SUMMARY:Ethics
DESCRIPTION:Reading Group\n\n\n\nApril 8\, 15\, 22\, and 29\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nA four-week reading group through Ethics with Martin Cajthaml\n\n\n\nThe group will meet over Zoom on Wednesday afternoons (April 8\, 15\, 22\, and 29\, 2026) from 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EDT. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the waitlist\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\nMartin Cajthaml\, Associated Scholar\n\n\n\n\n\nMartin Cajthaml studied philosophy at the Faculty of Arts of the Charles University in Prague from 1991-1993. He went on to study philosophy and psychology at the International Academy of Philosophy in the Principality of Lichtenstein (IAP). In 2000\, he earned his PhD in philosophy at the IAP with the dissertation Kritik des Relativismus. In 2000-2007 he worked as assistant-professor at the IAP. 2007-2011 he worked as assistant-professor at the Department of Philosophy and Patrology of Sts Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology of Palacký University Olomouc. Since his Habilitation at the Faculty of Arts of the Palacký University in 2011\, he is the head of the Department of Philosophy and Patrology and an associate professor. \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\n\nLevel: \n\n\n\nSuitable for those with some philosophical background. \n\n\n\n\n\nReadings:\n\n\n\nWeek 1: Ch 1 pp 13-47Week 2: Ch 1 pp 47-73Week 3: Ch 2Week 4: Ch 6 & 9*All from Ethics \n\n\n\n\n\nTime:\n\n\n\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Waitlist
