Three new videos are available on the ICS Youtube channel. They derive from the event "Imagination's Truths: re-envisioning imagination in philosophy, religion and the arts" which took place on October 13, 2012, and was cosponsored by ICS, Emmanual College, and the Toronto School of Theology.
The first video, recorded before the event began, is Richard Kearney being interviewed by our own Rebekah Smick on the subject of the role that imagination plays in our ability to express truth and deal with trauma.
The other two videos are complete recordings of the lecture by Richard Kearney and the panel discussion that took place at the event itself.
The videos and more information about the event and its participants can be found on the event website at http://www.icscanada.edu/cprse/art-talks

Responses to the Enlightenment: An Exchange on Foundations, Faith, and Community
ICS Senior Member Emeritus Henk Hart's new book Responses to the Enlightenment: An Exchange on Foundations, Faith, and Community is now available.
From the publisher's website:
"[the book] is a dialogue between Hendrik Hart and William Sweet, two philosophers who identify themselves as Christians, and who seek to respond to the challenges of the Enlightenment and its legacy. The authors approach the relation of faith to reason, however, in very different ways: Hart from the perspective of the Calvinian tradition and postmodern philosophy, Sweet from the Catholic tradition and analytic philosophy. Among the topics discussed are the nature of religious faith and of reason, liberalism and orthodoxy in religion, the relation of religious experience and rationality, and building community in a religiously and culturally pluralistic world."
