the final sessions, we will discuss how the material can be applied to each student’s particular area of interest.
The seminar will take place at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Rome. Travel stipends are available on a need basis. All accepted participants will be provided with accommodations and meals.

Fifth Annual Thomistic Philosophy and Natural Science Symposium
2023-07-12 14:00 - 2023-07-16 17:00 (America/Halifax)
Fifth Annual Thomistic Philosophy and Natural Science Symposium: Uncertainty, Confidence, and Truth in the Sciences

July 12-16, 2023 | Dominican House of Studies, Washington, DC
Are there questions that science can answer with certainty? Practicing scientists have developed technical tools for quantifying the confidence they have in their results, as well as implicit habits for distinguishing “established” science from developments still under debate. These developments give scientists confidence in their work, but it has proven difficult to consistently communicate the subtleties of their confidence to non-experts. In addition, as scientists often focus on cutting-edge and disputed topics, they are less reflective about the confidence and certainty they have in more foundational scientific claims, for instance: the existence of electrons, DNA, or cells. Philosophers of science have engaged in a wide-ranging debate on the nature of scientific claims and whether they can attain real certainty and truth, but this conversation is often foreign to practicing scientists.
This conference investigates the issues of uncertainty, confidence, and truth in various scientific disciplines and in the philosophy of science. In particular, we will investigate whether classical Aristotelian and Thomistic notions such as demonstration and necessity, as applied to the natural world, can contribute to the contemporary conversation about truth and certainty in the sciences.

Dr. Daniel DeHaan (Oxford University)
Prof. Brian Carl (University of St. Thomas, Houston)

The Thought of St. Thomas Aquinas | An Intellectual Retreat for Ireland
Glencomeragh House | Co. Tipperary, Ireland
This retreat is being offered for Trinity College and current university students in Ireland.
Step away from the daily rush of life to pray and study the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor, with the Thomistic Institute. The retreat will have seminars and discussions framed by the traditional elements of a retreat (Mass, adoration, the Divine Office, etc.).
Thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, meals and housing will be provided free for accepted applicants.
Schedule:
Begins with check-in at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, June 16th

Speakers:
Prof. Adam Eitel (Yale Divinity School) holds appointments in the Divinity School, the Program in Medieval Studies, and the Humanities Program. His research and teaching bring topics in the history of Christian theology to bear on questions of fundamental moral concern. A specialist in medieval scholasticism, his particular research interests span doctrinal and moral theology, especially in the works of Thomas Aquinas and his contemporaries. His first book, Thomas Aquinas and the Invention of the Preacher, examines the need for gifts of the Holy Spirit in light of the eliminable conditions of human folly; as this volume approaches the final stages of revision, he is also preparing a translation and critical introduction to Aquinas’s Contra impugnantes. His contributions to various journals include published and forthcoming essays in the Journal of Religious Ethics, Nova et Vetera, Studies in Christian Ethics, and The Thomist. Longer term aspirations include projects on the virtue of charity, the nature of sin, grace, eschatology, grief, and infant mortality.
Fr. Conor McDonough, O.P. (Dominican House of Studies, Dublin) is a Dominican friar from Galway. He studied science and theology at the University of Cambridge and taught theology at secondary school before joining the Dominicans in 2009. He was ordained priest in 2016 and undertook further studies in theology at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland), focussing on the writings of St Thomas Aquinas and John Calvin. He is currently based in Dublin where he teaches theology to the students at the Dominican House of Studies in Dublin.
Fr. Alan O’Sullivan, O.P. (Trinity College) is currently the chaplain of Trinity College, Dublin. He is a member of the Irish province of the Order of Preachers who studied at Blackfriars, Oxford.

Descripción:

¿Qué es el hombre? Aunque parezca una pregunta trivial, una simple mirada a la diversidad de respuestas (o incluso ausencia de ellas) que se proponen en nuestro mundo contemporáneo exige volver a pensar en profundidad qué es el hombre, cuál es su origen y cuál es su destino. En este III Encuentro universitario tomista procuraremos aproximarnos a estos problemas a la luz del pensamiento de santo Tomás de Aquino a quien san Juan Pablo II llamaba también Doctor humanitatis.
Cada día celebraremos la Santa Misa y tendremos un rato de adoración al Santísimo. Tendremos, además, la oportunidad de compartir con los profesores en un ambiente de convivencia informal.
Ponentes: Stefano Abbate, Antonio Amado, Martín Echavarría, Enrique Martínez, Lucas Prieto, David Torrijos.

Monday, June 5
7:30 PM
Blackfriars
This lecture is free and open to the public.
About the Topic:
In this talk, I will relate Aquinas’s view of faith to contemporary perspectives in analytic philosophy about epistemic justification and the epistemological status of testimony. The main question I will address is how we can be justified in believing things on the basis of divine testimony, mediated through Scripture and Tradition.
About the Speaker:
Mats Wahlberg is associate professor of systematic theology at Umeå University, Sweden. He has written two books: Reshaping Natural Theology (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) and Revelation as Testimony (Eerdmans, 2014), as well as many scholarly articles.

Philosophy, Science & Religion: Dialogue of the deaf or fruitful dialectic?
Philosophy, the natural sciences, and religion are fundamental components of every culture and human thought history. In their own way, they help man face fundamental questions about his life. Despite the differences in the methods they use and the differences in the way they perceive the world, philosophy, science and religion can and must develop a fruitful dialogue. Furthermore, reason and faith are not contradictory but complementary.

“Our God’s Brother” by Karol Wojtyła – Theatrical Performance
On 18 May, the 103rd anniversary of the birth of John Paul II, we cordially invite you to the premiere of Karol Wojtyła’s “Our God’s Brother”, directed by Jarosław Killian and performed by Angelicum students.
“Our God’s Brother” is a play written by Karol Wojtyła in the years 1944-1950. The story depicts the life of the Polish insurgent, painter, and monk, St. Brother Albert (Adam) Chmielowski. During an intensive two-week workshop students will analyze this drama and prepare for its staging under the supervision of Professor Jarosław Kilian.
The performance, which will take place on the third anniversary of the establishment of the St. John Paul II Institute of Culture, will begin at 6.00 p.m. in the Church of St. Dominic and Sixtus at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome.
Admission is free!

JP2 Lectures // Rev. Franciszek Longchamps de Bérier: “Hominum causa: ‘All Law is Established for Men’s Sake’ and the Dispute on the Essence of Man”

JP2 Lectures // Rev. Franciszek Longchamps de Bérier: “Hominum causa: ‘All Law is Established for Men’s Sake’ and the Dispute on the Essence of Man”
On Thursday, May 18, 2023, we invite you to the JP2 Lecture, which will be given by Rev. Franciszek Longchamps de Bérier, Professor of Law at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. The lecture entitled “Hominum causa: ‘All Law is Established for Men’s Sake’ and the Dispute on the Essence of Man” will begin at 4:30 p.m. (CET) in Aula 11 at the Angelicum.
Lawyers are specially trained in providing legal services. They are necessarily aware that the regulations that the law has recourse to are in fact only tools, and that the law is actually designed to promote certain values and it is these values which find their expression in the law. It was pointedly noted in 1991 that, “as history demonstrates, a democracy without values easily turns into open or thinly-disguised totalitarianism”. The experience of the enormous change in political systems which took place in late twentieth-century Europe led the author of this observation to further comment: “Authentic democracy is possible only in a state ruled by law, and on the basis of a correct conception of the human person”. The first part of this last citation is best known and often repeated. It is the second, however, that touches the main problem of our times, i.e. anthropology. How should one respect human beings as bearers of rights? Is there any correct anthropology, the only correct anthropology to be used as a basis for law?

Centenaires de la Canonisation, de la Mort et de la Naissance de Saint Thomas d’Aquin
2023-05-09 08:00 - 2023-05-12 17:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
Centenaires de la Canonisation, de la Mort et de la Naissance de Saint Thomas d’Aquin
9 mai 2023-12 mai 2023
Toulouse, France
Langue: Français
Les années 2023, anniversaire de sa canonisation (18 juillet 1323), 2024, de sa mort, et 2025, année de sa naissance (1225) seront la triple occasion de revenir sur Thomas d’Aquin (1225 1274), cette figure centrale de la chrétienté médiévale au XIII siècle. Celui qui est devenu le « docteur commun de l’Église » et le principal théologien de l’Ordre dominicain fait l’objet depuis le XIV siècle d’un culte toulousain puisque le pape Urbain V a laissé à la « ville rose », aux Jacobins, ses reliques (1368).
Trois volets caractérisent cette triple célébration : spirituelle et liturgique, artistique et musicale, intellectuelle et culturelle. C’est pourquoi avec le soutien de la ville de Toulouse, les Jacobins, la province dominicaine de Toulouse, le couvent provincial saint Thomas d’Aquin et son studium, la Revue thomiste et l’Institut saint Thomas d’Aquin, l’Institut Catholique de Toulouse organiseront les manifestations indiquées dans ce programme. Spécialistes de l’art, de la pensée, de la culture, philosophes et théologiens, durant ces trois années se relaieront pour éclairer et analyser la signification actuelle d’une pensée et d’un religieux du XIII siècle dans la pensée européenne.
