SUMMARY:My Battle Against Hitler
DESCRIPTION:Reading Group\n\n\n\nAugust 5\, 12\, 19\, and 26 \n\n\n\n\nA four-week reading group through My Battle Against Hitler with Peter Meilaender.\n\n\n\nThe group will meet over Zoom on Wednesday evenings (August 5\, 12\, 19\, & 29) from 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM EDT. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Text\n\n\n\nDietrich von Hildebrand was a German Catholic thinker and teacher who devoted the full force of his intellect to breaking the deadly spell of Nazism that ensnared so many of his beloved countrymen.His story might well have been lost to us were it not for this memoir he penned in the last decades of his life at the request of his wife\, Alice von Hildebrand. In My Battle Against Hitler\, covering the years from 1921 to 1938\, von Hildebrand tells of the scorn and ridicule he endured for sounding the alarm when many still viewed Hitler as a positive and inevitable force. He expresses the sorrow of having to leave behind his home\, friends\, and family in Germany to conduct his fight against the Nazis from Austria. He recounts how he defiantly challenged Nazism in the public square\, prompting the German ambassador in Vienna to describe him to Hitler as “the architect of the intellectual resistance in Austria.” And in the midst of all the danger he faced\, he conveys his unwavering trust in God\, even during his harrowing escape from Vienna and his desperate flight across Europe\, with the Nazis always just one step behind. \n\n\n\nFormat\n\n\n\nThe meeting will be conducted live in Zoom. Links for the session will be sent out ahead of time. \n\n\n\nTo allow for rich discussion\, the group is limited in size to a maximum of 20 participants. Once the group is full\, additional registrations will be placed on a waitlist. \n\n\n\nAll participants are expected to have a copy of the text and to come prepared to each session having done the weekly reading (15-45 pages per week). The weekly reading schedule will be e-mailed to you. \n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter Meilaender\n\n\n\n\n\nFor the past 23 years Dr. Peter Meilaender has taught at Houghton University in Houghton\, NY\, where he isProfessor of Political Science and Dean of Religion\, Humanities\, and Global Studies. His degree is in political theory and much of his work has been in politics and literature\, especially in the areas of Swiss and Austrian Studies. His wife is German and they have five children\, the oldest in law school\, the youngest is in highschool. \n\n\n\n\n\nCosts\n\n\n\nReading groups are free to attend. \n\n\n\nIf you are able\, we invite you to make a donation to help defray the costs of organizing (reading groups cost the Hildebrand Project ~$900 for a four-week group). We are committed to making reading groups accessible to all; therefore\, participation is not contingent on a donation. \n\n\n\nYour gift support this reading group\, our publications\, web resources\, and other events\, all of which contribute to bringing the vital\, life-giving witness of personalist philosophy into new and uncertain times. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nReadings:\n\n\n\nForthcoming \n\n\n\n\n\nTime:\n\n\n\n8:00 PM – 9:00 PM ET \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now

SUMMARY:Ethics
DESCRIPTION:Reading Group\n\n\n\nAugust 6\, 13\, 20\, and 27\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nA four-week reading group through Ethics with Dr. William Tullius\n\n\n\nThe group will meet over Zoom on Thursday afternoons (April 6\, 13\, 20\, and 27 2026) from 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM EDT. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister today\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Text\n\n\n\nDietrich von Hildebrand offers here the most nuanced version we have of a value-based ethics\, building on the ethics of Max Scheler\, but going far beyond it. On this basis he develops his signature concept of value-response\, wherein a person gives value its due\, along with his signature concept of the transcendence of the person in value-response. He re-thinks virtue theory on the basis of his value philosophy\, and in doing so he places virtue at the center of his ethics long before the revival of virtue theory in Anglo-American thought. \n\n\n\nFormat\n\n\n\nThe meeting will be conducted live in Zoom. Links for the session will be sent out ahead of time. \n\n\n\nTo allow for rich discussion\, the group is limited in size to a maximum of 20 participants. Once the group is full\, additional registrations will be placed on a waitlist. \n\n\n\nAll participants are expected to have a copy of the text and to come prepared to each session having done the weekly reading (15-45 pages per week). The weekly reading schedule will be e-mailed to you. \n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\n\nWilliam Tullius\, \n\n\n\n\n\nWilliam E. Tullius holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the New School for Social Research and is currently an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at American Public University System. He has previously occupied visiting positions at the American University in Cairo\, Gonzaga University\, and the University of Dallas. His main areas of research revolve around the development of a phenomenological and personalist ethical theory through the study of Edmund Husserl\, Max Scheler\, and Edith Stein.
