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 is available below. \n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\nCatherine Yanko is a Graduate Fellow of the Hildebrand Project. Currently she is PhD Student at the Catholic University of America where she studies Moral Theology/Ethics. Her main interests are in theological/philosophical anthropology\, action and virtue theory\, and meta-ethics. She was first introduced to Dietrich von Hildebrand as an undergraduate Student Fellow of the Hildebrand Project; she has continued to study his work\, notably in the development of his concept of reverence in her recently presented paper: “Hildebrandian Reverence for the Defects of Christ: A Thomistic Inquiry of the Reception of Christ’s Salvific Act” at the Thomistic Institute’s conference\, “Thomas Aquinas and the Crisis of Christology”. \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\nReading\n\n\n\nWeek 1: Chapter 1Week 2: Chapter 2 – 4Week 3: Chapters 5 – 7Week 4: Chapters 8 – 9 \n\n\n\n\n\nLevel: \n\n\n\nSuitable for those at any level of familiarity with Hildebrand. \n\n\n\n\n\nTime:\n\n\n\n8:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Aesthetics Vol I - Part I
DESCRIPTION:Reading Group\n\n\n\nApril 1\, April 8\, April 22\, & April 29\, 2022 \n\n\n\nThere is no more important issue in our culture—sacred or secular—than the restoration of beauty. And there is no better place to start this urgent enterprise than Dietrich von Hildebrand’s Aesthetics. Dana Gioia\, Former Chairman\, National Endowment for the Arts\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA four week reading group through selections of Aesthetics with Javier Carreño.\n\n\n\nThe group will meet over Zoom on Friday mornings (Apr 1 // Apr 8 // Apr 22 // Apr 29\, 2022 )from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EST. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Text\n\n\n\nWritten in the early 1970s during the last years of his life\, as if harvesting a lifetime of reflection\, Aesthetics is Dietrich von Hildebrand’s comprehensive two-volume study and defense of beauty and art.  \n\n\n\n“Aesthetics [is] best understood as an explosion of insights\,” writes Alice von Hildebrand\, widow of Dietrich\, in a note on the text. “He knew he was running out of time\, and so he tried to capture the Niagara Falls of ideas that flowed out of him.” \n\n\n\nFor those familiar with Hildebrand’s background\, it is no surprise that beauty should be a central theme in his thought. His father\, Adolf von Hildebrand\, was one of the most revered German sculptors of the turn-of-the-century period and Dietrich von Hildebrand grew up in a world filled with many of Europe’s leading artists\, musicians\, and writers.  \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 is available on the right-hand sidebar. \n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\nJavier Carreño studied Philosophy and English at Dallas\, and Philosophy at Leuven (Belgium)\, where he earned a doctoral degree in 2010. He has written mainly on the imagination and aesthetics – taking Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology as point d’appui. He also maintains an interest in the philosophy of religion\, especially the role of affectivity as a preamble to faith. \n\n\n\nSince 2011\, Dr. Carreño has taught for Franciscan University of Steubenville’s study abroad program located in lower Austria\, where he is an associate professor of philosophy\, and also serve as academic chairman. His teaching comprises both “core” courses in the perennial tradition as well as specialized courses\, also in English Literature and in Theology. \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).

SUMMARY:Nature of Love Pt. II | Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:A four week reading group through the Nature of Love with Derek Jefferys. This group is a continuation of Nature of Love I reading group. Participants must have already completed a four-week reading group through the Nature of Love to register. \nThe group will meet via Zoom on Thursdays (Oct 21\, Oct 28\, Nov 4\, Nov 11\, 2021) from 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM EDT. \n \nVIRTUAL FORMAT\nThe meeting will be conducted live in Zoom. Links for the sessions will be sent out ahead of time. \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. \nABOUT THE TEXT\nEarly on Dietrich von Hildebrand distinguished himself as a thinker with an unusual understanding of human love. His books in the 1920s on man and woman broke new ground and stirred up fruitful controversy. Toward the end of his life he wrote a foundational book on love\, The Nature of Love. He had in fact been preparing all his life to write this work; he was so drawn to the philosophical analysis of love that his students long ago had dubbed him doctor amoris\, the doctor of love. This great work\, the mature fruit of von Hildebrand’s genius\, is now available for the first time in English\, ably translated and introduced by the philosopher John F. Crosby\, who had been a student of von Hildebrand. \n \nThe Nature of Love is a masterpiece of phenomenological investigation. Not since Max Scheler’s work on love have the resources of phenomenology been so fruitfully employed for the understanding of what love is and what it is not. \n \nPreviously von Hildebrand had distinguished himself mainly in the area of moral philosophy\, but in this study on love a new side of his thought emerges. Von Hildebrand is here led into areas of personal subjectivity that he did not have the occasion to explore in his ethical writings. In a most original way he shows that the desire to be loved by the person whom one loves has nothing to do with selfishness; he shows that this desire to be loved and so to be united with the other person is itself a kind of self-donation to the other. Thus von Hildebrand resists the altruism that claims that one is selfless toward the beloved person only by willing the good of the other in such a way as to be indifferent to being loved in return. On the other hand\, he equally resists the claim that the happiness of the one who loves is the primary motive of love. Von Hildebrand indicates the radically other-centered direction of love\, while avoiding the pitfall of a depersonalized altruism. Thus he does justice both to the extraordinary self-transcendence of love as well as to subjectivity of love. This work constitutes a major contribution to the Christian personalism that von Hildebrand represents. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDerek S. Jeffreys\nFacilitator \n\nDerek S. Jeffreys is a professor of Humanities and Religion at the University of Wisconsin\, Green Bay. He teaches courses in the humanities\, ethics and the philosophy of religion. His research focuses on personalism and violence\, with a particular emphasis on punishment and incarceration. He is author of Defending Human Dignity: John Paul II and Political Realism (Brazos Press\, 2004)\, Spirituality and the Ethics of Torture (Palgrave\, 2009)\, Spirituality in Dark Places: The Ethics of Solitary Confinement (Palgrave\, 2013)\, and America’s Jails: The Search for Human Dignity in an Age of Mass Incarceration (NYU Press\, 2018). He is currently working on issues related to love and mental illness in penal institutions.
