ShareSometimes I am asked what I am going to “do” with a Masters Degree in Philosophy. My usual reply is “nothing”. Classical political philosophy, in addition to Aristotle’s discussion of wit and humor in Book Four of his Ethics, could be amusing. Take the question of whether philosophy itself is “useless”. Of course, there are [...] ShareFr. Halvorsen has kindly provided us with a clarification to the previous information on the Catholic Distance Learning Network. Dear Students, Alumni, Faculty and Staff, There has been some recent email correspondence regarding courses that are available to MA students at Holy Apostles through the Catholic Distance Learning Network (CDLN).

Act and potency start within what Aristotle called physics, the study of changable or mobile being. Aristotle’s physics was continuously studied for almost 2000 years, first by the Greeks, [...] ShareI came across a striking passage tonight while I was leafing through The Elements of Philosophy, one of the texts for my class in Natural Philosophy. Pilate famously said to Christ, “What is Truth?”, and when I read this all I could think was, “well that’s settled!” More seriously, this is a nice summary of [...] ShareDavid Harrison and Sebastian Mahfood recently attended commencement at Holy Apostles on May 1, 2009. David was kind enough to forward his pictures from the trip, and I have posted them in a gallery here on our website. Congratulations David and Sebastian! More pictures of the ceremony are available here. |
