Title A name given to the resource Lessons in Admiration: George Eliot's Beautiful Atheistic Religiousness Description An account of the resource Audio recording of a lecture given by tutor Richard McCombs on June 24, 2026 as part of the Graduate Institute Summer Lecture Series. The Graduate Institute Office has provided this description of the event: “After rejecting Christianity and God, George Eliot continued to speak, seemingly with approval, of conversion, saints, worship, and religion. One might be tempted to write off her extensive use of religious language as mere metaphor or as vague and impotent spirituality. But before adopting this easy explanation, one must reckon with several highly suggestive facts. First, there is the utter seriousness of her moral vision. Second, it is very tempting to venerate the protagonists of her last two novels as saints. And third, she writes many stories of conversion, two of which at least are perhaps more moving than that of St. Augustine in his Confessions. In this lecture I will argue that George Eliot’s last three novels should be read as attempts to reveal that the best human life is lived with a kind of secular or natural religiousness.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource McCombs, Richard A., II, 1967- Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available St. John's College Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Santa Fe, NM Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2026-06-24 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Meem Library has been given permission to make this item available online.

Title A name given to the resource The Worst Kind of Slavery Description An account of the resource Audio recording of a lecture given by tutor Michael Grenke on May 15, 2026 as part of the Dean’s Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean’s Office has provided this description of the event: “In his novella, Benito Cereno, Herman Melville depicts the aftermath of a slave uprising aboard a Spanish ship. The ship is encountered by an American vessel, and the unknowing and friendly American captain visits the now slave-run ship to aid in its distress, assuming it is still a Spanish-run ship. The sights and incidents witnessed by the visiting American captain repeatedly give rise to suspicions that are dismissed or allayed by the American’s kindliness, obtuseness, and prejudice. The reader, though no better informed, can hardly help conclude the truth of the situation. In this respect alone, Melville’s story is a masterful presentation of the kind of anticipatory emotion that fear itself is. But there is a deeper thought underneath. The leader of the slave revolt, Babo, turns out to be a mastermind of unsuspected authorial power. He authors the whole pageant aboard ship that convinces the American that Spanish rule persists. He authors the revolt itself. He authors the actions and speech of the titular character Benito Cereno. Babo’s authorship raises the very possibility one man can so enslave another as to infect the very seat of choice and action. How is such a slavery possible and can it be undone? Is there a slavery from which the slave cannot be freed?” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Grenke, Michael W.

The Dean’s Office has provided this description of the event: “This lecture will look at Prince Hal’s passage from tavern brawler to battlefield hero in Shakespeare’s Henry VI part I. Many elements of the play suggest that Hal will fail and Harry Hotspur will triumph; why does the opposite happen? What kind of education does Hal need in order to become king and keep the newly usurped throne in the family? From Bolingbroke’s perspective, Hal is threatening the precious reputation of the new kingship, wrested so unconventionally from Richard’s poetic but impotent hands. Hal’s high jinks could come at enormous cost to the kingdom’s tenuous stability. Yet Hal might understand better than his father that the new order of the kingdom will have to be newly invented now that the divine right of kings no longer holds.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stickney, Sarah Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available St. John's College Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Santa Fe, NM Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2026-05-08 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Meem Library has been given permission to make this item available online.

Title A name given to the resource Taking the Measure of Metaphysics Description An account of the resource Audio recording of a lecture given by tutor Jim Carey on April 24, 2026 as part of the Dean’s Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean’s Office has provided this description of the event: “According to Aristotle, there is a science (epistēmē) that considers being as being, or that which is insofar as it is. This science later came to be known as ‘metaphysics,’ a word that Aristotle himself does not use but which came into use a few centuries after he died and has been with us ever since. Metaphysics does not consider that which is in terms of its particular features, as do other sciences such as astronomy, chemistry, biology, and psychology. The concern of metaphysics is broader than that of physics. Physics limits itself to the study of perceivable beings, to bodies that are in motion or capable of being put into motion. Though metaphysics does not limit itself this way, it does not adopt as a premise that there is something outside the domain of physics. Instead, it begins by considering the very things that physics considers, but in a different way. Whether, starting from such a basis, metaphysics can demonstrate the existence of something ‘beyond’ nature, and, if so, what pertains to its essence, is a controversial question. The various answers to this question constitute the history of metaphysics, or discourse about being, from Classical Antiquity through the Middle Ages and into Modernity. In my talk I will highlight and attempt an assessment of what I consider to be the most consequential events in this history, which culminates, after a fashion, in Heidegger’s claim that not only is discourse about being historical, but being itself is historical."

Essential in this endeavor were additional capabilities of the vacuum tube: oscillation, which enabled production of electromagnetic waves having a defined frequency, and modulation, which varied the properties of electromagnetic waves. I will conclude by suggesting that technologies should not be viewed as being chiefly solutions to problems, but might also be seen as practical extensions of speculative thinking."

The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: "A puzzling phenomenon observed by Edison in one of his early light bulbs seemed to disclose a kind of electric current that did not fit the received ideas, for it was not confined to a conductor, and it would flow in one direction but not in the reverse direction. From this 'Edison effect' arose the modern vacuum tube, which enabled, first, the detection of electromagnetic waves by a process readily understood (rectification), and second, a means for effectively multiplying the strength of an electric current (amplification). Both of these capabilities brought dramatic improvements in wireless telegraphy, and they also introduced the prospect of radio transmission of voice and sound. This is the second of three talks on early radio technology."

The Dean’s Office has provided this description of the event: “What is a portrait? The English word comes from the Latin word protrahere, ‘to draw forth,’ ‘to drag forward,’ ‘to bring to light,’ ‘to produce for inspection,’ while the main component trahere comes from an Indo-European root -tragh—that is cognate with our words tract, traction, trawl, drag, track, trace. What does a portrait draw or drag forth?—a human being, a self?—and what are those? In books, we can see how writers like Chaucer or Montaigne ‘portray’ individual people with words that can capture a distinctive interiority—but how can paint or a photographic image do that? Does a portrait have to have eyes, or even a face?—indeed, are there any portraits without human figures? In this panel discussion, three tutors (Alison Chapman, David Carl, and Krishnan Venkatesh) will attempt to approach these questions by talking us through a small selection of pictures.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Chapman, Alison Venkatesh, Krishnan Carl, David Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available St. John's College Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Santa Fe, NM Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2026-04-03 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Meem Library has been given permission to make this item available online.

Among many other things, minds know things. But what should we make of the fundamental fact that knowledge is housed in such fragile, forgetful, and short-lived vessels as human beings? Why do minds die—or do they? Since the origin of writing, and likely long before that, humans found ways to externalize mind. In complex societies, the library is the key symbol of mind embedded in matter. At least since Socrates in Plato’s Phaedrus, thinkers have been anxious about this externalization. Was he right to criticize writing? And how might we think about the would-be total library of the internet, and of its administration by AI-intoxicated tech Caesars whose ambition often seems to be to by-pass death altogether?

How strong are those analogies? Why do they exist? What do they tell us about human evolution? The first part of the lecture will discuss Darwin’s Origin of Species, focusing in particular on his diagram of the ‘tree of life,’ the definition of species, and the relation between species, varieties, and individuals. We shall consider some issues raised in the Descent of Man in order to see how Darwin thought about human nature. It will also include some considerations of more recent discoveries in genetics and how they bear on these questions. The second part of the lecture will focus on linguistic evolution, on both what we know and don’t know about the development and beginnings of language(s). It will discuss in particular the Indo-European family of languages, spoken by nearly half of the world’s population. Are all the world’s languages related? Do they have a single origin? This lecture will end by returning to Aristotle and considering whether his definition of man as the animal with λόγος can still be defended."

Title A name given to the resource Telegraphy and Radiotelegraphy Description An account of the resource Audio recording of a lecture given by tutor emeritus Howard Fisher on February 18, 2026 as part of the Dean's Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: "Overland telegraph technology implicitly embodied a familiar image of electricity as being a mobile substance confined to conductors. But phenomena encountered in undersea telegraph cables presented a competing image, one far more suggestive of Faraday’s image of tension in a dielectric. Subsequent production of electromagnetic waves could be seen as the ultimate practical expression of Faraday’s 'tension' image. But if they were to serve as a communications medium, electromagnetic waves had not only to be produced but be detected; and although various detecting mechanisms were developed, their operation was mysterious: the received images of electric current appeared to provide little clarity."

Title A name given to the resource A Moral Philosophy That Will Change Your Life: On Emmanuel Levinas's Totality and Infinity Description An account of the resource Audio recording of a lecture given by tutor Claudia Hauer on January 30, 2026 as part of the Dean’s Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean’s Office has provided this description of the event: “Emmanuel Levinas is a moral philosopher of the highest order. A student of Martin Heidegger’s, Levinas absorbed the tools of the phenomenological method, yet was repulsed by his teacher’s (at best) moral neutrality and (at worst) moral depravity. Levinas puts his fluid method to work in the volume Totality and Infinity in order to distinguish between Totalities (which include political regimes) that can ideally administer a lukewarm morality in the form of justice and human rights, and Infinities, which give expression to the infinite individuality of each human being. Levinas grounds his ethics in his Talmudic conviction that morality originates in our duties to the poor, the widow and the orphan. His secular ethics in Totality and Infinity focuses on looking into the eyes of the stranger, the Other, and opening ourselves to an individual with a unique story to tell. Levinas cautions us against putting strangers into broad totalizing categories, such as the ‘abject poor and homeless,’ or the ‘suit-clad professional.’ Levinas reminds us that human moral sentiment originates in our ability to be surprised, moved, and touched by the infinity of the Other. Our St. John’s College community reflects Levinasian ethics in our willingness to meet one another in and out of the classroom, and engage in the play of free discourse with open-minded curiosity. In this talk, I will endeavor to outline the basics of Levinas’s ethics.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Hauer, Claudia Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available St. John's College Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Santa Fe, NM Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2026-01-30 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Meem Library has been given permission to make this item available online.

Title A name given to the resource Theism and Atheism in Patañjali's Yoga: Three Perspectives Description An account of the resource Audio recording of a lecture given by Andrew Nicholson on January 23, 2026 as part of the Dean’s Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean’s Office has provided this description of the event: “The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali (c. 4th century CE) have been an inspiration for philosophers and yoga practitioners for over 1500 years. For just as long, the meaning of certain terms in Patañjali’s celebrated text have been in dispute. One such dispute is the question of what Patañjali meant when he encouraged ‘dedication to the Lord’ (īśvara-pranidhāna, YS 2.32). Worshippers of Śiva and Viṣnu in medieval India took this to be a clear reference to an omnipotent, omniscient God, the source of all creation. By contrast, some western scholars in the 20th century understood this ‘Lord’ not as a God who possesses any agency of His own, but rather as one who exists merely as a passive object of meditation. The historian of religions Mircea Eliade, for instance, called Him the ‘archetypical yogi.’ I will argue, based on evidence from other first millennium CE works in Sanskrit, that there is a third possibility. Patañjali’s Lord is neither an absolute creator God nor a purely passive ‘archetype,’ but rather a compassionate, eternally liberated being who repeatedly takes embodiment in the world to help yogis break free from the afflictions that bind them to suffering.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Nicholson, Andrew Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available St. John's College Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Santa Fe, NM Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2026-01-23 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Meem Library has been given permission to make this item available online.

Title A name given to the resource The Virtues of Technological Obsolescence: Day, Berry, Lo-fi Description An account of the resource Audio recording of a lecture given by Erik Baker on December 12, 2025 as part of the Dean’s Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean’s Office has provided this description of the event: “People who are concerned about technological change, or who resist the adoption of new technologies, are often depicted as motivated by either an irrational fear of novelty or a purely material concern for their livelihoods. In this lecture, however, I show that many people in the modern U.S. who’ve sought to live and work with technical methods deemed obsolete have instead been animated by their desire to pursue a set of virtues they feel they could not achieve utilizing state-of-the-art technologies. I focus on three distinctive cultural milieus: the Catholic Worker movement led by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin in the 1930s and 1940s; the back-to-the-land movement of the 1960s and 1970s, whose ideals were eloquently expressed by the poet and farmer Wendell Berry; and the ‘lo-fi’ music movement of the 1990s, exemplified by artists such as Pavement, Guided by Voices, and the Mountain Goats. To a surprising extent, these movements all prized a common set of virtues, including humility, self-sufficiency, and creative expression, which they believed they could only cultivate by working with ‘outdated’ technology. But they differed in their assessment of the extent to which it was possible for individuals to fully perform these virtues without broader changes to the political and economic structures of modern society.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Baker, Erik Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available St. John's College Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Santa Fe, NM Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2025-12-12 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Meem Library has been given permission to make this item available online.

Title A name given to the resource Considerations on Play (παιδιά) and Liberal Education in Plato's Republic Description An account of the resource Audio recording of a lecture given by Antoine Pageau-St-Hilaire on December 5, 2025 as part of the Dean’s Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean’s Office has provided this description of the event: “In both the Republic and the Laws, the leader of the philosophical conversation claims that the goodness of the πóλις and its citizens depend on the goodness or fineness of its civic play (παιδιά) (cf. Resp. 558b3-5, Leg. 803c2-e2). Why? Arguably, and following several hints from both dialogues, because good play and good education coincide. But even if this is true, we are then faced with a further question: why does good education coincide with good play? Why should good education be playful, or good play educative? At a crucial point in Book VII of Plato’s Republic, Socrates tells Glaucon that play is best suited to the education of a free person (έλεύθερος) (536e1-537a1). And it is quite clear from the context that he does not simply mean moral-political education, but also and chiefly philosophical education. In this lecture, I propose to examine the reasons that may lead Socrates to affirm such a thing, and for his interlocutor(s) to seemingly accept his affirmation (cf. 537a3). Why is liberal education playful? Or why is play especially suited to liberal education? How does this thought – although undeveloped in the context of its affirmation – relate to Socrates’ other famous comments on the nature of good education in the Republic, most notably that genuine education is a conversion of the soul and not a transmission of knowledge (521c6; cf. 518b6-d7)? Taking a close look at relevant passages from the text, I shall address these questions with the hope that they not only help us get a better grasp of Plato’s vision of good education, but also, and perhaps most importantly, that they help us understand better our own contemporary educational experiences.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Pageau-St-Hilaire, Antoine Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available St. John's College Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Santa Fe, NM Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2025-12-05 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Meem Library has been given permission to make this item available online.

The Dean’s Office has provided this description of the event: “This talk offers a close reading of St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, focusing on the discussion of the economy of salvation in chapters 5-8. It looks especially at the relationship between the Mosaic Law and the New Covenant, what Paul means by ‘sin,’ and how his view of the sinful condition of human beings grounds his understanding of their relationship to God and Jesus Christ. The Epistle to the Romans is one of the most disputed texts ever written. There are full, line-by-line commentaries about it by at least four authors who often appear on the St. John’s program, St. Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin and (perhaps surprisingly) John Locke, and extended discussions by several others. While the subject of this talk is Romans, it looks to the readings and reflections of other program authors to try to make sense of Paul’s thoughts and to explain some key alternatives to it.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dempsey, Erik Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available St. John's College Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Santa Fe, NM Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2025-11-14 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Meem Library has been given permission to make this item available online.
