¡Lawrence Dewan…in Spanish!
/A while back Fr Lawrence Dewan shared with me the new that there is a "Dewan Project" at Sergio Arboleda University in Bogota, Columbia. Under the supervision of Liliana Beatriz Irizar, who just published the book, Tras las Huellas del Sentido: Sabiduria y Felicidad en Lawrence Dewan (Bogota, 2008), the Dewan Project website has numerous resources about the work of Dewan, in Spanish, but also in English (here, with PDFs from Stephen Brock and Peter Kwasniewski).
Liliana Irizar provides an update and further explanation:
“We have already translated into Spanish his Marquette Lecture, thefive lectures of the Seminar on Metaphysical Foundations of Ethics (it was the Seminar’s content which Fr. Dewan gave us during his Bogotá stay last September) and his lecture on Human Rights and Human Dignity (it was Fr. Dewan’s lecture also gave here inour University). Moreover, I am preparing an article entitled “Form and Being in Saint Thomas. A study of Lawrence Dewan’s metaphysical approach.” In addition to this, we plan to publish two books in the near future: Metaphysics for Beginners and The Ontological Foundations of the Spiritual Life. Both books will contain different Fr. Dewan´s writings translated into Spanish. Thus, we need to get quite a lot of people for this task.”
