About the Lecture

Louis Bouyer once said that Dietrich von Hildebrand was the most important Catholic thinker between the two world wars. Prof. Crosby will argue that von Hildebrand—original philosopher, transcendent religious writer, heroic anti-Nazi crusader, and ardent lover of beauty—was not just a man for that time, but for our time as well. He will show us how to hear von Hildebrand's distinctive voice, and he will explain its perennial significance.
