Killeen Chair of Theology & Philosophy Lecture, "Medicine Ancient and Modern" with Jim Hankinson, Ph.D.

Register

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.

This year's speaker, Jim Hankinson, Ph.D., is a professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin.

The Killeen Chair of Theology & Philosophy Speaker Series aims to bring well-known scholars of theology and philosophy, and their work, to SNC. The program strives to emphasize the importance of theology and philosophy in a liberal arts education; to highlight St. Norbert College's commitment to a personally, intellectually, and spiritually challenging education; and to benefit the college, the Diocese of Green Bay, and the broader community of northeast Wisconsin.
