Xenophon’s Cyropaedia: The Limits of Political Excellence

Audio recording of a lecture given by tutor Janet Dougherty on November 4, 2022 as part of the Dean's Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: "Cyrus, Xenophon tells us in the first chapter of the Cyropaedia (The Education of Cyrus), knew how to rule humans, animals who are notoriously difficult to govern. In his manner of ruling Cyrus seems to combine the just with the fitting – he alone is fit to rule, and his subjects willingly obey. His rule extends over all the inhabitable world and leaves no room for dissent. Unlike his subjects, Cyrus reveres neither god nor country. He loves no one. For him the political horizon is complete. But Cyrus’s conquest of Croesus, his final great victory, points to the limitations of Cyrus’s government. When Croesus claims to have learned self-knowledge in his conquest by Cyrus and to look forward to being “blessedly happy” under Cyrus’s rule, he dissembles, displaying his prudence. He is so careful that Cyrus is “amazed at his good spirits” after his defeat. But, Xenophon observes, Cyrus took the defeated Croesus wherever he went “…either because he believed that he was somehow useful or because he held it to be safer in this way”. Cyrus’s distrust of Croesus indicates that within the horizon of politics there is no room for individual virtue. While Cyrus exhorts others to be “noble and good,” it is obedience that he rewards. Xenophon’s study of politics points beyond Cyrus and beyond politics, to a study of the human soul that politics cannot comprehend.

What it Means to be Human: The Case for the Body in Public Bioethics

Audio recording of a lecture given by O. Carter Snead on October 7, 2022 as part of the Dean's Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: "The natural limits of the human body make us vulnerable and dependent on others. Yet law and policy concerning biomedical research and the practice of medicine frequently disregard these stubborn facts. O. Carter Snead makes the case for a new paradigm and framework for public bioethics, one rooted in a vision of human identity and flourishing that supports those who are profoundly vulnerable and dependent -- children, the disabled and the elderly. He addresses three complex issues: abortion, assisted reproductive technology and end-of-life decisions. Avoiding typical dichotomies of conservative-liberal and secular-religious, he recasts debates within his framework of embodiment and dependence, concluding that if the law is built on premises that reflect our lived experience, it will provide support for the vulnerable."

What is Happening With the Supreme Court?

United States. Constitution.</a>
Audio recording of a lecture given by tutor Martha Franks on September 16, 2022 as part of the Dean's Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: "The United States Supreme Court has recently rendered several newsworthy, controversial rulings. In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, for example, the Court overturned an earlier Supreme Court recognition of a Constitutional right to abortion. The sweeping social changes that this decision has caused come about because new members of the Court interpret the Constitution differently than earlier Courts had done. How can so tiny a group of unelected lawyers, by shifting their approach to the interpretation of the text of the Constitution, wield so much power to alter the laws by which the whole nation is governed? (We at St. John’s may be less surprised than others that differing interpretation of texts can lead to radically different opinions about their meanings.) This lecture will discuss the role of the Supreme Court in the Constitution and in American judicial history, as well as considering how the Supreme Court does its work of interpretation."

War and Beefs: Gang Violence in The Illiad

Social interaction</a>
Audio recording of a lecture given by Jill Leovy on November 18, 2022 as part of the Dean's Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: "The Iliad supplies a detailed and recognizable description of what the Italian mafia scholar Maurizio Catino has dubbed “horizontal” governance -- that is, lateral rule by peers rather than top-down rule by a centralized authority. The same style of order is found the world over -- in feud societies, bandit cultures, and the various small-scale and “stateless” societies studied by anthropologists. It’s also the surprisingly uniform ordering principle of street gangs, criminal groups and paramilitaries in contemporary urban societies. What can we learn about horizontal orders by reading Homer? To what extent can his descriptions shed light on this seminal form of social organization, also known as the protection racket? By the same token, how can an understanding of urban street violence illuminate The Iliad?"

Audio recording of a lecture given by tutor Lin Atnip on September 29, 2023 as part of the Dean's Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: “After one has abandoned a belief in god, poetry is that essence which takes its place as life’s redemption.” — So writes Wallace Stevens, a giant of American modernist poetry, in one of his aphoristic “adagia.” In this lecture we will attempt to understand what he meant, or might have meant, in this odd and perhaps disturbing formulation. What is the role of poetry in our contemporary world, at turns banal and catastrophe-ridden? We will seek our answer through consideration of some of Stevens’ other prose writings and, of course, his poetry -- and maybe, if successful, find a little redemption."

Audio recording of a tutor panel given by Judith Adam, Seth Appelbaum, Grant Franks, Eric Poppele and Ahmed Siddiqi on September 9, 2022 as part of the Dean's Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: "Because it attempts to engage directly with the natural world and the question of Nature, Freshman Laboratory is possibly the most radical of beginnings that we make in our studies at St. John’s. Tutors will discuss some of the first themes of Freshman Laboratory and its challenging readings (looking, classification, causes), how these themes help us to approach and come to know the natural world, and how such beginnings might relate to our extended study of Science throughout the laboratory program at St. John’s."

Audio recording of a tutor panel given by tutors Chris Cohoon, Claudia Hauer, David McDonald and Sarah Stickney on September 2, 2022 as part of the Dean's Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: "Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey stand at the beginning of the St. John’s Program as foundational accounts of the deepest human questions: loss, death, war, love, beauty, family, politics, and the divine. For millennia, Homer’s poems have been guides into these questions as they arise in the shared or solitary plight of lived experience. In this panel, four tutors will explore ways of reading Homer and of entering the world his poetry unfolds."
