Thomas Jay Oord, theologian, philsopher, scholar of research across multi-discipline research Human Flourishing - Lecture, Nov. 27, 2018 - Notre Dame

Most people today affirm the central role of love for human flourishing. But what is love? Love can be defined variously in terms of desire, feelings, relationships, sex or romance, or as whatever produces well-being. Moreover, different disciplines provide their own often conflicting perspectives on love. Without a definition applicable across disciplines, it is difficult to see how significant progress can be made in understanding and promoting love research for human flourishing. Thomas Jay Oord offers and defends a definition of love he believes can propel love research across theological, scientific, and philosophical disciplines. 

Time: Tuesday November 27, 2018, 5:15 P.M. - 6:45 P.M. 

Location: Lecture – 155 DeBartolo Hall, Campus

A founding member of the board of the Society of Catholic Scientists, he is also an associate faculty member in the University of Chicago divinity school.

Disease and the Problem of Evil

annual Edison Series lecture

Ivan Karamazov asked whether we can accept a world in which God allows children to suffer. His question is a powerful version of the ancient question: if God exists and is both perfectly and all powerful, whence comes evil? Sick children — and adults, for that matter — put this question into sharp focus, but also add another, seemingly paradoxical dimension to it. If we are made in the image of God, and if being fully human means to be true to our natures, then how can we account for the occurrence of deadly diseases and the suffering that results from them? In this talk, Dr. Meredith will turn to the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas to help address these questions.

Dr. Meredith’s lecture follows the 5:15 p.m. Gold Mass for scientists and engineers celebrated at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, and a reception in the Jordan Hall galleria at 6:15 p.m.

Named for the color of the hoods worn by individuals graduating with a Ph.D. in science, gold is also the color of the patron saint of scientist St. Albert the Great.
