Over the next several months we will highlight a few of our Columbanus Fellows, bringing to light the character of students engaged in our program! These fellows are engaged in a rigorous and deep inquiry into the Western intellectual tradition, seeking both to retrieve lost wisdom and to further its presence in our society today.
Lance H. Gracy is a Doctoral Candidate and Teaching Fellow in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas. He received his M.A. in Philosophy from the University of Texas-San Antonio and his B.A. in Philosophy and Religious Studies from the University of the Incarnate Word. His dissertation is an articulation, exegesis, and/or elucidation of the wisdom, metaphysics, and religion of St. Bonaventure’s Collationes in Hexaemeron vis-à-vis contemporary environmental philosophy.
Lance’s interests at the Lyceum Institute include Latin, semiotic metaphysics, the grammatical and rhetorical art of the “scholastic mystagogy” genre of medieval commentary, and other interests. As a Columbanus Fellow at the Lyceum Institute, he shares a form of devotion with others to the pursuit of true leisure, as well as to a recovery of the “bookish character” of academic study.
If you are at all able, please make a small donation to support Lance and the rest of the Fellows in their dedication and desire to learn and share their knowledge with the rest of the world.
