With the modern mind confused and unhinged, finding a foundation solid enough to support ones intellect, deep enough to keep it grounded, and flexible enough to bend and mold to its needs, is a rare thing.
Traditional Christian thought is the ground out of which western science, thought, literature, music and art grew.
The book 'Christian Philosophy' by Joseph M. de Torre covers the basics of this old and often ignored system of thought. For those seeking to understand the tumultuous times and participate within it from firm ground this book provides just that.
This final episode describes the schools of thought that are prevalent during the 20th century and their influence on the times today. Emphasis is placed on the thinking of Hegel as well as the thinking of the schools of materialism and existentialism.
