Hello! I am still in Manila and I will be back to Davao on Saturday 10AM. So for your session 2 last week, you saw Fr. Norris W. Clarke, SJ discussing the "self" and eudaimonia and the value of conscience and its relations to human dignity. Fr. Clarke is a Jesuit philosopher based in Fordham University, New York. He is a famous Thomist thinker of our time. He went to Ateneo de Manila last 1998 to give a series of lectures on various philosophical topics, which were recorded on video for purposes of showing these lectures in the classroom.
