      ab: This piece is the text of the lecture delivered at an academic forum held last November 25, 2024 on the occasion of the feast day of St. Catherine of Alexandria. The event was organized by the Faculty of Philosophy Students’ Forum under the auspices of the Faculty of Philosophy of the UST Ecclesiastical Faculties. As the title suggests, the talk focuses on the “courage to think,” a virtue closely identified with St. Catherine of Alexandria. In my remarks, I identified three possible areas where the “courage to think” may be practiced today, namely, the life of the mind, truth-telling and the act of believing. The three areas do not exhaust the possibilities where the virtue of “courage to think” may be demonstrated but they represent the normative domains closest to the experience of the young seminarians and aspiring apprentices of philosophy in the audience. The selection and identification of the said areas also serve as a reminder for potential readers of the need to discover new ways of appropriating the legacy of St. Catherine of Alexandria.
