Here are some resources for anyone wanting some Catholic perspective on philosophical issues.

http://iteadthomam.blogspot.com/ blog, very good for Thomistic resources (incl. works out of print, or very hard to come by), includes some Scholastic disputations.

http://radicalacademy.com/prcminicourseindex.htm mini-courses on the various disciplines within philosophy, i.e.: metaphysics, logic, epistemology, cosmology etc.

http://radicalacademy.com/philaquinasmdw0.htm "The Philosophical System of Thomas Aquinas"

http://www.lifeissues.net/writers/mcm/ph/ph_01philosophyyouth1.html "An Introduction to Philosophy for Young People" (or anyone, for that matter)


 http://www.aquinasonline.com/ Another good overview of key doctrines of Saint Thomas

http://maritain.nd.edu/jmc/aristotl.htm here's a collection of various works, mostly from late 19th to early 20th century. Mostly deals with things from a Thomistic basis.

...Let's add to this list shall we?

From Notre Shame, surprisingly. Just ignore the works of the modernist Maritain and scroll down to 'The Thomistic Revival' where there are links to many pre-Conciliar Thomistic works, including Desire, Cardinal Mercier's 'Elements of Logic'.

There is no such thing as "Catholic" philosophy.  Philosophy deals with truths we can attain through reason.  Therefore, philosophy is not any more Catholic than biology or physics.

Yes, but insofar as we can engage in philosophy, we can have a Catholic approach, or not. And since Catholic approach that can be taken means we can use the term ''Catholic philosophy''. Of course this means philosophy is never ''stand alone'' but we must always have recourse to the Catholic Faith through theology, to which philosophy is subordinate and helps serve.

Christianity definitely supports the idea of a private, independent metaphysical substance of the self. Where technologies supply no cultural basis for this individual, then Christianity is in for trouble. When you have a new tribal culture confronting an individualist religion, there is trouble.

In a certain way, I also think that this could be the time of the Antichrist. When electricity allows for the simultaneity of all information for every human being, it is Lucifer's moment. He is the greatest electrical engineer. Technically speaking, the age in which we live is certainly favourable to an Antichrist. Just think: each person can instantly be tuned to a 'new Christ' and mistake him for the real Christ.

At such times it becomes crucial to hear properly and to tune yourself to the right frequency.

"Oh Blessed Mother Mary, I am weak and you are most loving towards me, a small child of the Church.
 Please throw your cloak around me and grasp my hand when evil ones approach.
They prowl about, turning our flesh into their meat and our souls into their prey.
They rip our infants from the womb and our old ones from our arms.
Oh Blessed Mother Mary, I pray this Rosary for the special protection of my home and parish from the deceitful attacks of the Serpent whose head you have already crushed."
