SUMMARY:The Nature of Love
DESCRIPTION:Reading Group\n\n\n\nJuly 6\, 13\, 20\, 27 \n\n\n\n\nA four-week reading group through The Nature of Love with Derek Jeffreys.\n\n\n\nThe group will meet over Zoom on Monday evenings (July 6\, 13\, 20\, 27) from 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Waitlist\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Text\n\n\n\nIn this study on love a new side of Dietrich von Hildebrand’s thought emerges. 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 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. 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 Hildebrand represents. \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\nDerek Jeffreys\n\n\n\n\n\nDerek S. Jeffreys is a professor of Humanities\, Religion and Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin\, Green Bay. He did both his B.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. He has written books on St. John Paul II\, ethics and torture\, and ethics and solitary confinement.

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\nWeek 1: IntroductionWeek 2: Chapter 1Week 3: Chapter 3Week 4: Chapter 6 \n\n\n\n\n\nTime:\n\n\n\n7:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Waitlist

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.
