Today we introduce another of our Columbanus Fellows—who are demonstrating their commitment and desire to grow in knowledge, wisdom, and understanding through a creative retrieval of the classic Western tradition and participation in genuine dialogical inquiry.
Bea Cuasay is an alumna of Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame. She received a B.A. in Philosophy with a minor in Humanistic Studies (History and Literature). She was a few credits short of a Music minor in voice and organ. In addition to her studies at Saint Mary’s, she completed a minor in Constitutional Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Her academic interests, which are varied, include: relational and Trinitarian ontology; ancient, late antique, and medieval philosophy; the history of philosophy; philosophical anthropology; virtue ethics; political philosophy; patristics; and Byzantine and Roman liturgical, mystical, and historical theology.
Bea’s interests at the Lyceum Institute are everything St. Thomas Aquinas, Latin and Greek, and gaining a deeper understanding of the Trivium, linguistics, philology, semiotics, and phenomenology. As a Columbanus Fellow, she enjoys the warm camaraderie of pursuing wisdom and truth in love. By practicing the virtue of studiositas in the contemplation afforded by true leisure, in both the hēsychia and scholē senses of the term, through her studies at the Lyceum Institute, she hopes, in the words of St. Thomas (and Josef Pieper), to become more capax universi… et in vivendum vita contemplativa contemplere et contemplata aliis tradere.
If you are able, please support Bea and the other Fellows with a donation to our Columbanus Fellowship fund.
