Beethoven, the Multi-Faceted Revolutionary
Further Reflections on Beethoven’s Best Work
By Michael Kurek on Feb 06, 2020 03:00 pm
The question becomes, by what criteria do we determine what is objectively the “best” in the arts? I think that "communication" is a crucially important criterion, and I propose that a transcendent reflection of God, who is the divine source of objective truth, expressed in human creativity is indeed objectively, theologically "better" than mathematical integrity ...

Kant’s Imperative
By Eva Brann on Dec 29, 2019 10:00 pm
What makes freedom possible is beyond all knowing, but what makes the moral law possible is freedom itself. The fact that we have a faculty of freedom is the critical ground of the possibility of morality. I have called this lecture “Kant’s Imperative” so that I might begin by pointing up an ever-intriguing circumstance. ...

“Poison Under Its Wings”: The Constitution and Its Defects
By John Devanny on Jan 01, 2020 10:00 pm
The plan for government that came from the Philadelphia convention was what Patrick Henry referred to as a beautiful butterfly with “poison under its wings.” The parchment barriers erected against monarchy and consolidation, he held, would only be as effective as the force backing them. The beginning of the American political order goes much ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of God
Donald DeMarco
Etienne Gilson was one of the clearest thinking philosophers of the 20th century. As a good philosopher, naturally, he fully understood the importance of reason, a power that is often downgraded or even dismissed in the modern world. In an address he gave at Harvard’s Tercentenary Celebration (1936), he made the following statement: “Realism always […]

Leisure the Basis of Labor
By David Deavel on Dec 25, 2019 10:00 pm
Michael Naughton’s new book, “Getting Work Right,” is a wonderful invitation to share a vision of work that goes beyond resume obsession or Thank-God-It’s-Friday attitudes. It’s an invitation to Thank God It’s Sunday and keep thanking all week long. Getting Work Right: Labor and Leisure in a Fragmented World, by Michael J. Naughton (200 ...

Primal Screams: How the Sexual Revolution Created Identity Politics
By Dwight Longenecker on Dec 07, 2019 09:59 pm
Puzzled by the sudden surge of identity politics, Mary Eberstadt traces its genesis to the sexual revolution. By doing so, she addresses the “primal screams” of faceless, lonely people grabbing at an identity like a shipwrecked person clutching at flotsam.

Hobbes’ “Leviathan”: A Collectivist Horror
By Bradley J. Birzer on Dec 12, 2019 10:00 pm
With the loss of traditional religion as the guiding force of the Western world, following the collapse of the Medieval around 1350, politics quickly became not just a substitute, but a religion in and of itself, a proto-ideology serving as a glue for the emerging nation-states of Europe. Certainties that the Medievals had taken ...

Prometheus Unbound: Mary Shelley’s Admonishment About Scientism
By Drew Maglio on Dec 12, 2019 10:00 pm
In the Promethean Allegory, Prometheus is both hero and villain. In one ilk, he molded humanity out of clay to aid the titans in their struggle against the gods. But Prometheus’ revolution against the divine order cost him dearly. In a similar vein, is science more and more the quest to advance human knowledge, ...

​A Reflection on the Resurrection of the Superfluous Man
By Miles Smith on Dec 06, 2019 09:59 pm
Russia’s nineteenth-century literary luminaries all found themselves wrestling with a particularly Romantic archetype: the Superfluous Man. Bored, confused, dissolute, yet noble and aristocratic, the Superfluous Man experiences tragedy in his reckless pursuit of passion. And I can’t help but wonder whether there is any hope for these characters—both the Russians in the novels, and ...

Who helps former ultra-Orthodox integrate into Israeli way of life?
 Israelis who leave the ultra-Orthodox way of life find themselves without basic education, psychological support or career prospects.
Instead of forced enlistment, Israeli leadership must dialogue with ultra-Orthodox
 Instead of demanding that the ultra-Orthodox enlist in the army — like the secular parties insisted during election campaigns — Israel’s political leadership must open a dialogue with the ultra-Orthodox leadership about academic studies and the labor market.
Learning to Love Again: Dante’s Descent in the “Inferno”
By Paul Krause on Dec 04, 2019 10:00 pm
That there is much depth to Dante’s “Inferno” is an understatement, and the poet’s descent into the abyss is perplexing at first glance. However, by invoking the muses of poetry and in being guided by Virgil, Dante tips his hand and reveals to the astute reader that the journey into—and through—hell will require the flowering ...

The Romantic Theology of Charles Williams
By Bradley J. Birzer on Dec 04, 2019 10:00 pm
Just as we consume the Eucharist at Mass, recognizing the holiness of the act, so some marriages become profound examples and witnesses of holiness. By habit and faith, Charles Williams contended, the serious Christian begins to see all meals as a shadow of the Eucharist and all love as a shadow of Holy Matrimony. ...
