For students interested in joining lights such as Michael Novak, Robert Royal, Bill Saunders, Joe Wood, and Fr. Derek Cross in eastern Slovakia to explore the political, economic, and moral-cultural dimensions of free society in the thought of Popes Benedict XVI and John Paul II, the Federalist Papers, and Alexis de Tocqueville, we encourage you to apply for the twelfth annual Slovak Seminar on the Free Society.
The seminar began as Michael Novak, Rocco Buttiglione, and Josef Seifert’s response to the publication of the papal encyclical Centesimus Annus and the desirability of forming “an international study group for European and American dialogue on the intellectual questions that lie ahead of modern societies.”
