REMEMBER THIS EVENT AND THESE DATES!
THE FOURTH ANNUAL AQUINAS LEADERSHIP INTERNATIONAL WORLD CONGRESS
"Augustine, Aquinas, and the Apologetics of the New Reformation(s)"
Thursday 13 July 2017 to Sunday 16 July 2017
Immaculate Conception Seminary, Huntington, Long Island, NY
For information contact:
In addition to sessions dealing with Mortimer J. Adler, Max Weismann, C.S. Lewis, Romano Guardini, Sts. Aurelius Augustine and Thomas Aquinas as apologists and reformers, some of this year’s conference participants will be doing topics related to John Senior, René Girard, Charles Sanders Peirce, Thomas Sebeok, John N. Deely, Étienne Gilson, Michael Novak, and Frank Sheed. (Anyone interested in participating in the panel on Romano Guardini should contact Prof. Thaddeus Kozinski atsocratespelican@gmail.com). If you would like to participate in a session related to one of these authors, or some other author, and some other topic, please let me know by mid-June at the email address immediately above. I have put together a first draft of the program. By mid-June I would like to receive a copy of a short, one-paragraph abstract of proposed paper presentations and,if possible, a copy of the completed presentation to email to other participants. Having the paper available before the Congress will allow presenters who wish to do so simply to give a summary of their papers, leaving time for us to focus on discussion of their topic.
For those of you not familiar with it, the July meeting in Huntington is an annual world congress started in 2014 to help renew the West by renewing common sense. The Adler-Aquinas Institute (AAI) is a co-sponsor. The chief sponsor is the Aquinas Leadership International group, an affiliate of the Adler-Aquinas Institute, Aquinas School of Leadership, International Étienne Gilson Society, Studia Gilsoniana journal, Center for the Study of The Great Ideas, London Center for Policy Research, the Catholic Education Foundation, Caritas Consulting, Holy Apostles College and Seminary, The King’s College (NYC), and other co-sponsors.
I encourage those who have firmly decided to participate in the meeting and stay at the Seminary to start contacting me with proposed dates of arrival and departure. The room reservation includes Congress registration, 9 terrific meals at the Seminary, and access to all sessions and cocktail receptions.
You can find presentations from some of our prior meetings at this link:
This should give you a good idea of what I look for from presenters and what to expect at the Congress.

● Call for Papers, A conference organized by the Telos-Paul Piccone Institute and Higher School of Economics, Moscow, September 1–2, 2017, at the HSE in Moscow
About the Conference
Twenty-five years after the end of the Cold War, there is arguably a crisis of democracy: not only has the transition from totalitarian communism failed to bring about liberal market capitalism, but politics in mature democracies has been becoming post-democratic. Models of authoritarianism and state capitalism are spreading in different parts of the world, while countries with long-standing democratic traditions are characterized by a rejection of the political mainstream and a turn to extremes on the far left or the far right.
The theme of this conference is the question of constitutional order after revolution and the transition from one political system to another. Amid the crisis of existing models, there is both an intellectual and a practical urgency to explore different kinds of state forms, models of sovereignty, conceptions of democracy, and political legitimacy. Crucially, the focus is less on the purely institutional arrangements or the policy dimension and more on enduring cultural norms and social practices that underpin both constitution and politics.
Abstract Submissions
Abstracts for this conference will only be accepted from current Telos-Paul Piccone Institute members. In order to become a member, please visit our membership enrollment page. Telos-Paul Piccone Institute memberships are valid until the end of the annual New York City conference.
