Thomistic Institute Sponsors "Thomas Aquinas: Free Will and Virtue"

The Catholic and Dominican Institute of Mount Saint Mary College and The Thomistic Institute of the Dominican House of Studies are sponsoring the Thomas Aquinas Philosophy Workshop, June 13-16, 2013, at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, N.Y. Registration deadline is April 30, 2013.

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.
