Dana Point, California January 24, 2019 Seminar: 1:30 – 3:00 p.m.

St. Thomas Aquinas considers the vices opposed to truth right after he treats the virtue of truthfulness in his Summa Theologiae. Lying is the vice contrary to truth. St. Thomas asks whether lying is ever justified, and whether there are different kinds of lies. If so, are some lies more serious than others?
Please join members of the College’s faculty at the Legatus Summit for a seminar discussion of these topics, focusing on St. Thomas Aquinas’ short but packed meditation on lying from his Summa Theologiae, Second Part of the Second Part, Question 110: Articles 1-3. The seminar will be on Thursday, January 24, 1:30–3:00 p.m. at the Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, California. It is open to all of the conference’s registered attendees. To attend, please register online [2].
This seminar is not a lecture; nor is it a discourse among a panel of experts. Everyone in attendance is invited, but not required, to participate actively in the conversation, working together to distill and analyze the meaning of this important document. You do not need to be an expert to attend, just interested in the topics to be read and discussed. Leading the seminar will be the College’s president, Dr. Michael F. McLean, and its vice president, Dr. Paul J. O’Reilly.
Dr. McLean and Dr. O’Reilly have collectively spent more than 50 years leading seminars as members of the Thomas Aquinas College teaching faculty. At the College, all classes are taught via the discussion method. The curriculum consists exclusively of the great books of Western civilization, including various Church documents and encyclicals.
