SUMMARY:Witherspoon Forum: The Surveillance State and Society (Session 1)
DESCRIPTION:THE SURVEILLANCE STATE AND SOCIETY\nLed by Dr. Luke Foster\nThis event is a part of the Witherspoon Forum\, a program which provides a space for high school students who are serious about their studies to discuss foundational questions of human existence and contemporary cultural issues in dialogue with their peers and Witherspoon’s seminar leaders. To attend\, students should apply here. \nHow do we retain our humanity in the Information Age? What practices and institutions from the pre-computing world can guide us when social media proposes to replace socializing? All three of our authors in this series—Vonnegut\, Hayek\, and Lewis—lived through the civilizational cataclysm of World War II\, and all of them took seriously the possibility that vast computing power would be used in an attempt to rationally organize entire societies. Today their worries seem to have been realized by the capacity of Big Tech to aggregate the data of billions of people\, in collaboration with governments. Drawing on these texts\, we will discuss how to master our tools rather than be mastered by them.

SUMMARY:Philosophy in Stone: On Architecture and Public Space
DESCRIPTION:Philosophy in Stone: On Architecture and Public Space\n\nLed by R.J. Snell\n\nMaterial culture\, including architecture and public space\, is neither simply adornment or brute utility but an expression of value: what we think people are\, what we think people are for\, and how we think people live and work together. In this seminar we explore architecture and urban planning\, drawing on the thought of Roger Scruton\, Philip Bess\, and Léon Krier (among others). \nReading prior to seminar is not required. Lunch is provided\, as are all reading materials. \nAll Princeton undergraduate or graduate students are warmly invited.

To attend\, students should apply here. \nA longing for immortality is a widespread human trait\, but today’s transhumanists have transformed it into what they claim is a practical program for (at least) radical extension of the human lifespan. How would putting off death into an indefinite future reshape how we live and understand our lives? Would freedom from death be the greatest of liberations\, or would it compromise the possibility of human happiness?

SUMMARY:Enchantment and Fairy-Stories
DESCRIPTION:Enchantment and Fairy-Stories\nLed by R.J. Snell\nAmong some\, there is a mood and call for re-enchantment of world and imagination\, largely as a response to the loss of the sense of the sacred and radical immanentizing of our lives. This may or may not be a good idea: the classic 1947 Tolkien essay\, “On Fairy-Stories” has much to offer in reaching a reasonable judgment. \nReading prior to seminar is not required. Lunch is provided\, as are all reading materials. \nAll Princeton undergraduate or graduate students are warmly invited.

SUMMARY:Natural Law Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Natural Law Theory Seminar\nLed by Matthew X. Wilson\, R.J. Snell\, and Robert P. George\nWhat is “New Natural Law Theory\,” and are there “old” natural law theories that came before it? Does “natural law” merely consist of assigning moral weight to empirically-observable laws of nature? What is natural law’s place in the relationship between human reason and divine revelation? This seminar will examine the revival of natural law that began in the 1960s\, identifying and assessing its key claims and philosophical underpinnings. The seminar will place “New Natural Law” in conversation with other schools of thinking about ethics\, political morality\, and jurisprudence—including critiques of New Natural Law Theory from more traditional Thomistic theorists as well as criticisms from liberal philosophers. \nThe seminar encourages free thinking among participants and will not shy away from frankly addressing tough questions. \nNo prior reading is required\, and dinner on Friday\, March 21 and brunch on Saturday\, March 22 will be provided. \nAll Princeton undergraduate and graduate students are warmly invited.  \nThe schedule is as follows: \nMarch 21 \n6:45 – 7:15 PM\, Dinner \n7:30 – 8:45 PM\, Discussion led by R.J. Snell and Matthew X. Wilson

SUMMARY:Enchantment and Fairy-Stories
DESCRIPTION:Enchantment and Fairy-Stories\nLed by R.J. Snell\nAmong some\, there is a mood and call for re-enchantment of world and imagination\, largely as a response to the loss of the sense of the sacred and radical immanentizing of our lives. This may or may not be a good idea: the classic 1947 Tolkien essay\, “On Fairy-Stories” has much to offer in reaching a reasonable judgment. \nReading prior to seminar is not required. Lunch is provided\, as are all reading materials. \nAll Princeton undergraduate or graduate students are warmly invited.
