The desire of the mind for God and the telos of the Catholic university.
Garcia, Kenneth N.

The desire of the mind for God and the telos of the Catholic university. - 268 p.

Adviser: Lawrence S. Cunningham.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Notre Dame, 2008.

This dissertation will present a theologically-grounded understanding of academic freedom that contrasts with the prevailing secular understanding. In practice, academic inquiry and freedom have become restricted to narrow disciplinary islands in which the scholar is constrained from exploring the relation of knowledge in particular disciplines to broader philosophical and theological contexts. The modern university has become, in many ways, an archipelago of disciplinary islands with little connection to one another or to the whole of knowledge.

520 $a This dissertation will present a theologically-grounded understanding of academic freedom that contrasts with the prevailing secular understanding. In practice, academic inquiry and freedom have become restricted to narrow disciplinary islands in which the scholar is constrained from exploring the relation of knowledge in particular disciplines to broader philosophical and theological contexts. The modern university has become, in many ways, an archipelago of disciplinary islands with little connection to one another or to the whole of knowledge.
520 $a Placing academic freedom on a theological foundation requires reclaiming a theonomous approach to scholarship that recognizes the desire of the mind for God as the basis of academic freedom. Theonomy means autonomous reason grounded in its own spiritual depth, rather than in autonomous reason severed from its spiritual depth. Theonomy means bringing a spiritual dimension, informed by a tradition, to one's academic studies. The human mind restlessly inquires and pursues truth until it rests in ultimate truth of God. Any topic, if pursued long and deeply enough, eventually leads to questions about God, about who or what created the universe and gave it intelligibility. These questions cannot be answered from within the limits of any particular science. This drive for ultimate truth must be acknowledged as the telos of the Catholic university. All scholars and students must have the freedom to pursue this truth beyond the confines of their academic discipline. Moreover, there must be some scholars in all disciplines who can make connections between disciplinary knowledge and religious truth.
520 $a The dissertation will trace historically how the American understanding of academic freedom arose during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in an atmosphere of hostility to religion, a hostility provoked in part by religious authorities' heteronomous interference in the life of the mind. Therefore, religious believers hold a share of the blame for the constricted understanding of academic freedom. Catholic universities adopted academic freedom following Vatican II, but it was founded on secular, not theological, principles. It is now time to provide a theologically-grounded understanding of academic freedom, one that completes secular notions.
