Abstract

The Center for Law and the Human Person at The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law (Catholic Law) hosted Professor Daniel Mahoney of Assumption University for a lecture on “Freedom, Moral Purpose, and Self-Limitation: The Enduring Wisdom of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.”

Following an opening prayer and brief introduction by Center co-director Elizabeth Kirk, Mahoney delivered remarks on Solzhenitsyn’s philosophical contributions to an audience that filled the Walter A. Slowinski Courtroom. After sharing various fascinating biographical details about Solzhenitsyn, Mahoney described Solzhenitsyn’s enduring legacy as a fearless champion for the truth and an implacable opponent of the Soviet Union’s totalitarian regime.
