Saving Christian Civilization Through Eros
By Peter S. Rieth on Jan 26, 2020 08:00 pm
What I behold today is a Western world of “tolerance” and homosexual-inspired androgyny, so morally bankrupt and decadent that even the natural, primitive sexual appetites that make women attractive for men have been erased. It has come to this: Conservatives must now begin the restoration of civilization by promoting erotic love in order to ...

“Christos”
Music and the Transcendental
By Sir Roger Scruton on Jan 27, 2020 03:00 pm
Wherever we are—in restaurants or in the Metro or wherever—we are overhearing music coming at us from all angles, and we are learning how to ignore it. We live in a society where, if we do not learn to ignore it, we cannot also learn to listen to it. This puts an enormous strain ...

 The Gravity of Gravity: A Quick Look at Astronomy and Its Relevance
By Andrew Seeley on Jan 27, 2020 03:00 pm
When a fascinating chaos has been observed enough to reveal patterns that allow prediction, the human mind is ready to ask, “Why?” So it is with the cosmos. Tracing the answers to this question throughout history allows us to understand the development of cosmology and its effects on moral imagination. Like most of the ...

Natural Law and Our Constitutional Crisis
A republic, if we can keep it
Adam J. White | The Atlantic
Constitutional structure, like any structure, does not maintain itself. Each generation has to maintain its institutions and repair any damage that its predecessors inflicted or allowed. This task begins with civic education, so that Americans know how their government works and thus what to expect from their constitutional institutions.

With Bright Wings: George Weigel’s “The Irony of Modern Catholic History”
By Dwight Longenecker on Jan 25, 2020 10:00 pm
The Christian Church’s ongoing struggle with modernity is unavoidable. How does a two-thousand-year-old religion, with roots even further into antiquity, adapt to a world not only technologically astonishing, but philosophically post-Christian, totally materialistic, and indifferent towards God? George Weigel answers this question in “The Irony of Modern Catholic History.” The Irony of Modern Catholic ...

ATHEISM IN THE ANCIENT WORLD

1/13/2020

0 Comments

 
https://www.amazon.com/Battling-Gods-Atheism-Ancient-World/dp/B016WT2IVQ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Tim+Whitmarsh&qid=1578865281&s=audible&sr=1-1
Long before the European Enlightenment and the Darwinian revolution, which we often take to mark the birth of the modern revolt against religious explanations of the world, brave people doubted the power of the gods. Religion provoked scepticism in ancient Greece, and heretics argued that history must be understood as a result of human action rather than divine intervention. They devised theories of the cosmos based on matter, and notions of matter based on atoms. They developed mathematical tools that could be applied to the world around them and tried to understand that world in material terms. Their scepticism left a rich legacy of literature, philosophy, and science and was defended by such great writers as Epicurus, Lucretius, Cicero, and Lucian. 


Tim Whitmarsh tells the story of the tension between orthodoxy and heresy with great panache, a story that ended—for the moment—with the imposition of Christianity on the Roman Empire in 313 CE.

The Swan Song of Roger Scruton: “Wagner’s Parsifal: The Music of Redemption”
By Paul Krause on Jun 16, 2020 04:01 pm
In “Wagner’s Parsifal: The Music of Redemption,” Sir Roger Scruton guides us—like Virgil—through the twisty cosmos of Richard Wagner and leaves us at the gates of paradise. Those who desire a treatment of Wagner’s final opera without the pollution of ideological criticism will find a wonderful breath of fresh air in Scruton’s treatment of ...

Sir Roger Scruton, the prolific British philosopher and writer, died on January 12, 2020, after a six-month battle with cancer. A renowned intellectual whose interests and commentary covered political philosophy, aesthetics, and religion, Sir Roger was more than just a man who covered many topics with penetrating insight and erudition; he was, to me, a ...

Roger Scruton on America, the Nation-State, & the Responsibility of Intellectuals
By Tina McCormick on Feb 09, 2020 08:01 pm
It is hard to imagine how this country will recover from the hostility and political polarization that now define it without rediscovering a “pre-political loyalty," as Sir Roger Scruton called it, "towards something higher, something that is shared between all the citizens, regardless of their political beliefs and inclinations: the nation." With Roger Scruton’s passing ...

Edmund Burke on Rights: Inherited, Not Inherent
By Owen Edwards on Jun 16, 2020 03:58 pm
On what basis are political constitutions actually formed and remain valid? Where do rights come from? Edmund Burke offers us an account different from that of many of our contemporaries. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, ...
