FYE Human Well-Being
This course provides a critical investigation into the quest for meaning and happiness as found in the Catholic tradition. Beginning with fundamental Catholic claims about what it means to be a human being, this course explores the call to beatitude in materials from several disciplines, including theology, philosophy, literature, and art, as well as ancient, medieval, and contemporary sources. Topics explored include a consideration of human persons in relation to divine persons, the supernatural end to human life, the human person as experiencing desire and suffering, the Christian paradox that joy may be found in the giving of one's self, and the search for happiness through friendship and love. Through all these topics, the course particularly examines the question, "What is the specifically unique character of Christian happiness?"

This course explores from an interdisciplinary perspective the history of the Catholic Church as it interacts with the secular world and is shaped by its dominant personalities and events. No other institution in history has survived, and flourished, for so long and in the face of so many challenges. This course will critically reflect upon the history of the Church, from its origins in the Apostolic Age to the modern period, as a series of cycles with a common pattern of creativity, achievement, and retreat. Students may expect to complete the course with an awareness and understanding of the major personalities and events, secular and ecclesial, that have shaped the life of the Church.

This course provides an investigation into the ways in which Catholicism is inherently social and ecclesial. Its specific focus is on the Christian engagement with the world. The course's framework will be taken from the analysis of society into three spheres of action (culture, politics, and economics) as described in Centesimus annus. We will examine the ways that Revelation, the sacramental life, and the teachings of the Church call Catholics to seek holiness and to witness to their faith in the world. Specific topics may include social and economic justice, politics and public policy, lay and religious apostolates, education, and marriage and family. Course materials may include resources from philosophy, theology, history, economics, and political science.

At the center of the Catholic vision are the two great works of divine love: creation and redemption. This course considers the implications of these divine works for a radical reconsideration of the world and the human person. Students will examine characteristic Catholic approaches to and emphases concerning creation, redemption and ecclesiology, and discuss how Catholic understandings of creation and redemption inform, respond to, and critique Catholic practices in various cultural settings. In addition, the course will compare and contrast contemporary Catholic cultural monuments with that produced in earlier eras, and compare and contrast Catholic Christianity with other forms of Christian and non-Christian belief and practices. In illustrating its themes, the course draws upon sources in art, literature, history, philosophy, and theology with special attention given to the intellectual, spiritual, and cultural consequences of Catholic doctrine.

This course takes an interdisciplinary look at a central figure in Catholicism—Mary, Mother of God. Drawing on philosophy, theology, poetry, music, and the visual arts, the course examines three key moments in Mary’s life as mother: the Annunciation, the Nativity, and the Stabat Mater. These culturally and historically diverse depictions of Mary set the stage for an investigation into the meaning of her role, within Catholicism as a whole and within the lives of individual Christians.

This interdisciplinary course continues the exploration of the relations between faith and culture begun in Catholic Thought and Culture I, beginning with the medieval period up until the present day. Students will engage areas of artistic expression (literature, music, visual art) in the light of philosophical and theological currents affecting Catholic life in a given era. Upon completion of both Catholic Thought and Culture I and II, students will have some grasp on the fascinating interaction of Gospel and culture marking Catholicism's development, demonstrated skills in the interpretation of literature, music, and visual art, and an appreciation for how the arts can embody Catholic truth and goodness in beauty. Students will also have a broad sense of the contexts of the Catholic tradition, parts of which will then be filled in by other, more specific, courses in the program. NOTE: It is not required (though it is recommended) that students take CSMA 500 prior to taking CSMA 501.

At the Last Judgment the Lord will ask us what we have done for the poor, the hungry, the sick and the naked, those in prison, and those without a home. This course is not just academic, it is life-changing. Christians throughout the centuries have sought to put into practice Christ’s command to love our neighbor, and the Church has created a social tradition. We will walk with her on this exciting journey.
This course provides an investigation into the ways in which Catholicism is inherently social and ecclesial. Its specific focus is on the Christian engagement with the world.

Conversations on Religion and Culture
Christian communities have always understood, intuitively at least, that culture has a powerful impact on human persons, who are made for the common life of society. For many centuries the Catholic tradition has taken a lively interest in expressions of Christian culture—architecture, art, and literature—but rarely reflected on the concept of culture itself. This changed in the 20th century as many Catholic thinkers, laity and clergy alike, began to examine the relationship between religion and culture more deeply.
One of the leaders of this new inquiry was Christopher Dawson (1889-1970), the preeminent English Catholic historian of the century. Dawson wrote extensively on the nature of culture and on topics related to the importance of Christian culture to Western civilization. This course will acquaint the student with some of Dawson’s work in this area but at the same time put Dawson in “conversation” with a number of other important voices, modern and contemporary, such as Jacques Maritain, Hilaire Belloc, Josef Pieper, T S Eliot, Joseph Ratzinger, Dorothy Sayers, Mary Ann Glendon, Barbara Ward, and Simone Weil. Topics may include secularization, education, the restoration of Christian culture, and technology, among others.

St. Francis was born into a world in the throes of radical transformation, arguably one of the most decisive periods of change in European history. It was a period that witnessed the birth of the modern state, the early formation of market economies, the birth of the first European universities, and much more. In short, it was a world in need of a saint, like St. Francis, who could channel its wild energy without dampening it. After a brief survey of the political, economic, and religious transformations of Europe from the 11th-13th centuries, we will give our attention to St. Francis’ own writings, the writings of fellow Franciscans (especially Thomas of Celano and St. Bonaventure, the principal biographers of St. Francis), and works by contemporary historians, both Franciscan and non-Franciscan for other perspectives on the way in which Franciscan charisma encountered the world.

Everyone wants happiness, but does anyone know how to find it? Should we even expect to find it in this life—or just pursue it? In this course, we will examine ancient, medieval, and contemporary writing about the universal human desire for happiness—and the many ways it can elude us. How can we identify true happiness, and why are we often drawn to false imitations? Is everyone happy in the same way? Is it possible to be happy without virtue—or without God? Can suffering and happiness coexist in the good life? Drawing on philosophy, theology, literature, and art, we will map out the unique character of Christian happiness.

Students are required to take this seminar during the semester they are doing an internship of 7-10 hrs/wk. The seminar meets three times (at the beginning, middle, and end of the semester), to provide opportunities for those engaged in individual placements to get peer support for their discernment process. At its core is a reflective process designed to lead students to: a deeper understanding of the practical means of working for social change; an evaluation of their internship experience (both in terms of gaining a deeper understanding of their own vocation and a better understanding of the type of institutions they are working with); and applying these insights to future course work and career planning.

Using philosophical methodology, and with substantial attention to Catholic intellectual tradition, this course enquires into the foundations of ethics, including how our conception of the human person affects our understanding of the moral life. It considers also the question of the rationality of belief in God and the difference (if any) God makes to our understanding of the person and the good. In addressing these topics, the course develops and applies basic logic skills, introduced as an essential part of philosophical method and an indispensable tool of critical thinking.

Political philosophy and law are intimately connected to ethics, and to an underlying theory of the human person. Some say that political philosophy is an extension of ethics or morality; others hold that, without law, there is no morality. Which is it? Are human beings naturally political animals? From where does the authority to make law arise? What is the origin of property? What constitutes justice? What is the relation between a political system and the good of its individual citizens? What is this “common good” we keep hearing about? Are there better and worse forms of government? We will examine philosophical works on these topics from ancient to recent, with particular attention to the Catholic intellectual tradition. Prerequisite: PHIL 110, PHIL 115, or PHIL 197.

Many religions, including Christianity, ask people to have faith that God exists and has acted in human history. Yet it often seems more reasonable to doubt that religious claims are true. In this course, we will consider whether it can be reasonable to have faith in religious claims and how doubt can help a person come to a more mature faith. The course will be divided into two parts, each of which will address a source of religious doubt. In the first part, we will discuss the relation between faith, doubt, and science. In light of modern scientific findings (especially the theory of evolution), can it be reasonable to believe that God exists, created the world, and has intervened in history? In the second part, we will discuss the relation between faith, doubt, and suffering. In the face of widespread horrendous suffering and moral evil, can it be reasonable to believe that a good God exists and cares for human beings? Special attention will be paid to the suffering that results from the experience of finding the world to be ultimately meaningless. Prerequisite: PHIL 110, PHIL 115, or PHIL 197.

Many people today say they are “spiritual but not religious”, meaning that they reject organized religion, with its “dogmas” and doctrine of God as “an old man in the sky.” But the great religions of the world have engendered powerful philosophical theologies, offering sophisticated accounts of the ultimate, spiritual reality and of its relation to humans and to the world, developing these accounts in astonishingly rich ways. Some have argued that the ultimate reality must be personal i.e., must be a being who is able to act on purpose for reasons, and that a person need not be limited in any way. Some have argued that the ultimate reality must transcend personality, must be the ground of being which is not itself a being. Some have argued that the there can only be one uncreated being, while some have argued that the evil in the world requires that God, who is perfectly good and the creator of all good things, must be opposed by an uncreated spirit of evil which He will, nonetheless, defeat in the end. Some have argued that the ultimate good for humans must consist in loving union with a God of love and all other finite spirits, while others have held that it can only consist in a realization that one’s inner self is the very same as the Self of all, the Self which is Being-Consciousness-Bliss. Furthermore, the greatest philosophical theology humans have produced was not detached from religion or purported revelatory texts, but grew up, in an organic way, from a deep, and philosophically informed, meditation on them. This course explores Western and non-Western philosophical accounts of the nature of the ultimate reality and of the relation of humans to that reality and, by doing this, seeks to show that the currently popular distinction between “religion” and “spirituality” is based on nothing more than an ignorance of the profound, and varied, religious philosophies developed by thinkers who were adherents of the great world religions.

Drawing on insights from philosophy as well as research from cognitive science, psychology, and behavioral economics, this course will help you learn to reason better. Emphasis will be on probabilistic reasoning rather than on deductive logic (which is the focus in PHIL 220). We will discuss in detail: how to avoid common natural biases in thinking, how to attain intellectual habits that promote the attainment of truth, how to create a visual representation of the structure of an argument, what evidence is and how to update one’s beliefs on the basis of new evidence, how to assess the quality of an information source, how to engage in probabilistic reasoning when certainty is elusive, and how to make good decisions when operating in conditions of uncertainty and risk.

By the end of the early modern period (1600-1800), academic philosophers had largely rejected the Christian Aristotelianism of the medieval Scholastics in favor of the "Enlightenment" tradition of Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz (the Continental Rationalists), Locke, Berkeley, and Hume (the British Empiricists), and Kant (whose "transcendental idealism" was an attempt to overcome certain basic shortcomings of Rationalist and Empiricist systems). Enlightenment philosophy's critique of a range of traditional beliefs concerning the human person and human knowledge has profoundly shaped contemporary society. Acquaintance with its main points is indispensable to a thorough understanding of modernity's achievements and defects. Prerequisite: PHIL 110, PHIL 115, or PHIL197; and one other PHIL course.
