<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>How Science Confirms and Complements Catholic Sexual Ethics: Chastity, Psychotherapy, and Neuroscience</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This IAP course explores the topic of sexuality and self-mastery from classical philosophical and theological perspectives informed by evidence-based cognitive psychology and contemporary neuroscience. We will discuss how pleasure,
reason, emotions, habit, will-power, commitments, love, and freedom coincide and often conflict, and will propose a framework for answering current questions. Professor: Fr. Robert Gahl, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Ethics at the Pontifical University of
the Holy Cross (Santa Croce) in Rome. Five classes between 1/15-1/22, 6-8:30 pm, dinner provided. For more info, see
