Sophia Connell's Latest Book

Been reading bits of Sophia Connell's new #Aristotle book & it looks brilliant - especially its argument on how Aristotle (surprisingly) allowed for philosophical women.
It's actually free until August 13th (thanks @CambUP_PHILNYUK) https://t.co/Gg4848UK1R

The Proceedings

Geneaology Established Properly?

So it is now clear that Locke knew and admired Hobbes. This may well mean that Leo Strauss was essentially right to see a continuity between the too and so Hobbes as a key founder of liberalism. (Nigel Biggar take note re his reaction to my reading of him.) https://t.co/O7v7ayL9qk

A Critique of Usury

“The natural rate theory demands faith in an unseen entity: the natural rate of interest. Its proponents ... assure that if economists have enough faith in this entity ..., we will be the recipients of economic grace. It is an eminently Protestant theory.”

Awesome. https://t.co/Ri64FcJw7x

Charles Malik

The folks at @FordhamOrthodox and a lecture by @samuelmoyn helped me understand the history of Charles Malik and other people of faith who, after World War 2, drew upon on Christian theology to form a concept of Human Rights at the UN. https://t.co/SWjiQhWedl

Gladden Pappin on Liberalism

Thanks to @GChristiemd for a great interview on EWTN Radio’s @ConvosTCA.

We discussed why liberalism always remains in tension with the Church, and why liberalism’s failed promises of individual autonomy have collapsed into today’s addiction economy

Protestants and Natural Law Theory

The rejection of natural law theory is one of the most unnecessary and tragic moves in Protestant ethics over the last seventy-five years. The more I teach from the perspective of biblical natural law, the more I see students' understanding of God's Word and world come alive.

The Greatest? No.

Not that anyone associated with Commonweal should be trusted as having right judgment.

The legendary Catholic philosopher Charles Taylor is our era's greatest theorist of community and solidarity.

Critics of Enlightenment Rationalism

"Callahan and McIntrye have offered us a series of critiques of Enlightenment rationalism, featuring a diverse range of thinkers, such as Kierkegaard, Tocqueville, Nietzsche, Polanyi, Heidegger, Gadamer, and Voegelin." - @_jestingpilate_ for @ubookman https://t.co/bAZjYjwjSP pic.twitter.com/7J1QxVFADN

Missing Something, and It's not Small

This piece is correct on the importance of a common culture for a community. But this recommendation is naive and more akin to liberalism than any sort of moral realism. "Instead of either self isolation or a live and let live attitude which hides the deep divides in our communities, we must meet this moral division head on and seek to convince each other to reject the immoral and live together in unity."
