(Université Loyola du Congo). \nThe invisibility of the visible other is the expression of a deep anthropological crisis that manifests itself in various ways: the loss of the meaning of life\, the search for identification groups for personal security\, and the notorious disregard for the protection of our common humanity\, leading to disrespect for the laws that govern communities of rational and reasonable beings\, the fierce refusal to encounter another subjectivity that enables us to awaken to ourselves as subjects and moral agents\, and the voluntary destruction of the community in which each human being takes his existential anchorage\, etc. \nThe establishment of a moral community of mutual recognition requires a radical shift from the invisibility of the visible other to the visibility of the socially constructed invisible other. We are always already related to other people. No one exists as an isolated entity (a monad). The “I” is always understood in connection with the “we.” Therefore\, the responsibility of the-one-for-the-other requires us to rediscover the true meaning of the question: Who is my neighbor? Far from being merely a spiritual question\, this question is\, first and foremost\, an ethical one. It means: What is expected of me as a moral individuality open to the light of reason?

Yet when they engaged new Christian classics\, especially the Bible and the church’s creeds\, any attempt at aemulatio would be equivalent to heresy. Thus\, two modes of imitation inform early Christian poetry: one that rivals literary authorities and another that revels in theological authorities. This lecture will explore the interaction of these two modes not only in selected works of ambitious Christian verse but also in the celebratory hymns of the church’s worship. \nAbout the Speaker\nA graduate of Harvard\, Oxford\, and the Gregorian University of Rome\, he received his Ph.D. in the history of Christianity from the University of Notre Dame. He won the Best First Book Prize from the North American Patristics Society for his monograph Enchantment and Creed in the Hymns of Ambrose of Milan (Oxford\, 2016)\, and he has published translations of the Greek poetry of Gregory of Nazianzus (St. Vladimir’s\, 2013) and the Latin sermons of Ambrose of Milan (Catholic University\, 2020). \nPlease direct all questions to fas@fordhm.edu.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for the St. Ignatius Loyola Chair Lecture featuring Louis Caruana\, S.J. To describe computers and sophisticated robots\, many people today have no problem using personal attributes. Alan Turing published his famous intelligence test in 1950. From then on\, computers have gained an increasingly higher status in this regard. Computers and robots nowadays are not only intelligent. They perceive\, they remember\, they understand\, they decide\, they play\, and so on. Recently\, a further step has been taken\, but\, this time\, many researchers are seriously concerned. \nIn 2017\, the European Parliament passed a resolution to attribute legal personality to intelligent robots. If this is accepted as law\, it will have significant consequences for our self-understanding and for the way we live together as a community. This resolution and similar proposals in the U.S. have stimulated various studies\, arising mainly from the area of legal studies. It is important\, however\, that the response also include a philosophical component on how fundamental concepts change. This lecture seeks to make a contribution of this kind. It explores the attribution of legal personality to machines by focusing on what is happening at the level of meaning\, in view of indicating what dangers could lie ahead and what could be the right way to avoid them. \nAbout the Speaker\nCaruana is a Jesuit priest\, a philosophy professor at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome\, and an adjunct scholar at the Vatican Observatory. He started his education with a degree in mathematics and physics\, and then proceeded with a master’s degree in philosophy and another one in theology. He obtained his Ph.D. at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge. His previous service includes a six-year term of office as faculty dean and a seven-year period of teaching and research at Heythrop College at the University of London\, where he was appointed reader in 2003. He spent time as a non-stipendiary research scholar at the University of Notre Dame in 2009 and at the Australian National University in 2015. \nHis research deals with the interaction between philosophy of science\, metaphysics\, and philosophy of religion\, and his publications include three monographs: Holism and the Understanding of Science (2000)\, Science and Virtue (2006)\, and Nature: Its Conceptual Architecture (2015). He is also the contributing editor of two interdisciplinary volumes: Darwin and Catholicism (2009) and The Beginning and End of the Universe (2016\, in Italian).
