Resurrection (in the philosophical sense)

I'm resurrecting this old blog to serve as the sounding board for my current philosophical (and probably theological as well) thoughts.  You can pretty much ignore the older posts of this blog, I doubt they have any real insight into... well, much of anything.  In fact, you can probably pretty much ignore the upcoming posts of this blog, because they too will likely have very little insight.  I just happen to enjoy philosophizing, even if I'm no good at it.

A little heads up as to what you might be reading if you stumble across this blog:

Right now I'm delving into a deeper study of Thomas Aquinas, angelic doctor of the Church.  My major point of interest is the grace/nature discussion, although I'm interested in the entire faith/reason, philosophy/theology discussion in general.  My guess is that most of the "musings" that go on here will have to do mostly with those subjects.  A warning: my musings will likely lack coherency.  For that, I apologize.

Oh.  I'm also very interested in the so-called problem of [post-]modernity.  So I'm sure that will come up fairly often as well.

Current philosophical texts:
Natura Pura by Steven Long OP
Summa Theologia
The Dumb Ox by GK Chesterton
