Kalb?:Apprehension versus Intuition – It is sometimes said that we have an intuition of being (Maritain) or an innate intuition of the idea of being (Rosmini)...Using angels and material being as test cases, it will use the thomistic metaphysics of participation to elucidate and confirm the "uncreated energy" of God as posited by the Greek Fathers and Orthodox theologians, taking Gregory Palamas as the foremost proponent of this doctrine

Jeffrey C. Kalb, Jr. Thomism, Mathematics and Science   By detailing some of my interests and writings, I hope to hear from those whose interests bear some resemblance to my own. I wish to thank Dr. Arraj for his kindness in giving individuals such as myself a forum for our ideas. My Road to Thomism I was born July 7, 1966. I studied materials science and electrical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. I graduated with a B.S. in materials science in 1988 and then received a M.S. in materials science and a M.S. in electrical engineering in 1989 while studying under a graduate fellowship from the National Science Foundation. Somewhat disappointed with the state of modern physics, increasingly hostile to its foundations, and lacking the patience of a good experimentalist, I elected to terminate my fellowship and take employment as an engineer in the semiconductor industry. In 2001 I enrolled at the University of Arizona, where I am pursuing an M.A. in classics ...

R. J. Shaw: "There’s No Such Thing As The Far-Right :or Truth Vs. Nothingness"...idea of the spectrum of right & left...liberal idea that truth is cut out...It has no connection to this scale of right & left...concentric circles around the truth, that's where the medievals lie...modernist idea is that not only is man the center [not God]...communism & fascism almost right next to each other on this scale...using subjective norms in order to evaluate...because man is the center..There is an objective end. There is a point of truth"

  https://youtu.be/K3oQn3Y6Blk?is=t7NnaBTOjbIvFfbX   Hey, how you doing? This is R.J. So, today I'm going to discuss why there is no such thing as the far right. Now, 0:09 9 seconds normally when I discuss things, I try to reference people that are much more intelligent than I am, who have spent 0:16 16 seconds their entire lives, usually delving into questions of truth and falsity. And I will do some of that today, but I'm 0:23 23 seconds going to have to overlay some of my own analysis onto the entire thing because the point is we live in a period of time 0:32 32 seconds where those kinds of men no longer exist. And I'm going to be examining ideas of today and the modern ideas. So, 0:41 41 seconds I'm going to have to play a little bit fast and loose. That is to say, to give you my own two cents on a few things. 0:46 46 seconds And if you don't like it, I don't really give a flying fig. I'll try to be as logical as I possibly can and if you disagree with m...
