SUMMARY:Ens Morale: The Scholastic Metaphysics of Morals
DESCRIPTION:Late scholastic reflection on cognitional being generated a parallel and consequential question: what is the distinctive metaphysical status of moral acts precisely as moral? The various schools proposed competing solutions under the heading of ens morale.

Cyril and Methodius\, Pittsburgh\, will deliver this lecture at 4pm\, Tuesday the 16th of June. The event is free and open to everyone\, no registration is required. \nMatthew Minerd\, is a Ruthenian Catholic\, husband\, and father\, serving as a professor of philosophy and moral theology at the Byzantine Catholic Seminary of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Pittsburgh.

SUMMARY:MacIntyre in the Conflicts of Modernity
DESCRIPTION:The Aquinas Institute are co-sponsoring a conference with the Canterbury Institute\, and The Centre for Theology\, Law\, and Culture at Pusey House\, on 11 and 12 June at Campion Hall\, Christ Church\, and Pusey House. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe death of Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (12 January 1929 – 21 May 2025) provides all who are indebted to his work with an opportunity to consider how he has made them rethink those areas of philosophy to which he made outstanding contributions. This conference considers how we ought to commemorate the work that MacIntyre began\, whether that be by developing and deepening it\, by refining and correcting what he overlooked or dismissed\, or by sharply disagreeing with the positions he held. It will consider how his work provokes us to redefine our positions in light of the arguments he made.  As he wrote in his last book: ‘In philosophy it is only rarely that anyone or any argument has the last word. Debate almost always continues\, and this is notably so with the topics and issues with which I am concerned in this book’ – MacIntyre\, Ethics in the Conflicts of Modernity (2016).  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers include: Professor Jason Blakely\, Pepperdine; Dr Dominic Burbidge\, Regent’s Park; Professor David Cloutier\, Notre Dame; Professor John Cottingham\, Reading; Dr Daniel De Haan\, Blackfriars & Campion; Professor Anne Jeffrey\, Baylor; Professor Christopher Kaczor\, Loyola; Andreas Masvie\, Christ Church; Professor Melissa Moschella\, Notre Dame; Professor Stephen Mulhall\, New College; Professor Mark C.

SUMMARY:Care and Filial Piety as burdened virtues
DESCRIPTION:Care ethicists have long called for a shift from an individualist society to a more communitarian one. Only this\, they argue\, will ensure the vulnerable among us are taken care of and their caregivers protected from exploitation. Even if care ethics is right that the ideal society is a communitarian one\, however\, it does not follow that just any communitarian society is ideal. Notably\, many East Asian societies influenced by Confucianism live out two key care ethical ideals\, namely a recognition of the self as fundamentally relational and an acceptance that unchosen relationships can nonetheless generate obligations. Despite this\, however\, caregivers in the East face their own challenges and examining the challenges these real life communitarian societies face with can be instructive for developing care ethics’ ideal of a fully supportive society. In this paper\, I examine care and filial piety the west and the east\, showing how they can each be burdened virtues for caregivers in their respective societies. Ultimately\, I argue that the fact that these parallel analyses can be made despite western and eastern societies’ opposite focuses on individualism and?communitarianism shows that communitarianism itself cannot be the full solution. A host of other safeguards need to be further developed\, such that filial piety in the?East?and?care in the?West?may be?unqualifiedly?virtues?in their cultural contexts. \nSara Chan\, University of Scranton\, will deliver this lecture at 5pm\, Monday the 8th of June. The event is free and open to everyone\, no registration is required. This lecture is part of our Trinity series\, see the other talks below. \nSara Chan is an Assistant Professor at the University of Scranton. Her research interests lie in ethics\, social epistemology and the philosophy of religion. She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Notre Dame\, where she was the recipient of two graduate fellowships. Prior to that\, she graduated from the University of Oxford with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and the University of St. Andrews with a master’s degree in philosophy and psychology. She publishes on the philosophy of disability and has spoken at conferences across the world. \nUpcoming events in this series\nMatthew Minerd\, Seminary of Ss.

SUMMARY:Man's Terrible Dignity as God's Honour Bearer
DESCRIPTION:It is a grave responsibility to represent someone else\, to speak and act in another’s name. The honour and reputation of the represented is vicariously liable for the words and deeds of his representative. How much graver is the responsibility then when the authority represented is the Author of creation\, and when the reputation made liable to vicarious defamation belongs to the Lord of heaven and earth. For Thomas Aquinas\, this is precisely the terrible dignity and responsibility of the Image Bearer. Created with the special dignity of being ministers of divine governance\, participating in divine providence as rationally provident for self and others\, the image bearer is an agent of divine honour\, who\, whether he realizes it or not\, acts in the name of God and so is responsible to God for his actions. Virtuous actions are thus best understood as participating in God’s honourable goodness such that they become a co-operation of honourable friendship  between God and his honour bearers. \nFr Dominic Verner OP\, Providence College will deliver this lecture at 4pm\, Wednesday the 29th of April. The event is free and open to everyone\, no registration is required. This lecture is part of our Trinity series\, see the other talks below. \nFr Dominic Verner OP is an Assistant Professor at Providence College. After earning a B.S. in electrical engineering from Purdue University and an M.A. in philosophical studies from Mount St. Mary’s University\, Fr. Dominic Verner\, O.P. entered the Order of Preachers and was ordained to the priesthood in 2016. He earned an S.T.L. from the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception and a Ph.D. in moral theology/Christian ethics from the University of Notre Dame\, where he wrote his dissertation ‘Saving Honor: A Thomistic Ethics of Honor’. His research and teaching interests especially concern the motivational role that honour\, reputation\, and social recognition play in practical reason and how the doctrine and example of Christ norm the pursuit of these goods. Fr. Dominic favours an interdisciplinary approach to these and related questions concerning honourable human agency\, seeking to engage Thomistic anthropology and action theory with contemporary social theory\, psychology\, and neuroscience. \nUpcoming events in this series\nJohn Berkman\, University of Toronto; Visiting Fellow\, Campion Hall\,\n4pm\, Tuesday 19 May: ‘Christian Life Beyond Virtue: Aquinas on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit’ \nSara Chan\, University of Scranton\n5pm\, Monday 8 June: ‘Care and Filial Piety as burdened virtues’ \nMatthew Minerd\, Seminary of Ss.

DESCRIPTION:Realism about a certain kind of ‘abstract object’\, namely\, universals or properties\, has been thought to pose a problem for theism.  To be a realist about universals or properties is just to believe that they exist.  First\, I talk about two different kinds of reason to believe in them\, which lead to two different roles they are supposed to play.  For the sake of argument\, I’ll assume they’re both good reasons.  Does realism about universals lead to a problem for theism — for a certain specific kind of theism\, one that says only God exists ‘a se’\, not dependent upon anything?  We’ll look at two arguments that say there would be a bad kind of circle of dependence.  Paying attention to the two roles universals are supposed to play will show that the two arguments fail\, for two different reasons.  The arguments were developed before the relatively recent growth of the ‘grounding’ literature; but they have to do with inadmissible grounding structure; so I’ll be connecting these debates\, which make use of notions of priority\, to the metaphysics of grounds. \nIn this lecture\, distinguished professor Dean Zimmerman\, Rutgers\, will speak at the Blackfriars Aula\, 3pm 11 March.

SUMMARY:Sin\, Sacraments\, and the New Left
DESCRIPTION:Jack Norman (Blackfriars)\, ‘McCabe’s Social Ontology: Sin\, Sacraments\, and the New Left’\nHerbert McCabe OP’s thought was shaped by and phrased in Marxist social theory\, and he shows undeniable sympathy to Marxism. This has been picked up by several recent writings on McCabe. However\, read in context\, I will show that McCabe gave a critical account of Marxism that is embedded in his theology of sin and of grace\, and an ecclesiology that challenges the possibility of a non-Christian community flourishing. In an Augustinian manner\, McCabe thought that without the Church\, and the sacraments\, and certainly without grace\, communities inevitably turn against themselves. As such\, a secular Marxism cannot achieve its own aims. They might be able to diagnose problems but cannot bring about a harmonious society. Thus\, while Marxism influenced McCabe’s thought from his social theory even into his sacramental theology\,  his Marxism is always secondary to his theological convictions.  This\, in turn\, will raise broader theological questions of the kinds of societal progress that can be achieved in light of an account of nature and grace. \nDr Jack Norman is a Research Fellow at Blackfriars Hall. Before that\, he was a Research Fellow at Australian Catholic University. He completed his AHRC funded PhD at the University of Bristol in 2019. His research focuses on systematic theology\, especially a group of theologians sometimes called the ‘Grammatical Thomists’\, including thinkers such as Herbert McCabe OP and David Burrell CSC. He is currently writing articles on Thomism and realism\, and Marxism and Christianity. \nPart of this term’s lecture series\, Thursdays at 5pm unless otherwise noted\, presenting the breadth of Thomistic thought and its applications.

SUMMARY:Studying Aquinas in an Aquinas-like Manner
DESCRIPTION:Liam McDonnell (Blackfriars)\, ‘On Studying Aquinas in an Aquinas-like Manner’\nBeginning in the twelfth century\, scholastic theologians started to write in a new genre: the summa. The stated intention behind the creation of the summa was\, in the words of Hugh of St Victor\, to furnish a unified account of ‘all theology’ in one book. This newly holistic exposition of theology enabled the mutually dependent connections between different areas of theology to be tested\, examined and integrated to a hitherto unprecedented extent. Thomas Aquinas stands firmly in this tradition\, his Commentary on the Sentences\, Summa Contra Gentiles and Summa Theologiae all having been written with the same ambitious\, panoramic scope adopted by earlier pioneers of the summa genre. Even works of Aquinas on more specific subjects\, such as De Malo\, turn out to be very wide ranging in ambit\, examining the interrelated connections between various ideas in detail. Paradoxically\, much recent scholarship on Aquinas tends to take a very different approach to that of Aquinas himself\, attempting to give an account of Aquinas’s thought on a single specific issue\, narrowly construed\, and in relative isolation from adjacent questions. In this way\, much recent research now presents Aquinas in a way which is contrary to how Aquinas wrote and intended his books to be read. With reference to specific examples\, I argue that not only are these methods un-Aquinas-like; they tend to yield inaccurate results\, suffering from a narrowness of purview which the format in which Aquinas wrote was designed to prevent. The study of Aquinas on the salvation of those in involuntary ignorance of the Gospel is a subject which is well placed to aid a retrieval of research into Aquinas which is more holistic and Aquinas-like in the breadth of its perspective\, and more historically accurate in its conclusions. \nDr Liam McDonnell is Junior Research Fellow at Blackfriars Hall\, Oxford. He completed his DPhil in Theology at Blackfriars: he was the Scovil scholarship holder and Junior Dean. His DPhil was on the history in medieval theology of the question of the salvation of those who are ignorant of the Gospel through no fault of their own. He locates the development of the pertinent questions in their historical contexts\, and shows how they served as key test cases for the harmony between broader theological themes of divine justice\, love\, grace and human free will. He teaches as an associate staff member at the Maryvale Institute. \nPart of this term’s lecture series\, Thursdays at 5pm unless otherwise noted\, presenting the breadth of Thomistic thought and its applications.

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence in a Thomistic Key
DESCRIPTION:Fr Joseph LaracY (Seton Hall University)\, ‘Ontological\, Anthropological\, and Ethical Reflections on Artificial Intelligence in a Thomistic Key’\nThis lecture offers a Thomistic retrieval of perennial metaphysical and moral insights for contemporary reflection on artificial intelligence. Drawing on Thomas Aquinas and modern Neo-Thomist interlocutors such as Stanley Jaki\, OSB\, it considers ontological questions concerning the nature of AI\, anthropological questions regarding its relation to human intelligence and agency\, and ethical questions surrounding its design\, use\, and governance. It further situates these reflections within the horizon of Catholic Social Teaching\, highlighting its resources for evaluating the societal implications of emerging AI technologies. \nJoseph R. Laracy (S.T.D. Pontifical Gregorian University) is a priest of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark and serves as associate professor and chairman of the Department of Systematic Theology at Seton Hall University\, New Jersey\, USA. He is also affiliated with the Seton Hall Department of Mathematics and Computer Science\, the Program in Catholic Studies\, the University Core Curriculum\, and the University Honors Program. Father Laracy is the author of Theology and Science in the Thought of Ian Barbour: A Thomistic Evaluation for the Catholic Doctrine of Creation (Peter Lang\, 2021) and the co-editor with Paul Haffner of 2015 Stanley Jaki International Congress (Gracewing\, 2020).  He is currently on a research sabbatical with the Faculty of Theology and Blackfriars Hall at Oxford University. \nThis event is part of this term’s lecture series\, Thursdays at 5pm unless otherwise noted\, presenting the breadth of Thomistic thought and its applications.

SUMMARY:Can we BioTechnologically Construct a Morally Better Human?
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I comparatively analyze traditional indirect means of moral enhancement\, such as moral education within families and wider societies\, with direct biotechnological means that affect a moral agent’s cognitive and emotive capacities. I raise several concerns with the latter and call for enhancing traditional methods of moral education. Nevertheless\, certain methods of bioenhancement could facilitate\, and not undermine\, one’s agency\, autonomy\, and authenticity by aligning their first- and second-order desires. Yet\, even if there are principled reasons to allow for\, or even encourage\, such forms of moral bioenhancement\, there are various practical concerns that may be insurmountable when such means are made available on the open market. \nThis is the third lecture in a series delivered by the Aquinas Institute visiting fellow Professor Jason Eberl\, Saint Louis University. \nTo register\, follow the link

SUMMARY:Thomism and Transhumanism: Can Biotechnology enhance Human Flourishing?
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I critique transhumanism\, which denies any objective account of human nature and flourishing in favour of “morphological freedom” to reshape ourselves in any way one chooses so long as it does not harm others. I also critique those who reject any non-therapeutic interventions that could alter allegedly definitive qualities of human nature. I then ethically assess proposed forms of human enhancement from the anthropological and moral perspective developed by Aquinas and various subsequent Thomists. I contend that certain “moderate” forms of human enhancement may be conducive to human flourishing\, as Thomistically defined\, while others would be deleterious to a human being’s self-identity and flourishing as a living\, sentient\, social\, and rational animal. Even if such moderate forms of enhancement are in principle permissible\, significant practical concerns may ultimately undermine their ethical viability. \nThis is the second lecture in a series delivered by the Aquinas Institute visiting fellow Professor Jason Eberl\, Saint Louis University. \nTo register\, follow the link \nupcoming Lectures in this series\nCan We BioTechnologically Construct a Morally Better Human?\nWednesday\, 3 December 5pm\, Blackfriars Hall – Aula

SUMMARY:What is the True Death of a Human Being?
DESCRIPTION:The debate regarding the validity of the use of neurological criteria to determine death – so-called “brain death” – has been central to the field of bioethics since its inception. At the root of this debate are several philosophical claims regarding the definition of human personhood and criterion of personal identity\, concepts such as “organism as a whole” and “irreversibility\,” and whether death should be understood as a strictly biological or a partially socially constructed fact. The brain death debate has been re-energized by recent cases involving apparent post-brain death survival\, calls to revise the Uniform Determination of Death Act\, and the development of a novel means of organ procurement known as normothermic regional perfusion following circulatory determination of death. This presentation revisits the arguments for and against brain death\, defending not only the conceptual validity of brain death\, but also its marking the true death of a human being. \nThis is the first lecture in a series delivered by the Aquinas Institute visiting fellow Professor Jason Eberl\, Saint Louis University. \nDr Michael Wee will respond. \nTo register\, follow the link \nupcoming Lectures in this series\nThomism and Transhumanism: Can Biotechnology Enhance Human Flourishing?\nTuesday\, 25 November 5pm\, Blackfriars Hall – Aula \nCan We BioTechnologically Construct a Morally Better Human?\nWednesday\, 3 December 5pm\, Blackfriars Hall – Aula

SUMMARY:'Giving Wisdom to Little Ones' (Ps. 18: 8)
DESCRIPTION:2024 Aquinas LecturE\n‘Giving Wisdom to Little Ones’ (Ps. 18: 8): St. Thomas Aquinas\, Doctor of the Little Way\nFrom the life and writings of St Thomas Aquinas\, it will be argued that humility\, best exemplified according to Jesus by the little child (cf. Matthew 18: 3)\, is necessary for the attainment of wisdom.  The testimony of the Lord is faithful\, giving wisdom to little ones (Psalm 18: 8).  This humility\, therefore\, combined with the purity of heart\, of which we have spoken\, and the great assiduity in holy prayers\, made Thomas’s soul docile and tender both to receive and to follow the impulses and illuminations of the Holy Spirit\, in which the substance of contemplation consists (Pope Pius XI\, Studiorum ducem (1925\, for the 700th anniversary of St Thomas’s birth). \nThis year’s lecture is given by Fr John Saward in the Aula at Blackfriars Hall followed by a wine reception. \nAll are welcome. Registration is required\, please email aquinas@bfriars.ox.ac.uk.
