JP2 Lecture / Cezary Binkiewicz O.P.: "The Truth and Searching for a New Paideia"

www.ANGELICUM.it On Wednesday, February 26th at 4:30 p.m. we invite you to a public lecture by Fr. Cezary Binkiewicz OP, director of the Angelicum’s St. John Paul II Institute of Culture. The lecture titled “The Truth and Searching for a New Paideia” will be held in Aula 11 as part of the JP2 Lectures series at the Angelicum. Fr. Binkiewicz will address the questions whether the connection between truth and education still exists in today’s culture, whether it is needed, and therefore whether education has any well-legitimized purpose. This is, in his opinion, important because our Western culture, which grew out of the Greek-Christian Paideia and today defines itself as postmodern, to a large extent negates and undermines this connection. _________ The lecture will be delivered in English. ________________ https://angelicum.it/st-john-paul-ii-... ________________ The monthly open JP2 Lectures are given by prominent international scholars, and organized by the St. John Paul II Institute of Culture at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Roman Alma Mater of fr.
