D. C. Schindler: On Experience and Reason

28 Tuesday Dec 2010

Posted by Communio in DC Schindler, Experience, Philosophy

≈ Comments Off on D. C. Schindler: On Experience and Reason

D. C. Schindler (bio). On Experience and Reason, from the Summer 2010 issue.

From the text:

While the conventional contemporary view of the world conceives of thought as opposed to, or at any rate outside of, reality, the classical worldview understands thought as a deepening of the real, and therefore as a bringing of experience to fruition. From this perspective, we would say that experience becomes more truly itself the more it is truly penetrated by mind, which would make sense, of course, only if it were true to say that experience as such were in some sense intelligent from the beginning. (full text)

 

Also by D.C. Schindler:

Freedom Beyond Our Choosing: Augustine on the Will and Its Objects (2002). Surprised by Truth: The Drama of Reason in Fundamental Theology (2004). “‘Wie kommt der Mensch in die Theologie?’: Heidegger, Hegel, and the Stakes of Onto-Theo-Logy.” (2005). The Redemption of Eros: Philosophical Reflections on Benedict XVI’s First Encyclical. (2006). Truth and the Christian Imagination: The Reformation of Causality and the Iconoclasm of the Spirit. (2006). Why We Need Paul Claudel. (2007). Restlessness as an Image of God. (2007). Why Socrates Didn’t Charge. Plato and the Metaphysics of Money. (2009).

Robert Spaemann at the John Paul II Institute

08 Thursday Apr 2010

Posted by Communio in Natural Law, Philosophy, Robert Spaemann

≈ Comments Off on Robert Spaemann at the John Paul II Institute

German philosopher Robert Spaemann will deliver the 2010 McGivney Lectures at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. next week (April 12, 14, and 16, 2010). He will speak on “Nature and Natural Law in the Present Cultural Situation: Issues Concerning the Dignity of Human Life.”  Details can be found here.

Monday, April 12: 7 pm. Human Dignity and Human Nature
Wednesday, April 14: 7 pm. The Paradoxes of Love
Friday, April 16: 4 pm. Is Brain Death the Death of a Human Person?

The John Paul II Cultural Center is located at 3900 Harewood Road in Northeast DC, next to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

Readers of Communio will already be familiar with Spaemann’s articles Rationality and Faith in God (pdf, 2005), Begotten, Not Made (pdf, 2006), When Death Becomes Inhuman (pdf, 2006) and the interview ‘An animal that can promise and forgive.’ (pdf, 2007).

As a preview of the forthcoming issue on Silence and Prayer, here is another Spaemann article for you to enjoy. First published in the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung in 2005, we make it available in English for the first time here: How Could You Do What You Did? (pdf), an examination of the concepts of shame and shamelessness.

Local readers are invited to attend the lectures, which will be held in the auditorium of the John Paul II Cultural Center. Tickets are required. Call 202-526-3799 for information and reservations.
