About The Event

Join Professors Dan Bonevac and Rob Koons (both of UT’s philosophy department) for a four-week discussion of the first division of Heidegger’s Being and Time, one of the most influential, controversial, and challenging texts of the 20th century. Heidegger grapples with an important and elusive question: in doing philosophy, where may we legitimately begin? What, if anything, can we take for granted? Heidegger offers an alternative to the scientism that has dominated much of Western philosophical thought for the last 300 years.

Dates: Tuesdays, March 20, 27, and April 3, 10

Few books can be so short and yet so impactful. Few people, perhaps, are as deeply insightful and as radically charitable as Bishop and Abbot Erik Varden. I am sure we don't have to convince you that the topic - chastity - is worth your time.

While the term acedia may be unfamiliar, the vice, usually translated as sloth, is all too common. Sloth is not mere laziness, however, but a disgust with reality, a loathing of our call to be friends with God, and a spiteful, bored hatred of place and life itself.
