Thomistic Common Sense The Philosophy of Being and the Development of Doctrine


Free Download Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, "Thomistic Common Sense: The Philosophy of Being and the Development of Doctrine"
English | ISBN: 1645851079 | 2021 | 352 pages | EPUB | 975 KB
Despite living in an "information age," we are confronted by the clash of ideologies and a crisis of universal knowledge. The Church is not unaffected by the world’s weariness and similarly faces what Fr. Mauro Gagliardi describes as "the lack of truth, or perhaps better, the disinterest in it." Today’s philosophical and doctrinal decline are the results of the loss of first principles and a relativistic view of doctrinal development.

New Science Principles of the New Science Concerning the Common Nature of Nations (Penguin Classics)


Free Download New Science: Principles of the New Science Concerning the Common Nature of Nations (Penguin Classics) by Giambattista Vico, translated by David Marsh
English | January 1, 2000 | ISBN: 0140435697 | True EPUB | 560 pages | 0.9 MB
Barely acknowledged in his lifetime, the New Science of Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) is an astonishingly perceptive and ambitious attempt to decipher the history, mythology and laws of the ancient world. Discarding the Renaissance notion of the classical as an idealised model for the modern, it argues that the key to true understanding of the past lies in accepting that the customs and emotional lives of ancient Greeks and Romans, Egyptians, Jews and Babylonians were radically different from our own.

Crooked, but Never Common The Films of Preston Sturges


Free Download Crooked, but Never Common: The Films of Preston Sturges by Stuart Klawans
English | January 10, 2023 | ISBN: 023120728X, 0231207298 | True EPUB | 376 pages | 35.1 MB
In a burst of creativity unmatched in Hollywood history, Preston Sturges directed a string of all-time classic comedies from 1939 through 1948―The Great McGinty, The Lady Eve, Sullivan’s Travels, The Palm Beach Story, and The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek among them―all from screenplays he alone had written. Cynical and sophisticated, romantic and sexually frank, crazily breakneck and endlessly witty, his movies continue to influence filmmakers and remain popular to this day. Yet despite this acclaim, Sturges’s achievements remain underappreciated: he is too often categorized as a dialogue writer and Description engineer more than a director, or belittled as an irresponsible spinner of laughs.
