2011-12-Complete-Fall-Winter-Catalog NEW TITLE To Protect and Maintain Individual Rights A Citizen’s Guide to the Washington Constitution, Article I Jonathan Bechtle and Michael J. Reitz With a foreword by Justice Charles Johnson November 2011 Freedom Foundation $16.95 G paper G 130 pp G 6 x 9 G isbn 9780983544005 legal studies/political science In To Protect and Maintain Individual Rights, Bechtle and Reitz provide a section-by-section analysis of the Washington Constitution’s Declaration of Rights. The authors review the state’s 1889 constitutional debates, contem- porary accounts of the convention, and significant legal cases. Bechtle and Reitz urge citizens to become familiar with their state constitutions, as in- dividual rights are often afforded greater protection from state constitutions than from the U.S. Constitution: “When citizens are educated in the sourc- es of their freedoms, and familiar with attempts in history to limit these freedoms, they are better equipped to recognize new encroachments.” Jonathan Bechtle is CEO of the Freedom Foundation. He has testified before Congress as an expert on election law, and his research has been published and cited by the Washington Times, the Seattle Times, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, World Magazine, and numerous other media outlets. He earned his J.D. from Oak Brook College of Law, and is a member of the California and Washington bars. Michael J. Reitz is general counsel of the Freedom Foundation, and has rep- resented the Foundation and other clients in cases addressing election law, free speech rights, government accountability, and property rights. He is a member of the Washington and California bars and is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. www.amppubgroup.com 1 NEW TITLE The State of Our Unions 2011 Navigating the Path to Parenthood Edited by W.

  • News and Notices SCIENCE-SPIRIRTUALITY
    News and Notices SCIENCE‐SPIRIRTUALITY Templeton Prize The winner of the 2001 Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion is The Revd Canon Dr Arthur Peacocke of Oxford University. As a physical biochemist specialising in biological macromolecules, Dr Peacocke pioneered early research into the structure of DNA, showing that the chains in the molecule are not branched but form a double helix. In 1971, the one‐ time agnostic became an Anglican priest. The only Oxford University Theology faculty member to hold both a Doctor of Science and a Doctor of Divinity degree, Dr Peacocke is a strong proponent of "critical realism," holding that both science and theology aim to depict reality and must be subject to scrutiny, while recognising their creative interaction. Created by global investor and philanthropist Sir John Templeton in 1972, each year the Templeton Prize acknowledges a living person who has shown extraordinary originality in advancing humanity's understanding of God and the role of spirituality in people's lives. Sir John has sought to honour progress in religion just as the Nobel Prizes recognise advances in economics, medicine, and chemistry. Currently valued at £700,000 sterling, the Prize represents the world's largest annual monetary award given to an individual and is always set at a level that exceeds that of the Nobels. Dr Peacocke joins an illustrious group of professional scientists who have won the Templeton Prize: last year's winner, Freeman Dyson, a physicist whose futuristic views have consistently called for the reconciliation of technology and social justice; physicist and theologian Ian Barbour in 1999; astrophysicist Paul Davies in 1995; physicist Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker in 1989; and Benedictine monk and professor of astrophysics Stanley Jaki in 1987.

  • Kohlhammer, 1965. Pp. Xvi + 393
    BOOK REVIEWS DIE RELIGIONEN IRANS. By Geo Widengren. Die Religionen der Mensch­ heit 14. Stuttgart: Kohlhammer, 1965. Pp. xvi + 393. DM 39 — This is an important book, yet at the same time an understandably con­ troversial one for two reasons: the strong personal views of the author and the difficulty of reaching universally acceptable conclusions because of problems of interpretation inherent in the available sources, especially for the earlier period. At the outset, the reviewer would suggest that this book be read side by side with the equally important work of J. Duchesne-Guille- min, La religion de l'Iran ancien (Paris, 1962), which appeared while Widen- gren's book was still in press. The two scholars cite earlier studies of each other and often indicate disagreement of interpretation on many points. This kind of disagreement is really salutary for the reader; for he is thus re­ peatedly warned that there are numerous serious problems in the investiga­ tion of Persian religion and that, for the present at least, no convincing solution is possible. W.'s book is at once systematic and comprehensive, and it reveals throughout a first-hand knowledge of the original sources He deliberately employs the plural Religionen in his title, because he covers not only pre- Zoroastrianism, Zoroastrianism, and later modifications of what may be regarded as Persian religion proper in the Parthian and Sassanid periods, but he deals also with Mandaeism, Manichaeism, and the cults of the Sagdians, Sacae, and other East Iranian peoples. He closes his exposition with a treat­ ment of Persian religion and its influence after the Islamic conquest.

    n. 67 dicembre 2017 STANLEY JAKI E L’EDUCAZIONE SCIENTIFICA di Beniamino Danese* * Laureato in Fisica, è tra i fondatori del sito www.reinventore.it L’opera del grande storico della scienza Stanley Jaki offre preziose indica- zioni per chi è impegnato oggi nell’educazione scientifica. Una rilettura dei suoi testi principali e di alcuni contributi specifici consente di evidenziare cinque punti cruciali: la prospettiva storica, l’insegnamento per esempi, il valore delle parole, il realismo degli oggetti, le radici cristiane della scienza. Alcuni anni fa, quando gli scrissi di essere un fisico che lavorava nella science education, Padre Jaki mi diede un consiglio rias- sunto in una sola riga: «La scienza non è filosofia e la filosofia non è scienza» [1]. È una riga paradossale, che non ha mancato di causare discus- sioni senza fine ogni volta che l’ho difesa con amici e colleghi. Come minimo, non ha mai mancato di «svegliare la mente», che è lo scopo dei paradossi [2]. Padre Jaki infatti aveva una predilezione per questo tipo di frasi brevi e incisive. Così, per esempio, su scienza e religione: «Non osi unire l’uomo, ciò che Dio ha separato». Ma torniamo a scienza e filosofia. Padre Jaki ne ha discusso a più riprese. Ci interessa in questa breve introduzione approfondi- re questa sua frase che costituisce in una certa misura la sintesi del nostro intervento. «Diversamente dalla verità scientifica, sem- pre nitida perché ristretta, la verità filosofica è sempre ampia perché comprensiva, e non importa quanto particolare, e anche Padre Stanley L. Jaki (1924-2009) quanto banale, ciò possa apparire.

  • Stanley L. Jaki, O.S.B. Gy#R, Hungary, 17 Aug
    Stanley L. Jaki, O.S.B. Gy#r, Hungary, 17 Aug. 1924 - Madrid, Spain, 7 Apr. 2009 Nomination 5 Sept. 1990 Field Philosophy and History of Science Title Distinguished Professor of Physics at Seton Hall University, South Orange, USA, and Priest of the Benedictine Order Commemoration – Professor Stanley Jaki was a Catholic priest of the Benedictine order. He was born in Hungary in 1924 and his country’s history affected him deeply. He confided in me how traumatized he was by the communists coming to power backed by the Soviet Army. Consequently, his monastic order was a victim of the oppression. After finishing his studies in Rome, he wasn’t allowed to return home and emigrated to the USA. That experience strongly influenced his historian work. The passion of his words and work can be divided into three points. Firstly, Fr Stanley Jaki’s work target was to clarify the relations between the sciences of nature and the Catholic Church. He did it on the epistemological level. He promoted Gödel’s theorem on philosophical interpretation concerning the incomplete formal systems in order to thwart the rationalist philosophy which set science as an absolute knowledge. He did it in physics and cosmology. His books, The Relevence of Physics (1967), and God and the Cosmologists (1980) brought him to receive the Lecomte de Nouy Prize (1970) and The Templeton Prize (1987). And in addition, he was invited to serve as a Gifford Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh. The second significant feature of Professor Stanley Jaki’s works was historical. In his writings he presented his wide perspectives about science since its Greek origins.

  • 203 Stanley L. Jaki. Science and Creation: from Eternal Cycles to An
    Philosophy in Review XXXVII (October/December 2017), no. 5/6 Stanley L. Jaki. Science and Creation: From Eternal Cycles to an Oscillating Universe. Real View Books. 375 pp. $29.00 USD (Paperback ISBN 9781892539205). This book is the new edition of the most important work by Stanley Jaki (1924-2009), a leading scholar in the area of the science-faith relationship. The Hungarian Catholic priest and philosopher, Distinguished Professor at Seton Hall University, and Winner of the Templeton Prize for 1987, devoted all his research to highlighting the impossibility of any contrast between science and faith. He rejected all those conceptions supporting the insubstantiality of faith and the absolute priority of scientific discourse. The opinions expressed in his major works can be summed up in the following points: a realistic worldview, the key role played by Christian theology in the origin of exact science, and a divide between the dominions of science and religion. The quantitative dimension of science, based upon measurements, and the salvific aim of religion, unequivocally contrast with the possibility of a real conflict between the two disciplines. Many errors have been committed because of the misunderstanding about their specific goals. Concordism just represents one of those mistakes, as the Bible does not include any scientific content. Another kind of mistake is made by scientists who adopt scientific statements to demonstrate the inconsistency of religion. Creation out of nothing, for instance, cannot form part of natural science, as the ‘nothing’ is not a scientific concept. According to Jaki, a true worldview consists in registering objects, whose reality implies the difference between the external world and human mind.

  • Scientism Full Lecture
    Monopolizing Knowledge: Scientism and the Search for an Integrated Reality Dr. Gordon E. Carkner January 25, 2017 Graduate & Faculty Ministries, Outreach Canada UBC Graduate & Faculty Christian Forum Blog: http://ubcgcu.org Contact: [email protected] Introduction Most people welcome the benefits that modern science has brought us: disease control, transportation and communication miracles, space travel, phenomenal wealth production, personal empowerment, conveniences of all sorts. It has also produced a vast array of jobs that once never existed and has empowered mankind’s curiosity immensely. The edifice of scientific journals is voluminous and impressive. Could our earlier ancestors ever have imagined that their arrow would reach the moon? There have been more discoveries and inventions in the twentieth century than in all previous history combined. We are in the age of science. The phenomenal growth of scientific and engineering knowledge and the growth in our technological skill have done much to help us adapt as a species, to make life easier and better. But the veneration of science (which has often morphed into an ideology) is called Scientism. That is what we want to examine closely—a metaphysical claim about the impossibility of metaphysics. It has a major influence within the Western university and cultural ethos. It impacts the social imaginary (how we think about ourselves). We also find it in places such as China, where scientific materialism heavily influences the way people picture their world. It appears to be based more on the psychological impact of science's three hundred year success, than on a logical conclusion from scientific evidence and discovery.

Dante's Divine Comedy is the object of a series of lectures by Jaroslav Pelikan: Eternal Feminines. The chapter on our Lady is lyrical, with the ex­ traordinary appreciation of history and Christian tradition we have learned to expect from Pelikan (Eternal Feminines: Three Theological Allegories in Dante's Paradiso [Rutgers Univ., 1990 ]). Friar of the Order of Preachers, Father Frederick Michael Jelly continues his steady pace of writing and lecturing on our Lady.
