Friday Night Lectures

Throughout the year, we host several events featuring leading thinkers from around the world. These lectures cover a wide range of topics, including politics, art, science, theology, law, and more.

Reading the works of Plato, Erasmus, Shakespeare, and other seminal thinkers sharpens our thinking and provides valuable perspective on modern challenges, but we must also apply these ideas to today’s realities. The Friday Night Lectures serve this purpose, offering a platform for reflection on both pressing issues and timeless questions. Discussions are then led by Pascal faculty, students, and attendees.

‘Restless is Our Heart’

In our upcoming lecture we will explore how the longing of the human heart for happiness informs the great political questions of war and peace. Is the desire for world peace simply a utopian fantasy, or does it reveal something profound about the human condition? Through the work of Augustine we will unravel what his ideas can teach us today.
