    2021 AGENDA PAOLINA con riflessioni quotidiane dagli scritti del beato Giacomo Alberione Anno LXV © SASP s.r.l., 2020 Copertina di Ulysses Navarro, ssp “Gesù Maestro Via Verità Vita”: realizzazione grafica di Ulysses Navarro, ssp PRESENTAZIONE «Ut unum sint». Dalla Parola l’unità. La comunione con la Trinità come senso ultimo della nostra vita aposto- lica, del nostro vivere insieme per l’evangelizzazione e del nostro operare perché l’umanità possa incontrare Gesù Maestro. Ma anche la comunione come stile di vita e mentalità, continuamente rinnovata da Cristo e dalle nuove frontiere della missione paolina. Questo essere “uno” esprime il senso del “corpo”, della Famiglia Paolina pronta a operare insieme, a pregare insieme per l’umani- tà, a generare nuovi percorsi di vita. Lo sfondo dei brani scelti per l’Agenda Paolina 2021 è la sinodalità, tema tanto caro a Papa Francesco e neces- sario per vivere la nostra missione. “Camminare insieme”, nella diversità dei doni, è un atteggiamento profondo ma anche un modo di operare. “Sinodali” lo siamo nel vivere la nostra missione come Famiglia, quando la Parola di Dio ci raggiunge, ci conquista e dà nuovi significati al no- stro essere in mezzo all’umanità di oggi. La vita del Beato Giacomo Alberione, nel Centenario della sua professione religiosa (5 ottobre), è per noi un esempio perché impre- gnata di incontri, di reciprocità, di ascolto, di coinvolgi- mento… Il suo amore alla Scrittura, e in particolare alle Lettere di san Paolo, ha plasmato il suo modo di vivere da apostolo e di esserci padre. Durante quest’anno celebriamo il 50° della morte del Primo Maestro e portiamo a termine, proprio il 26 no- vembre, l’Anno Biblico di Famiglia Paolina.

Please sign below, and give address and date. Thank you. iv OCCURRENT CONTRACTARIANISM: A Preference-Based Ethical Theory ABSTRACT There is a problem within contractarian ethics that I wish to resolve. It concerns individual preferences. Contractarianism holds that morality, properly conceived, can satisfy individual preferences and interests better than amorality or immorality. What is unclear, however, is whether these preferences are those individuals actually hold or those that they should hold. The goal of my thesis is to investigate this question. I introduce a version of contractarian ethics that relies on individual preferences in a manner more stringent than has been in the literature to date. "Occurrent contractarianism," as I have called it, is rooted in our social- psychological state. Given the characteristics we have, and given the social situation in which we are embedded, the best resolve we have of furthering our individually defined preferences is to adopt and adhere to a moral system.

    Biography How can we respond when God seems to ask the impossible of us? Venerable Thecla Merlo (1894–1964) must have asked herself this question many times. Born to a simple farming family, Thecla was not highly educated, and she was plagued by poor health. In 1915, however, she embarked on an extraordinary adventure that would place her at the forefront of a new charism in the Church. This young seamstress would be among the first Daughters of St. Paul, dedicated to proclaiming the Gospel with all forms of media. Thecla’s uncommon gifts, unshakable confidence in God, and broad vision made her a prophetic voice for evangelization. One hundred years later, her legacy continues to inspire men and women around the globe. “How beautiful and holy it is to communicate Jesus to others—the Jesus whom we want to always carry in the center of our hearts.” — Venerable Mother Thecla Merlo $14.95 U.S. ISBN 0-8198-7527-9 Thecla A Prophetic Voice in Media Evangelization by Domenico Agasso BOOKS & MEDIA Boston The Scripture quotations in this publication are from the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, Catholic edition, copyright © 1965 and 1966 by the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and are used by permission.

  • Changes in 2004 Who's Who in Philosophy at Stfx
    A newsletter from St. F. X.’s Department of Philosophy Spring 2004 Welcome to the first issue of the Philosophy Department’s Newsletter. In it, we hope to give readers an idea about the Philosophy programme at St FX, some information on the teaching and research interests of the professors in the Department, and a list of the courses we are offering next year. Philosophy at StFX is one of the more popular departments in the Faculty of Arts. Our professors are noted for their teaching in the annual review of universities in Macleans, and many are known, internationally, for their research. In fact, in the last external review of the Department (2002), we were described as “almost certainly the best small Department [of Philosophy] in the country.” The Philosophy Department is committed to teaching and to providing students with a broad range of courses that do not compromise on standards. It’s easy to see why philosophy graduates do so well on LSAT, GMAT and GRE tests (see page 4 for more). Our second and third year courses cover Ethics - theoretical and applied - philosophy of science, of literature, of religion, and of human nature, as well as all of the major periods in the history of philosophy. But the Philosophy Department is actively involved in research as well. A third of the department has received grants from the SSHRC – Canada’s leading research council on the humanities - and it publishes, on average, one book, two edited books, and 17 scholarly papers each year. The Department is also undergoing renewal.

  • Philosophical Genres and Literary Forms: a Mildly Polemical Introduction
    Philosophical Genres and Literary Forms: A Mildly Polemical Introduction Jonathan Lavery Philosophy and Contemporary Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University (Brantford) The essays collected in this special issue of Poetics Today examine philo- sophical genres with illustrations from important and representative texts. Since the inception of Western philosophy, myriad expository styles and literary forms have been used there with extraordinary subtlety in address- ing the conceptual problems within the tradition. Aphorisms, dialogues, epistles, autobiographies, essays, systematic treatises, and commentaries— to name only some of the most obvious examples—should be familiar to both casual and serious readers. Philosophers have exercised a great deal of ingenuity in their experiments with these and other genres. Still, it is fair to say that the amount of scholarly research on philosophical genres is not commensurate with either the diversity of genres that have been used in the tradition or with the vast amount of research on other dimensions of these texts, including, for example, philological work on the provenance and integrity of source manuscripts, historical work on intellectual influences upon the authors, or analytical work on the logical cogency of individual arguments. In short, there has been little elucidation of the distinctive virtues and limitations implicit in the different genres. The present special issue draws critical attention to a representative sample of genres that have been used in different periods of the Western philosophical
