Natural Philosophy

Science is the basis of our assumptions about ourselves and our world, from ideas about our evolutionary past to our conceptions of the vast expanses of space and the smallest particles of matter. In this panoramic book, acclaimed historian of science Peter Dear uncovers the roots of such beliefs, revealing how they constitute a natural philosophy that has been developed and refined over the course of centuries—and how the world as we have come to know it was by no means inevitable.

Few ideas have been as influential in the development of moral, political, legal, and economic thought in the broad Western tradition as the idea of natural law. It is also true that the understanding of natural law and its influence on specific norms and institutions—rights, justice, private property, rule of law, limited government—is not anywhere near as widespread in the 21st century as it was just 100 years ago.

What is a theory? What is natural law? Can you have the philosophy of philosophy? What is “is ought”? What is natural philosophy? What does natural philosophy mean? What good is a forgotten knowledge? Is there a difference between believing in God and in natural philosophy? Why don’t they teach philosophy in schools? Sociology is not as known as physics or philosophy - why? Does it matter?

...all begins with thought! What can we accomplish with this faculty? Has it been superseded by intuition as a major human asset?

If God is the creator of all, might creation itself not provide us with ways of seeing God that enrich our understanding--that connect our desire for God with our life in creation? Natural theology has been a feature of Christian thinking for centuries, but it has also been misunderstood and...

¿Qué es una teoría? ¿Qué es la ley natural? ¿Puedes tener la filosofía de la filosofía? ¿Qué es “SE DEBE”? ¿Qué es la filosofía natural? ¿Qué significa filosofía natural? ¿De qué sirve un conocimiento olvidado? ¿Existe alguna diferencia entre creer en Dios y en la filosofía natural? ¿Por qué no enseñan filosofía en las escuelas?

Pure Political Philosophy: Natural Law and Sulaocracy is by philosopher and economist Michael DeVinney. It clearly explains the impossibility of understanding economics without understanding philosophy. Properly defining ethics and morals, using deductive logic, the author applies economic laws to political organizations and identifies various psychological effects that result. To top it off, a recommended listening list is provided which is designed to progressively increase the listener's knowledge.

We have mapped the surface of Mars with greater precision than the floor of our own oceans. We predict the weather on Jupiter but cannot say when the next earthquake will strike. We speak of the planet’s future with the confidence of prophets—yet we do not know where the water came from, why heavy elements sit in the crust instead of sinking to the core, or how the first living cell assembled itself from dust. Dust and Time is a sweeping, unflinching exploration of the vast territories of geological ignorance that modern science has papered over with confident models and apocalyptic headlines.

The journey of personal deconstruction is not an easy one, but once you have set out on the path, there is no going back. You will require determination, commitment, and a willingness to listen to the audiobook as it was intended, as a dialogue with yourself. They say change is not easy, but change is instantaneous: it is the resistance to the change that takes time. This audiobook is not about self improvement, although that is one of the side effects. It is an audiobook of serious inquiry into the nature of being human, using the author's life as a backdrop for many topics.

In this profoundly important reassessment of constitutional interpretation, the eminent legal philosopher Hadley Arkes argues that "originalism" alone is an inadequate answer to the judicial activism of the left. Without recourse to "mere Natural Law"—the moral principles knowable by all—our legal and constitutional system is doomed to incoherence. Brilliant in its analysis, essential in its argument, Mere Natural Law is a must-listen for everyone who cares about the Constitution, morality, and the rule of law.
