Political Philosophy by Fr. Schall: 60. Republic Book 10
This course was recorded in 2015 in an informal setting by Fr. Schall himself. "The unity of the Republic is complete- from the first words of Socrates at his trial to the last words at the end of the Republic we have an ever deepening reflection on the order of things..." For over 35 years, Fr. James Schall taught Political Philosophy at Georgetown University, where he was legendary among generations of students. If you want an experience of what those students enjoyed, this course is the place to begin. Fr. Schall starts with Aristotle’s Ethics and Politics and then, with wisdom and wit, guides his listeners through the thought of the great Roman statesman Cicero, the French Catholic philosopher Yves Simon, the Old and New Testaments, the political thought of St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas on Law, Machiavelli, politics in the plays of Shakespeare, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Nietzsche, and finally, Plato’s masterwork, the Republic. It is a historical and intellectual tour de force in 60 lectures. What generations of students had to pay thousands of dollars in tuition to hear, you can now have in recorded lectures to listen to over and over again. In preserving the lectures of Fr. Schall, we at the Catholic International University feel that we are fulfilling the mission set by our founder Ralph McInerny: to make the best Catholic lectures available as widely as possible to the public. Please don’t miss this opportunity to engage in one of the greatest intellectual journeys you’ll ever take with one of this generation’s wisest guides. catholicthinkers.org

Political Philosophy by Fr. Schall: 59. Republic Chapter 8-9
This course was recorded in 2015 in an informal setting by Fr. Schall himself. Books Eight and Nine concern the decline of existing states. After the city in speech is argued in the first seven books, a theme from the end of book four reappears, that of the order of "decline" of states and the reasons for it. The citizen and the state are parallel, one decline leads to the next, ending in tyranny. For over 35 years, Fr.
