RECENT RESEARCH 1)I am engaged in preparatory research for a book regarding providence, freedom, predestination, and natural law. Initially, it had three components. One part involved the intention to translate, and then to author a commentary about, hitherto unpublished parts of the original 8 volumes submitted by the Dominicans to the Congregatio de Auxiliis. This has been delayed because the original volumes (as distinct from the final accepted redacted version) cannot to the present be found. The second part was originally to prepare a small primer on the subject of freedom, divine causality, providence, grace, and predestination; whereas the third was to publish a larger and more comprehensive work defending the high Thomistic reading associated with Bañez and what the Holy See has historically referred to as the Thomistic school. Because of the failure to find the original longer submission of the Dominican Order to the Congregatio de Auxiliis—although the search is ongoing--I have decided to undertake work on the latter two parts of the project. Nonetheless, the search for the original submission continues and one prominent hypothesis--that it may be an uncatalogued possession of the Vatican Library—would if true render the discover of the document still to be possible. 2)Work toward 2nd edition, with response to critics, of The Teleological Grammar of the Moral Act. 2 3)Research under way with respect to a book regarding the relation of normative natural teleology, the common good, and economic method, particularly with respect to the Church’s social teaching. The factive teleology of some Whig and Austrian economists, is both integrated within, and limited, ordered, constrained, and criticized by, the normative natural teleology of Aquinas and Aristotle.
