 Philosophy Scholar to Present Delasanta Lecture at PC

Providence, RI--Msgr. Robert Sokolowski, the Elizabeth Breckenridge Caldwell Professor of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America, will present the second annual Rodney Delasanta Honors Lecture at Providence College on Wednesday, April 9, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. The lecture, which is open the public, will take place in the Feinstein Academic Center, Room 400. Msgr. Sokolowski will speak on the topic of "Truth and the Human Person."

The lecture is sponsored by the Liberal Arts Honors Program, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The lecture is named for Dr. Rodney K. Delasanta '53, professor of English, who directed the Honors Program from 1987-2004. Dr. Delasanta died in April 2007 after teaching for more than 40 years at the College.

Msgr. Sokolowski is internationally renowned for his work in philosophy, especially in the field of phenomenology. He has published over 90 articles and is the author of 10 books.

His most recent book, Christian Faith and Human Understanding: Studies in the Eucharist, Trinity, and the Human Person (The Catholic University of America Press, 2006), studies the relationship between faith and reason in Christianity, particularly in the context of creation and the human person.
