  • An Augustinian Correction to a Faulty Option: the Politics of Salt and Light
    Journal of Moral Theology, Vol. 10, No. 1 (2021): 46–72 An Augustinian Correction to a Faulty Option: The Politics of Salt and Light Anthony Crescio INCE ITS PUBLICATION IN 2017, Rod Dreher’s The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation has given rise to a cottage industry, including a wide range of S publications on the subject (either in support of or against) and conferences across the country. To be sure, a Christian perspective fully supports many elements in Dreher’s thought, like his calls for homes to become places of spiritual learning and growth,1 that institu- tions of Christian education take seriously their role in Christian for- mation,2 and the Church undergo a ressourcement type of renewal in all facets of its life.3 However, it is in the last area of ecclesiology where Dreher’s option ultimately fails in several ways because he does not grasp the full import of the sacramental ontology. While he rightly advocates a need for recovering it, he falls short in implementing it.4 His is, put simply, a failure of the imagination which has disastrous consequences for his understanding of how the church ought to engage in the political sphere. In order to demonstrate this failure, I adopt Dreher’s ressourcement methodology5 by engaging Augustine of Hippo as the primary inter- locutor and proceeding by way of four main steps. First, I discuss three ways Dreher’s work represents a failure of imagination. With the sec- ond step, I lay out Augustine’s sacramental metaphysics and corre- sponding ecclesiology.

The U.S.-Israel Special Relationship HERE ARE ALL FOUR PROGRAMS OF THIS MINI-SERIES - BEGINNING WITH PART ONE AND STEPHEN WALT - SCROLL DOWN FOR THE MOST RECENTLY PRODUCED PART FOUR WITH MEMBERS OF THE CIA The U.S.-Israel Special Relationship-Part ONE Keynote: Stephen Walt 30 second Preview/Promo for Part ONE The National Summit to Reassess the U.S.-Israel “Special Relationship,” was held March 7, 2014 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. It was the most high profile, public response and critique to-date of AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Israel’s foremost US Lobby, whose mission is to quote “urge(s) all members of Congress to support Israel through foreign aid, government partnerships, (and) joint anti-terrorism efforts.” Just days earlier, from March 1st through 3rd, AIPAC had held its annual policy conference in our nation’s capital, celebrating the US Special Relationship with Israel. According to AIPAC’s web site more than half of the Senate, a third of the House of Representatives and countless Israeli and American policymakers were among the 14,000 attendees. In face of that long established relationship granted by the US to no other country, the organizers of the “The National Summit to Reassess the U.S.-Israel ‘Special Relationship’” hoped to open the door to an informed and inclusive national discussion about what they consider the pitfalls of this “special relationship” with Israel.

Rothbard pitää yksilöllistä vapautta keskeisimpänä periaatteenaan, ja yhdistää filosofiassaan klassisen liberalismin perinnettä itävaltalaiseen taloustieteeseen, teleologiseen luonnonoikeusajatteluun sekä individualistiseen anarkismiin. Hänen tavoitteenaan on kehittää puhtaaseen järkeen pohjautuva oikeusoppi, jonka pohjalta voidaan perustaa vapaiden markkinoiden ihanneyhteiskunta. Valtiota ei täten Rothbardin ihanneyhteiskunnassa ole, vaan vastuu yksilöllisten luonnonoikeuksien toteutumisesta on kokonaan yksilöllä itsellään. Tutkin työssäni vapauden käsitettä Rothbardin anarko-kapitalistisessa filosofiassa. Selvitän ja analysoin Rothbardin ajattelun keskeisimpiä elementtejä niiden filosofisissa,
