Mr. Harell describes his lecture: "One can envision a St. John’s College where we study technology as explicitly and seriously as we study mathematics or laboratory science, while also refusing to adopt innovations in technology in the same way we have renounced educational innovations such as electives and majors. Imagine a St. John's, for example, where all college business is still done on paper—circa 1937, or even 1997—while there is nonetheless a required semester-long class on computation. The actual St. John’s

One way to put the question of my lecture is therefore this: Which college—the St. John’s of my imagination or the actual thing—is the better example of what liberal education is?"

Recording of a lecture delivered on March 22, 2024, by Thornton C. Lockwood, Professor of philosophy at Quinnipiac University, as part of the Formal Lecture Series.
Dr. Lockwood describes his lecture: "Several senses of the term 'nature' feature prominently in the first book of Aristotle's Politics, although the term is generally absent from the rest of the Politics; justice and the notion of 'constitution' (πολιτεία) figure prominently in the remainder of the Politics, and yet they are curiously absent from the first book. My lecture seeks to elucidate all three terms, in part to unpack the basic concepts of the Politics for a first-time reader, in part to think about what insights Aristotle offers us today with our own challenges to understand nature and sustainability."
