That white haired guy takes for ever to ask a damn question

Surely von Hildebrand’s personalism would suggest that much or even all of modern psychology’s conclusions must necessarily be erroneous due to their atheist and secular roots.

It’s interesting how difficult it is to find these essays and certain books, especially anything he’s written against modernity, scientism and modern psychology. 🤔

What is the title of Scheler's book/article on Shame?

What book would be the best introduction to the ideas D.C. Schindler is talking about here? They are all so expensive... thanks :)

man this guy is one of the coolest people ive ever seen. im just letting you all know im basing the foundation of my life off of this interview.

Enjoyed it

I really like how he rarely uses contractions. Hallmarks of austerity and self respect, traits so uncommon now I am sure no one thinks about it at all.

heard hes a good math teacher from a friend(royals,)

But have you ever had a pet ? If not how would you know ?

thanks for sharing this video

Miss you sir, but if you were here, they would cancel you.

This lecture from 2017 is brilliant on what to do to create the world we want. Frances Hannon Nov 2023

Lecture starts at 9:50

I like where this discussion reaches the ethical because it does seem like an ethical guage goes off on value-response.

I enjoyed this talk when I heard it last week. Got me to thinking… when did the title of employee relations inside the company change from Personnel to Human Resources? Just the difference in those names imply the contrast of treating employees as persons as opposed to commodities

Even the most beautiful thing requires a foil. And therefore even the most beautiful thing requires a certain amount of ugliness. A novel or a play without a bad character in it would be incomplete as an exploration of the moral universe. Shakespeare's sonnets have their Dark Lady as well as Fair Youth. Every sonnet has its volta. Slight irregularities are the lifeblood of the rhythm both of music and of verse. Every novel must have it's longueurs. Poetry its prosaic passages. Opera its recitatives. The church year has its ordinary days as well as its festivals, and its fast days as well as its feast days. Contrast of opposites, balance and variety is the very lifeblood of beauty. Even to the point of their complete superposition. As in the counterpoint of Bach, the balanced antithesis of Pope, the oxymoron of Shakespeare, and the complementary colour schemes of Matisse.

15:15 I am not sure if "unconditional" love is really so moral. Certainly I doubt that this is what Aristotle saw as the highest form of friendship, since he characterized that form of friendship as friendship based on virtue. Also Kant thought that an objective and unpartial observer can never be willing the well-being of a thoroughly bad person lacking all good intentions. (Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten, AA 393) Not even God wants to have those in his presence who reject him in mortal sin without repentance and the seeking of absolution. How can I want that my neighbor enjoys his life if he should not enjoy his life but rather change it entirely and enjoy it only after his conversion and entire metanoia? How can the saints in heaven will the salvation of those whom God has condemned to hell? The saints can only will the will of God, as they pray "FIAT voluntas tua"! Spaemann seems to be on the wrong track here, I think. at 39:41 he seems to contradict himself on the matter that true love is unconditional, as he says that personal love cannot be ignorant of reciprocity. I cannot say "I love and I don't care if you love me". In loving someone in particular, i have to care about his or her live for me as well. That of course does not mean that their love is a condition for my love (for how could then their ever be love, if the coming to be of love already requires the existence of love?). I will always at least be wanting the love of my beloved. Love would become unreasonable if I have good reasons to believe that my beloved will never love me or that my beloved should never love me (e.g. because she is already married to someone else etc.). So "unconditional" live can at least be irrational, and the virtue ethicist might hold that it is immoral to persist in the irrational, as all our doings leave traces on our souls.

For Spaemann, philosophy is a systematical engagement with "last questions" (letzte Fragen) which also has to encompass a conversation with the history and tradition of philosophy. No matter which topic he approaches, he always delights his readers (or listeners) with the most beautiful insights of former philosophers. I don't know many philosophers (well) read on anglophone philosoohers like Quine, Singer, the ancients, the "continental" tradition, and catholic philosophy. Who reads Fenelon and Kripke? He knows about the treasures of the history of philosophy, but also about the dangers hidden within this treasure box.

Both Seiffert and Spaemann did things that philosophy and in particular German philosophy needed. In my eyes, Spaemann as philosopher did not yet get the attention he deserved. I am glad to see that his theological works, especially on liturgy, get more and more attention. I am confident that the appreciation for his arguments and suggestions will grow further.

Perennial philosophy is a term of Aquinas? And is memory necessary for consciousness to be immortal or to be "conserved"?

Good lecture, but I think he hasn't fully understood the parable of the prodigal son.

On the eve of Assumption of Mary Mark 11/23 Let no mountain of moral obstacle hinder Your Son Total Triumph over fallen world is my prayer Thank you Dietrich von Hildebrand for all your lifelong efforts and dedication which you also contributed to this glorious end

..nice flag..

It is wonderful to discover this talk two weeks after the 5th Hildebrand Summer Residency, at which I was present . Listening to Rocco after meeting with him and also presenting a paper on Wojtyla's Thomistic Personalism makes me wish I had seen this video earlier. Thank you dear Organisers of the Hildebrand Project for these talks.

Questions should be written down and then asked after the presentation has finished. The constant interruptions made this impossible to follow.

When he was betrayed by the Tories was the moment I knew the so called Conservative party was well and truly dead

I would loved to have asked RS if he would chose a highly functional ugly building - or - a beautiful one not up to the job?

Condems,and rightly so the Ugleyness of the world and then goes fox hunting .

Great video - our hearts need change and to conform to a heart like Christ. Wonderful insights on the heart and the will in response to affectivity

I can't understand brutalist architechture. Doesn't even work well functionally, et alone aesthetically.

How Beautiful 7/35 You may kiss the bride Doctor Mark Roberts grandparents around 1920 followed sadly by two contrary examples 27/30 Are there any chaste women in this town? asks Minister Francis Cook on his way to Hawaii

Mr. Metaxas seems to jave a much wider and broader perspective on the matter than I believe that the other three do ......A people or society that can't take the warning signs of tragic results from the past may be subject to repeat the same with probable worse results

I'm sure, that it was not intend but the juxtapositon of the Dean, Mr McCarthy and Sir Roger Scrutton is the best illustration of the talk. The first is a living, ugly image of a pompous, souless man and the latter, on the other hand, a beatifull image of what soulful man is like. I only wonder how the dinner went, if there was any, with those two at the same table...Or, perhaps, Sir Scrutton brought his own sandwich and ate it on the lawn. No money could compensate for the torture of the overblown Dean's ego's company.

Why do you not mention Von Hildebrand and CHIESA VIVA?

2/25 IT is not IVY LEAGUE schools who produce a Von Hildebrand but CHRIST and what is omitted is that Hildebrand converted to PRE VATICAN II ANTI WOKE/LIBERAL/MODERNIST CHURCH and were he alive today he would be not only against WOKE/ANTI TRADITIONAL Bergoglio/AKA POPE FRANCIS and his number one enemy but against all Woke USA UNDER BIDEN too and would be writing MY BATTLE AGAINST TOTALITARIAN USA UNDER BIDEN AND TOTALITARIAN ROME UNDER VATICAN II

Just watched my first documentary ONLY A GOD CAN SAVE US about ex catholic Martin Heinegger/1889 to 1976 who was studying for priesthood in Austria before his religious crisis Being interested in Russian ANTI WEST LIBERALISM / IMMORALITY OF ALEXANDER DUGIN introduced me to Heinegger who on mayday 1933 joined occult NAZI PARTY and became Nazi Rector of FREIBURG UNIVERSITY A comparison between him and Von Hildebrand the one who left Catholic Church in 1911 in order to devote his life to philosophy and the other who as former subjective protestant joined and converted to Catholic Church would be interesting

Watching this in 2023 with all of the hatred toward those standing for God's truth, as if we are the haters, is astonishing. If I'd watched this when it 1st aired, I wouldn't have believed things could become the way they are in just a few short years. God bless all who see what's happening & recognize that history is repeating itself again, stand against it, & pray for those who don't.

Wonderful program!!😍

The reason Catholic education is so important in America today is found in Fr. Morerod"s paper. Theology as the "queen" of sciences, and studying people like vonHildebrand is quite relevant.

I watch continually messages so helpful

Beautiful Sir

Excellent.
