Haloed, hated, lauded, loathed, desired dead, oft resurrected - the French Revolution is one of those turning points in Western and, indeed, world history you can neither get around, nor ignore.

And so join us this Wednesday, [06.09.2023], at 19:00 as we dive deep into this event that shook Europe's foundations and, indeed, those of the whole West.

22/08/2023

Join us this Wednesday, 23.08.2023, for the second talk in the series providing a brief overview of Western thought from the 15th to the 19th century by means of selected texts from the Western literary canon, the focus being somewhat biassed toward the German canon.

This week, our topic is the dark ages. Just joking! Or perhaps not... We'll be looking at the Enlightenment, the Sturm und Drang, [a rebellious youth movement that strongly opposed the Enlightenment's emphasis on rationality], and Weimar Classicism, [sprouting from the ill success of the French Revolution and seeking to temper the Enlightenment by striving for a new harmonious ideal in art, the individual, and society]. At the heart of the talk will be the question: "What shall we do with the faith problem?".

See you at 19:00, just after the weekly logic class.

14/08/2023

Join us this Wednesday, [16 August], for the first of three talks which strive to provide a brief overview of Western thought by means of a selection of great literary texts from the European canon.

This first talk covers the period from around 1400 to 1720.

Our Story

Ratio Christi (Latin for ‘The Reason of Christ’) seeks to encourage and strengthen the faith of Christian students at universities around the world through the use of intellectual investigation and apologetics, while sharing Christ's message and love to those that have yet to receive it. We place Christian apologetics clubs at secular, liberal, religious, public, and private universities around the world in order to take part in the battle for the mind. These chapters have regular meetings where students and faculty can wrestle with ideas relating to the intellectual credibility of Christianity by encouraging dialogue and stimulating discussion. Scripture commands us not only to develop our heart, but also our minds (Matt 22:37), and Ratio Christi seeks to help university students fulfill this commandment by discussing the pressing questions of worldviews, science, philosophy, history and culture. Ratio Christi also provides a safe and charitable venue for atheists, agnostics, skeptics, and adherents to any religion to investigate the claims of Christianity, discuss religious beliefs, and seek truth without fearing reprisal. While this is a distinctly Christian organization, any student is able to become a member and learn, debate, and explore the connection of faith and reason.
