The 2013 McMahon Aquinas Lecture "Natural Law and the Eclipse of Liberal Education" Professor Thomas Hibbs

In this lecture, Professor Hibbs will consider recent literature on the crisis in higher education, particularly as it concerns the loss of any sense of a unified end of, or inherent purpose in, university education.  He will offer a Catholic response that focuses on a broadly Thomistic account of human nature.

Thomas Hibbs is Dean of the Honors College and Distinguished Professor of Ethics and Culture at Baylor University.  He has written numerous scholarly books on Thomas Aquinas and on popular culture, and is a prolific commentator on film, culture, and higher education in the popular media.
