Join Collegium Institute and the Penn Newman Center for our annual Newman Lecture. This year’s lecture, entitled, “To Live is to Change: Newman on Growing Up Well,” will be given by Prof. Thomas Hibbs, professor of Philosophy at Baylor University and former president of UDallas.

John Henry Newman has a remarkably compelling account of human development in its intellectual, moral, and spiritual dimensions, an account that in some ways anticipates the empirically based insights of contemporary psychology. Newman sees human development as a matter of expansion and integration; premature unity can be as damaging as aimless disconnection. With particular attention to the development of young souls, he envisions human life as a dramatic quest for the good, in its complexity and unity, and in relation to others, particularly friends.    

Date: Wednesday, February 21, 7:00 pm
