On September, 14th, the Christian Study Center hosted a kick-off event to launch the fall semester. As part of the event, Dr. Richard Horner, our executive director, presented a talk titled, “What Frames What?—One More Time.”
The talk revisits a critical diagnostic question, which Dr. Horner has been ask for nearly two decades. Through this question Dr. Horner explores the defining features of modernity and the point to which they have now brought us. It is an exploration not so much of post-modern culture, but of modern culture fully realized.
This talk also sets up a reading group Dr. Horner will be leading throughout the semester beginning this Friday, September 24th. The group will meet every other week at noon at the study center and will read some of the key thinkers that have shaped Dr. Horner’s understanding of the modern world. This Friday the group will be discussing the first four sections of Descartes’s Discourse on Method.
Subscribers to this newsletter should note that our plan is to continue to use this platform to distribute occasional audio, like this lecture, and also to publish a monthly installment with an essay, links, and information about the study center.
