Killeen Chair of Theology

The Killeen Chair of Theology & Philosophy is a resource that underscores the importance of theology and philosophy in a Catholic liberal arts education and highlights the commitment of St. Norbert College to provide an education that is personally, intellectually and spiritually challenging.

Thursday, December 4, 2025 - 7pm, Webb Theatre

Modern medicine really is very…modern. Most current practices and their theoretical underpinnings would have been largely unrecognizable two centuries ago, when doctors still practiced in the shadows cast by their Greco-Roman predecessors. But for all that, there are some surprising continuities between modern and ancient medicine. In this lecture, eminent philosopher and historian of science Dr. R.J. Hankinson will sketch both the continuities and (often entertaining) discontinuities.
