The Third Annual Thomas Aquinas Philosophy Workshop will
take place at Mount Saint Mary College on June 13-16,
2013.
Thomas Aquinas: Free Will & Virtue
What is the nature of human freedom according to St. Thomas
Aquinas? Is his analysis defensible today? How does it allow us to
understand the ethical character of human actions and the virtues
and vices that constitute the moral life?
The first day of the conference is devoted especially to
graduate students, either in philosophy or adjacent disciplines.
The second and third days of the event will combine presentations
by philosophers with times of discussion and debate. Mass and
Eucharistic Adoration, as well as opportunities for informal
recreation, will be offered each day.
Required texts for this event:
Relevant questions from the Summa Theologiae
Servais Pinckaers, The Sources of Christian Ethics
