I have no idea why. I also get individual emails from the forum, so they all come back to me, and I only get a single copy. Richard Joseph Komonchak...
Dear Richard, It took very little time to research you quotation. I think in the context it is an inordinate desire to excel. It might be inordinate to ingest...
Richard, I don't think that is correctly stated. A light can guide along a forest path, but the feet that follow the path are not the handmaidens of the light,...
Dear JF, I am rather more inclined to think that to want to win, to be recognized as better (not merely to be better) than someone else, is already an...

I don't think that is correctly stated, the pathfinder is not subordinated to the light. How can a person learn if he cannot begin with faith in the teacher,...
Not necessarily except indirectly, things can be attained to glorify God directly and in this case the desire to excel would be ordinate not inordinate. JF In...

Hi Jim, I really enjoyed your message as far as I could go with it, having no background in phenomenology. And what a pleasure to encounter a person who finds...
RPD: In answer to the question above: How one may view Aquinas in the light of modern continental thought? My answer is that Aquinas has three trumps: a...
... Regarding the third of your three points, Aquinas may have a clearer writing style than phenomenologists, but I can't think of anyone who doesn't. If clear...
How can it be that in spite of G-d’s unconditional love, He casts the sinner from his Presence? One answer is that He does it for love of the sinner, in...
Anthony, In regard to your statement: "How is the thesis of the Husserlian pure consciousness standpoint suspended? I don't see how you can do that and remain...
... Where does Husserl ever describe the already reduced consciousness as "thing-like"? The "thing-like" nature of entities (including myself) is precisely...
Anthony, I am not opposing thing-like to mental or to immaterial but simply and exactly to relation-like. Husserl never made such a distinction since he...
... Where exactly does "real" come back into the picture? Husserl performs the epoche and reduces out "reality" from the entire analysis altogether. Upon what...
Jim et al I know not a lot of philosophy but I don't think it is wise to experiment with your mind. Descartes was very painstaking in his preparations for his ...
Jude, you wrote: “I remember reading Garrigou-Lagrange insisting that potential being is not being, nor is it non-being, but is a unique reality (my own way...
Hello Jude, What you are saying is that everywhere is everyplace in space, and place implies a composite of form and matter, since the matter would only be...
