To help figure it out, I turned to Sitting in Oblivion by the Daoism...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 2K Views 0 previzualizare

Catholicism before EuropeCatholicism before Europe Much has been made, in the US at least, of the fact that the new pope – Robert Prevost, now Leo XIV –comes from the USA. The papacy is one of the few institutions in the world where Americans have been under-represented. In recent decades, the reason for that was the US’s disproportionate global influence – a pope from outside the US was seen as a...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 2K Views 0 previzualizare

Checks and balances are only as good as their enforcersChecks and balances are only as good as their enforcers When the head of state or government goes rogue, what happens next? Consider the recent experiences of three countries where the top leader pursued an agenda far more radical than they had campaigned on, in a way that caused widespread panic. In South Korea, Yoon-Suk Yeol attempted to impose martial law, marking an attempted return to...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 2K Views 0 previzualizare

In memoriam: Alasdair MacIntyreIn memoriam: Alasdair MacIntyre My photo of an elderly MacIntyre speaking in 2019 at “To What End?” Alasdair MacIntyre is dead. He had a very good run, better than many could dream of: he was 95 years old, and produced an output significant enough to be in competition for the title of “greatest philosopher of his age”. Few indeed are the 20th- or 21st-century philosophers who have an...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 2K Views 0 previzualizare
