Covid 19 and the War Against Reality

By Thaddeus Kozinski, Ph.D.

This book puts into spiritual, theological, philosophical, psychological, moral, historical, cultural, and political perspective the incredible evil we have witnessed and suffered over the past four years, amounting to the greatest crime against humanity ever committed. The plandemic was not only an all-out assault on every human being on the planet, but also an assault on reality itself. Though its most obvious effects were economic and political, at its core it was a spiritual and psychological-terror operation knowingly and deliberately orchestrated by a small global elite of unspeakably evil and psychopathic people. It was executed by a larger group of lower-tier cooperators ignorant of the master plan but vicious enough to use their power and influence to inflict untold harm on those in their charge. And it was enabled by the masses of idolatrous, fearful, alienated, rootless, selfish, and cowardly men, the rotten fruit of godless and decadent liberalism. How did this happen, where are we now, and how should we prepare spiritually for what is coming? Why did God allow such evil? How can we best dispose our souls to be in union with and conduits of God, Who alone can defeat this diabolical evil? This book tries to answer these questions.

From the Law of Nations to the Emergence of International Law by Jean-Paul Coujou

From the Law of Nations to the Emergence of International Law by Jean-Paul Coujou

From the Law of Nations to the Emergence of International Law

by Jean-Paul Coujou

In this book, Jean-Paul Coujou explores the historical evolution of international law from antiquity through modernity. He traces the development of the law of nations (ius gentium), beginning with Greek and Roman contributions, and examines its synthesis with natural law in Christian and Scholastic traditions. Coujou highlights the role of thinkers like Francisco de Vitoria, who transitioned the concept from individual relationships to the framework of international relations among states.

This work underscores the historical necessity of reconciling natural law’s universality with the practicalities of positive law, shaped by human consent and custom. The narrative also incorporates the emergence of foundational principles such as human rights, justice, and mutual assistance among nations, demonstrating how international law has been influenced by theological, legal, and philosophical ideas, particularly during the Second Scholastic period, with contributions from figures like Suárez and Aquinas.

In this manner, Coujou provides a broader understanding of humanity as a universal community governed by shared legal and moral principles. He ultimately argues that international law serves as a mechanism for civilization, fostering unity, justice, and the moral improvement of humanity through cooperative legal development.

 
Paperback $12.95 | Kindle $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“From the law of nations to international law provides a lucid historical analysis of the philosophical development of international law. Jean-Paul Coujou traces the origins of the law of nations (ius gentium) from its Greco-Roman roots, its subsequent Patristic and medieval developments, and finally into its more complete elaboration during the second scholastic period with thinkers such as Francisco de Vitoria, O.P (c.1483-1546) and Francisco Suárez, S.J. (1548-1617).  After a long process, the natural law and the law of nations came together to provide a foundation for international law, a law expressed so powerfully by the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations. This book shows why Jean-Paul Coujou is considered one of the world’s leading experts on the history and philosophy of law.” – Robert Fastiggi, Ph.D. Professor of Dogmatic Theology, sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit, Michigan

La Nostalgia de Una Nueva Cristiandad por Mario Ramos-Reyes

La Nostalgia de Una Nueva Cristiandad por Mario Ramos-Reyes

El estadista, o estratega del bien común, la persona de pensamiento y de robusta comunión apasionada con su pueblo, gran orador. Eso nos falta todavía. (Secundino Núñez)

La democracia que hemos defendido es una democracia con sentido social. Una democracia donde se valore y se proteja el trabajo, pieza fundamental de la civilización. (Rafael Caldera)

Veo en el mundo occidental no más de tres revolucionarios dignos de tal nombre: Eduardo Frei en Chile, Saúl Alinski en América y yo en Francia, aunque yo no cuento, porque mi vocación como filósofo ha anulado mis posibilidades como agitador. (Jacques Maritain)

La Nostalgia de Una Nueva Cristiandad

por Mario Ramos-Reyes

Mario Ramos-Reyes reconstruye el proceso de superación del conflicto entre el liberalismo y la tradición católica que ha marcado la historia política de América Latina. Esa cura fue obra del maritainismo, la propuesta inspirada en Jacques Maritain, el pensador católico más admirado y criticado en la primera mitad del siglo XX. Con la conferencia del movimiento socialcristiano en Montevideo en 1947 se inicia la era de la nueva cristiandad latinoamericana, proyecto democrático, liberal y cristiano que durará hasta que en 1968 el pensamiento católico gire, abruptamente, hacia la teología de la liberación. Recordar el modelo maritainista socialcristiano, ante la avalancha secularista liberal y populista posmoderna, no es un ejercicio fútil de nostalgia sino una necesidad urgente. La propuesta de Maritain podría iluminar nuevamente el camino hacia la construcción de una democracia republicana humanista y solidaria.

TESTIMONIALS

«Esta importante obra de Mario Ramos-Reyes traza la influencia de la filosofía social y política madura de Jacques Maritain en la América Latina de mediados del siglo XX. El fundamento filosófico católico de Maritain para una sociedad democrática pluralista atrajo a una generación de pensadores políticos y sociales latinoamericanos que buscaban construir un orden democrático en América Latina basado en la dignidad de la persona humana y en la doctrina social católica. Ramos-Reyes expresa la esperanza de que, tras el trágico eclipse de esta visión, atacada tanto desde la derecha como desde la izquierda, este tipo de democracia inspirada en una filosofía católica tomista pueda volver a ser políticamente fructífera en América Latina y en todo el mundo.» – Dr. Lawrence Feingold, Profesor de Teología y Filosofía, Seminario Kenrick-Glennon

«Aunque todo el mundo no estará de acuerdo con la política de este libro, los latinoamericanistas deberían encontrar el argumento universalmente fascinante e iluminador por sus implicaciones para la incrustación de la filosofía y la religión (y los filósofos y los sacerdotes) en la política latinoamericana.» – Elizabeth Kuznesof, profesora y directora del Centro de Estudios Latinoamericanos, Universidad de Kansas

«En medio de las vicisitudes históricas, Mario Ramos Reyes ha buscado lo esencial del espíritu de Maritain: una Democracia Constitucional y un Estado de Derecho basados en un ethos cristiano. Ellas dan todavía respuestas a este mundo sin hacer entre el postmodernismo y las ideologías woke y a esta América Latina que, desangrándose entre las utopías cristianas socialistas y sus reacciones conservadoras-militares, no ha encontrado aún su camino hacia la estabilidad institucional.» – Gabriel J. Zanotti, Profesor, de UCEMA, y director académico del Centro Friedman-Hayek, y del Instituto Acton, Buenos Aires, Argentina

«Ramos-Reyes es un trágico optimista. El eclipse de la Democracia Cristiana es indiscutible. Incluso su resurgimiento puede parecer poco más que un sueño nostálgico. Y, sin embargo, recurriendo a las Escrituras, se pregunta si estos ‘huesos muertos pueden resucitar’. Nos dice que si lo hacen, será a la llamada de una nueva generación de pensadores y activistas latinoamericanos». – James Hanink, ex presidente de la American Maritain Association

«En La nostalgia de una nueva cristiandad, Mario Ramos-Reyes ha escrito un sesudo análisis del pensamiento de Jacques Maritain y de su influencia en América Latina. Analiza hábilmente las ideas y los fracasos del movimiento demócrata-cristiano que Maritain inspiró y ofrece una impresionante defensa de la relevancia de la filosofía de Maritain sobre la dignidad humana para el siglo XXI». – Carl Strikwerda, ex presidente del Elizabethtown College y ex decano del College of William and Mary

«Recuerdo haber leído el libro de William Cavanaugh, Tortura y Eucaristía, y su llamamiento a un enfoque más radical, sobrenatural y eucarístico de la política, y su crítica a Maritain como defensor de la visión demócrata cristiana que, según Cavanaugh, había marginado y castrado a la Iglesia. Entonces, la teología de la liberación ocupó gran parte del debate. Frente a eso estaba un conservadurismo tradicional que abogaba por un país católico que no dejaba mucho espacio al liberalismo en el mejor sentido. Luego, por supuesto, la fuerte secularización trae consigo la legalización del aborto y el rechazo de la familia. Sí, ¿dónde te has metido, Jacques Maritain? Bueno, al menos hay una respuesta a esto: los escritos de Mario Ramos Reyes». – Daniel Philpott, Universidad de Notre Dame

Without God Nothing Makes Sense

by Dr. Donald DeMarco

Donald DeMarco’s Without God Nothing Makes Sense argues that removing God from public discourse leads to societal confusion and moral decay. DeMarco critiques ideologies like radical feminism, atheism, and the pro-abortion lobby, identifying their rejection of divine truths as sources of division and intellectual blindness. He emphasizes the importance of virtues such as lightheartedness, kindheartedness, and warmheartedness, which align with faith in God and serve as antidotes to societal fragmentation.

DeMarco explores themes across language, morality, education, philosophy, politics, and religion, linking them to the broader implications of a society detached from its spiritual roots. By grounding his discussion in figures like Aquinas, Chesterton, and Augustine, he defends the integration of faith and reason. He critiques secularism’s reduction of language, the exaltation of choice, and the rejection of human dignity, arguing these trends undermine the inherent value of life and truth.

The book advocates for a return to spiritual and moral clarity by aligning human laws with divine wisdom, highlighting the irreplaceable role of religion in sustaining justice and charity. DeMarco asserts that ignoring God’s voice in creation, scripture, and Christ leads to personal and societal disarray. Ultimately, he calls for humility, faith, and the embrace of divine truths to restore meaning and harmony in life.

A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding St. Thomas Aquinas’s Teaching about the Actual Composition of Essence and Esse in Created Beings by Peter Anthony Achilles Redpath

A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding St. Thomas Aquinas’s Teaching about the Actual Composition of Essence and Esse in Created Beings

by Dr. Peter Anthony Achilles Redpath

This book explores St. Thomas Aquinas’s metaphysical principles, focusing on the relationship between essence (what a being is) and esse (the act of being) in finite creatures. Redpath highlights Étienne Gilson’s 20th-century revival of Aquinas’s teachings, emphasizing how these principles were misunderstood historically and remain challenging even among Thomists. Redpath critiques such misinterpretations, exploring the intricate composition of essence and existence that defines created beings.

The guide discusses the philosophical and theological implications of Aquinas’s doctrine, particularly its significance in understanding God’s nature as pure being and how this contrasts with the contingent nature of created entities. Redpath contextualizes Aquinas’s insights within the history of medieval philosophy, discussing the influence of thinkers like Aristotle, Avicenna, and Boethius on Aquinas’s synthesis of metaphysics and Christian theology.

Redpath emphasizes the centrality of “born-again Thomism,” a modern approach aiming to revive and clarify Aquinas’s teachings. By examining Aquinas’s metaphysical framework through arguments on the distinction between essence and esse, the guide seeks to bridge historical gaps in understanding and reaffirm the relevance of Thomistic thought for contemporary philosophical inquiry.

Essays on the Life and Work of Étienne Gilson: Christian Humanist and Global Peacemaker by Peter Redpath

Essays on the Life and Work of Étienne Gilson: Christian Humanist and Global Peacemaker by Peter Redpath

Essays on the Life and Work of Étienne Gilson: Christian Humanist and Global Peacemaker

by Dr. Peter Anthony Achilles Redpath

The book of essays offers a comprehensive exploration of the intellectual life of Étienne Gilson, generally considered to be the leading historian of Western philosophy. Gilson’s founding the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies (PIMS) revolutionized the study of medieval philosophy in universities worldwide and the history of Western philosophy leading up to it.

Gilson, born in 1884 in Paris, received his early education in philosophy at the Lycée Henri IV and the Sorbonne. His philosophical career took him through various teaching roles and scholarly work, with notable contributions in the study of medieval philosophy, particularly the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas. His works, such as Le Thomisme and The Spirit of Medieval Philosophy, are foundational in the integration of Christian philosophy with modern thought. Gilson’s intellectual evolution shifted from a focus on Descartes to a deep engagement with medieval thinkers like St. Thomas and St. Bonaventure, shaping his views on metaphysics and the relationship between faith and reason.

Gilson’s involvement in World War I, where he served as a soldier and a prisoner of war, influenced his philosophical inquiries, especially his reflections on humanism, freedom, and truth. Throughout his life, he engaged in intellectual debates on Christian philosophy, particularly defending the notion of “Christian philosophy” as an authentic intellectual tradition. After World War II, Gilson became involved in international educational and political efforts, contributing to UNESCO and advocating for a Catholic order in education. His later years were marked by an increased focus on existential themes, particularly through his writings on St. Augustine and Duns Scotus.

The book explores both his philosophical contributions and his role as a global intellectual peacemaker, emphasizing his belief in the integration of Christian philosophy within modern intellectual life​.
