Professor Cecilia TrifogliJoin the Medieval Institute for its final lecture of the semester, with Cecilia Trifogli, professor of Medieval philosophy at the University of Oxford, speaking on "Medieval Views on the Subject of Thought and the Intellectual Soul." About the Talk The general issue addressed in my talk is how deep the difference between human beings as rational animals and the other kinds of animals is. Are human beings fundamentally unlike the other animals or are they nothing more than the most complex animals? In the Aristotelian tradition, there are two major topics relevant to this issue: (i) the subject of thought and (ii) the nature of the intellectual soul. My main focus will be Aquinas's view on these topics. This is arguably Aquinas's most sophisticated contribution to the Aristotelian theory of human nature and was highly influential. It did not meet, however, universal consent. Remarkable objections were raised even by one of Aquinas’s closest followers, Giles of Rome, and later on, in the third decade of the 14th century by Thomas Wylton. These are the two opponents to Aquinas I shall consider in this talk. About the Speaker Professor of Medieval Philosophy at the University of Oxford (2008–present) and Fellow of All Souls College (1999–present), Professor Trifogli holds degrees from the Universities of Pisa (M.A. Philosophy, M.A. Mathematics) and Milan (Ph.D. Mathematics). A Fellow of the British Academy since 2014, her research centers on medieval Aristotelian philosophy, metaphysics, and epistemology. Recent work includes editing Questions on Aristotle's Physics by Geoffrey of Aspall and a forthcoming co-edited volume on medieval conceptions of space and time.

Learning Beyond the Classics: Film Noir: Influences and InspirationsDirected by Orson WellesWith Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, Orson WellesRated PG-13, 108 minutes, DCPIn English and Spanish with English subtitlesAlthough not well received upon arrival in the United States, Touch of Evil found its footing in European cinemas and, roughly a decade and change later, became highly regarded with critics and audiences back home. Today, it's often cited as one of Orson Welles best pictures despite the tumultuous relationship he had with the studio during filming. Set along the border between Mexico and the United States, the story revolves around an American police captain, Hank Quinlan (Welles), who is investigating a bombing that may have been a set-up. As Quinlan's increasingly unethical methods are uncovered, Mexican narcotics officer Mike Vargas (Charlton Heston) must navigate a tense, morally ambiguous landscape to seek the truth and justice.

This exhibit commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War (1939-45) using primarily European visual sources recently acquired by Rare Books & Special Collections. It showcases more than 40 works on paper, including posters, maps, propaganda ephemera, and illustrated books, as well as photographs and first-hand accounts. The exhibit explores themes of Nazi racial ideology, the Holocaust, children in war, resistance, liberation, and memories of war. By examining images created for personal use and for state-sponsored propaganda, the exhibit presents a visual narrative of the war’s profound impact on individuals and societies, offering deeper insight into how this war was experienced and remembered. This exhibit is curated by Natasha Lyandres, Curator, Rare Books & Special Collections; Jean McManus, Catholic Studies Librarian, University Archives; and Julia Schneider, German Language and Literature and Italian Studies Librarian, Hesburgh Libraries. This and other exhibits within the Hesburgh Libraries are generously supported by the McBrien Special Collections Endowment. All exhibits are free and open to the public during business hours.
