We had a prof. back at Villanova In the early 1980's who used to call Parmenades "Father" Parmenades. He believed we owed Parmenades a great debt . Sanford's statement about him is quite appropriate... Ed Feser: In the preface to our in 1950's Ethics text at St. Jos. College in Philly by Fr. Higgins, was this prophecy: "Someday some young man is going to rediscover metaphysics." Maybe he is the one for whom Father H. was waiting...
The faith passes through a distiller and becomes ideology, And ideology does not beckon people. In ideologies there is not Jesus: in his tenderness, his love, his meekness. And ideologies are rigid, always. The faith becomes ideology and ideology frightens, ideology chases away the people, distances, distances the people and distances of the Church of the people, but it is a serious illness, this of ideological Christians. It is an illness, but it is not new, eh?
Feser is brilliant.
Oh to be an Aristotelian....what a potential
Dr Sanford is the best professor I've ever had.
