A Step too Far

H. L. Day
Josh HochschildJosh Hochschild

I’m hopeful: this will be a step too far for many people. It will make unignorable the different conceptions of human nature, virtue, and community that occupy modernity, which separate people existentially in deeply profound—but on a day to day basis in mostly hidden—ways. https://t.co/X4G0wjxslN

Natural Law: Reflections on Theory & Practice

Jacques Maritain
Josh HochschildJosh Hochschild

@hannonregular @josias_rex @FrTveit I agree this is a good short explainer, but I'm not sure what is distinctively "integralist" about it--as opposed to just calling it Catholic, Thomist, Aristotelian, natural law, etc. Does "integralist" cover Yves Simon, Jacques Maritain, Charles DeKoninck, Heinrich Rommen, etc?

The Republic

Plato
Josh HochschildJosh Hochschild

“In sources as old as Genesis and Plato’s Republic, human community emerges from the soil. Modernity’s alienation from the land, and the distinctively American experience of nativity and destiny, give this story a challenging inflection.” https://t.co/L33vTABe3h
