'Solved by Sacrifice' : Austin Farrer, Fideism, and The
‘SOLVED BY SACRIFICE’ : AUSTIN FARRER, FIDEISM, AND THE EVIDENCE OF FAITH Robert Carroll MacSwain A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St. Andrews 2010 Full metadata for this item is available in the St Andrews Digital Research Repository at: https://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/920 This item is protected by original copyright ‘SOLVED BY SACRIFICE’: Austin Farrer, Fideism, and the Evidence of Faith Robert Carroll MacSwain A thesis submitted to the School of Divinity of the University of St Andrews in candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The saints confute the logicians, but they do not confute them by logic but by sanctity. They do not prove the real connection between the religious symbols and the everyday realities by logical demonstration, but by life. Solvitur ambulando, said someone about Zeno’s paradox, which proves the impossibility of physical motion. It is solved by walking. Solvitur immolando, says the saint, about the paradox of the logicians. It is solved by sacrifice. —Austin Farrer v ABSTRACT 1. A perennial (if controversial) concern in both theology and philosophy of religion is whether religious belief is ‘reasonable’. Austin Farrer (1904-1968) is widely thought to affirm a positive answer to this concern. Chapter One surveys three interpretations of Farrer on ‘the believer’s reasons’ and thus sets the stage for our investigation into the development of his religious epistemology. 2. The disputed question of whether Farrer became ‘a sort of fideist’ is complicated by the many definitions of fideism. -

The current research program of the center, which runs from March 1, 2007 – February 28, 2012, is entitled "The Self: An Integrative Approach". The Center’s research is divided into six sections: • Self and consciousness • Core self and extended self: A viable distinction? • Infantile self-experience: A developmental perspective • Self, emotions and understanding • Disorders of self • Self and normativity Although the Center’s research is mainly focused on conceptual and theoretical issues, it is not a narrowly conceived philosophical investigation, but one that is enriched and informed by empirical research, and which involves active collaboration with psychologists, psychiatrists and neuroscientists. 1 During 2007 the Center organized, co-organized, and/or co-sponsored 7 conferences and workshops (with more than 140 speakers) as well as 10 individual guest lectures by invited speakers, and it had more than 45 foreign visitors. -

St Benet’s NewsAugust 2018 INSIDE THIS ISSUE Welcome to the latest issue of the St Benet’s newsletter. For this edition, we have followed the example of many of the other colleges in producing an annual, rather than a termly edition. We are therefore featuring a pictorial “Year in the Life of Benet’s”, giving a flavour of what has been happening here over the past academic year. Undoubtedly, the main event was the 120th Anniversary Gaudy, held in the House of Commons on Friday 3rd November 2017, hosted by alum, Damian Green MP. 176 Benetians and friends came together on that evening to celebrate the Hall’s history. It was particularly pleasing to have three Benet’s Masters together for the event. The present Master, Prof Werner G Jeanrond was joined by Fr Henry Wansbrough OSB (1990-2004) and Fr Felix Stephens OSB (2007-2012). As many of you will have heard, Prof Werner Jeanrond, will end his six-year term as Master of Benet’s at the end of August 2018 and will take up the Chair of Dogmatics at the University of Oslo. Under his leadership, Benet’s has successfully gone fully co-educational, has acquired a much-needed second building, has expanded its graduate numbers considerably, and is extremely well-regarded across the University — the Vice-Chancellor, Prof Louise Richardson has publicly stated: “Oxford needs St Benet’s”. Recruitment for Werner’s replacement will start in the autumn and news of the Interim Master will be announced shortly. I will also be leaving my role as Alumni Officer & PA to the Master at the end of August. -

The Chronicle 2015-2016
St Hugh’s College Oxford A record of news, events and achievements within the St Hugh’s College community for the academic year 2015-16 CHRONICLE October 2015 - September 2016 ST HUGH’S COLLEGE CHRONICLE 2015-16 Editorial Helen Popescu (English, 2006), Publications Officer The writing of this Editorial could not come at a more appropriate time for me. In the ten years since I matriculated, I have been fortunate to remain involved with College throughout. Now, as I prepare to leave my role as Publications Officer, it is a great pleasure to reflect on how the College has evolved and grown in this time. I hope that this Chronicle evinces some of the great strengths of the past academic year, and gives reason to trust that these can be matched and surpassed in the year to come. Many of the reports in the Chronicle, and particularly those of the JCR and MCR, celebrate the diversity of human experience generated by bringing together gifted students from an enormous variety of backgrounds. This has always been, and must remain, the core of College’s purpose, especially when the uncertainty following the decision for the UK to leave the European Union has been so pervasive. This year’s ‘Articles by Alumni’ focus on unusual paths taken after leaving College. If I could share any advice with my first year undergraduate self, it would be that choosing an uncommon career trajectory, although daunting, is also incredibly gratifying. It was such a delight this year to receive many reports of our alumni’s achievements in a variety of different fields – thank you to all those of you who shared your news. -
