Lecture on ‘Phenomenology and Catholic Theology’ at Saint Meinrad on March 11

Dr. Kevin Hart, professor of Christian studies at the University of Virginia, will present the annual Thomas Lecture on Philosophy and Theology at Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology in St. Meinrad on March 11 at 7 p.m. Central Standard Time in the St. Bede Theater. Hart’s lecture is titled “Phenomenology and Catholic Theology.”

According to Hart, in recent years Catholic philosophers, especially in France, have turned to phenomenology as a way to articulate the faith. What do these people say? What benefits come from developing a phenomenology of Christianity or even a phenomenological theology? And what drawbacks are there?

Prior to his position at the University of Virginia, Hart was chair of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame. He has received substantial academic honors from many institutions, has published widely in the areas of continental philosophy, and is also a published poet.

The lecture is free and open to the public. Parking is available at the St. Bede, Guest House and student parking lots. For more information, call Mary Jeanne Schumacher at 812-357-6501.
