This episode examines the terms of Substance and Substratum as used in Aristotle's works. We also go over what it means to define something, and what to do with terms that cannot be defined. Substance is "that which cannot be predicated of something and nothing can be predicated of it." Substratum is what undergirds certain realities. I am just beginning my understanding of these concepts, and I d...

This episode reviews further the idea of Dualism (that man's soul is totally distinct from his body -- as a driver is from a car). We also examine the subject of Theistic Personalism (that God has parts, as persons do) and how I think these subjects are often related to one another.

This episode provides an overview of Aristotle's book "The Categories," and how it relates to the subjects of Realism, Platonism (The philosophy of Plato), Matter & Form, Substance, etc. We also examine what defines human nature, our bodies, and our souls according to Aristotle and how this idea of human nature contrasts to one of Dualism (where body and soul are separate entities). We also di...

Memoriali Domini (On the Manner o...

This episode examines issues regarding the Human Soul after Death. Does the person survive without their body, or is it just the soul that survives? This is a lively debate in Catholic philosophy and theology -- the debate between Suvivalism and Corruptionism. Survivalists: The human soul and human person survive death in the "interim" state between our bodily death and bodily resurrection at the...

This episode discusses this idea that "the Catholic Church after Vatican II is a new Church for a new type of modern man" (aka. A Hermeneutic of Rupture). A "Hermeneutic" is a branch of knowledge that deals with interpretation of texts, events, etc. We review the solution to this problem, as proposed by Pope Benedict XVI: which is a "Hermeneutic of Continuity." Is there a "New Church" after Vatica...
