“Life has never been normal,” wrote C. S. Lewi

“Life has never been normal,” wrote C. S. Lewis in an address to students at the outset of World War II. If we are waiting for a better time to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty, we may never get started. In the Young Philosophers series, Gutenberg College opens its (virtual) doors to high-school-age participants for a thoughtful online discussion of important ideas.

All but the most hard-core atheists believe, at some level, that life has meaning. But what is it? In this session of Young Philosophers led by President and tutor Chris Swanson, we will explore the meaning of meaning, why it is so central to our experience, and various approaches toward an answer.

Young Philosophers: Man’s Search for Meaning

Attendance: $15.00

Calling all learners and educators! This is the last chance announcement to get registered for Gutenberg College’s Education Conference!

In the predominant view of education, the student’s primary job is to consume and store information, much like a computer. But such a view misses the true nature of learning. Learning is a dynamic process in which a student, like an apprentice, slowly builds skills and knowledge, constantly self-correcting toward mastery and a sound worldview. A key component of the process—frequently overlooked in modern education—is a student’s moral orientation toward truth. In this conference, we will explore the art of learning through talks and breakout sessions in order to become better learners and better teachers.

Education Conference 2021 Gutenberg Speakers: Chris Swanson and Eliot Grasso!

Chris Swanson has been a tutor at Gutenberg since 1994, and in 2016, he became president of the college. He has a B.S. in physics and math and both an M.S. and Ph.D. in physics. He has also done post-doctoral research at the University of Oregon and taught at Westmont College in California.

Swansons’ Education Conference Talk: More Than We Can Tell: The Art of Knowing
In the talk, Chris will explore two types of knowing: that which we cannot tell and that which we can. Understanding these two types of knowing and the interrelation between them provides a critical insight into teaching and learning for all ages and all subjects.

Eliot holds a B.A. in music from Goucher College, a M.A. in ethnomusicology from the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at the University of Limerick, and a Ph.D. in musicology from the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance.

Grasso’s Education Conference Talk: Learning as an Act of Will
In this talk, Eliot Grasso explores the biblical connection between knowing and willing. Understanding this connection will help us to better understand the responsibilities of both students and teachers.

Education Conference 2021 Gutenberg Speakers: Davi

Education Conference 2021 Gutenberg Speakers: David and Crystal Downing!

David and Crystal Downing are co-directors of the Marion E. Wade Center in Wheaton, Illinois, the foremost archive in the world for published and unpublished materials by and about C S Lewis and six of his most important influences, including Dorothy L. Sayers. Having earned PhDs in English from the University of California, Crystal (UCSB) and David (UCLA) became English professors at separate colleges in Pennsylvania, where they published extensively on authors archived at the Wade. Their combined scholarship, along with lots of laughter, informs the Wade Center Podcast, which has received more than 75,000 listeners in over a hundred countries.

David and Crystal Downing’s EdCon Talk: The Truth or Nott
C. S. Lewis and Dorothy Sayers only appeared in public together one time, on October 24, 1954. They were together to debate humanist/atheist Kathleen Nott, who had attacked them both (as well as T. S. Eliot and W. H. Auden) in a mean-spirited book titled The Emperor’s Clothes. Nott was a no-show at the event, claiming a last-minute illness, so Lewis and Sayers extemporaneously took questions from the audience. No one took notes on the event, but David and Chrystal will present their imaginative recreation of Lewis and Sayers’s Q & A session before a “packed and lively audience.”
