Motivational poster for philosophers!
I love the motivational poster-- I think it may be just enough to help get me through this philosophy paper I'm writing right now. I'm 7-pages in, only a few more to go. Heidegger, authenticity, Thomas, and free-will. I'm certainly at the "thinking till it hurts" point.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder about physorg.com - they'd fallen off my radar a while back, and it's a good resource!

ReplyDeleteAs far as Catholic basking is concerned, rarely do you encoun ter anti-Cathlicism as sharply as you do in priests and Sisters who are at odds with the Church. Imagine reading without knowing who has authored some of the columns written by Sister Joan Chittister or Sister Sandra Schneiders or any number of others. One could quickly get the impression that in such pieces, the Church is being bashed by anti-Catholics. So then, the sky becomes the limit. This is another reason that CDF's LCWR investigation and the Sisters' Visitation are so crucial. I'm sure that anti-Catholicism will be dealt severe blows by both of these Vatican initiatives.

45. How do I set a laser printer to stun?
Catholic-bashing has a long history. We can start with Nero Caesar, Domitian Caesar, Arius, gnostics, docetists, and move on toward the Middle Ages with feudal lords from king to knight who fought the Church on the Continent. You'll know more about the Albigensians and Waldensians than I; thence to Luther and Tyndale. All resented the Church's institutional and dogmatic strength. In particular, Luther was a foil for lords who resented the Church's institutional power. Voltaire and Robespierre also resented the same strength. I'll stop with the Modern age.
