In Medio Ecclesiae: Essays in Honor of Benedict M. Ashley, O.P.
Becoming an integral part of Canada and its culture is an age old problem which occurs today just as it did when my story begins in 1940.The Mueller family were refugees from the communist revolution, were sponsored by Canada to begin a new life in this country. They had moved from a Mennonite Settlement in Manitoba to an area just being settled about sixty miles from Vancouver, British Columbia. World War Two is not even a year old. Twelve year old Lori finds it difficult to relate to her new circumstances. She had attended a school where all the children were Mennonites and lived by the same standards. Here the children find her strange and different Speaking German at home, they wonder ab...
The Way Toward Wisdom
Working from a realist Thomistic epistemology, this book asserts that we must begin our search for wisdom in the natural sciences. Of interest to students in philosophy and theology, it offers an analysis and synthesis of major historical contributions to the unification of knowledge.
Health Care Ethics
Modern medicine has unprecedented power to heal human beings of physical and mental disease, to keep them health, and even to improve the human race. This power can be used to humanize life or to dehumanize and destroy it. It can be used justly to benefit all, or it can be used to benefit the few at the expense of the many. How to use such power is a question of values and, therefore, of individual and group decisions which are not merely technical but ethical. Two reasons have induced us to add to the already extensive literature on medical-ethical and bioethical topics. First, too much of this literature focuses on a few controversial but sometimes minor topics, while neglecting the broader and major issues affecting human health and the health care professions. Second, we want to assist Christian, and especially Catholic, health care professionals and health care facilities faced with the difficult and often puzzling responsibility of giving witness to a long tradition of humanistic health care, while working with other professionals and government agencies committed to diverse value systems. -from Introduction.
Choosing a World-view and Value-system
This work is designed to help all those who seek a world-view and value-system by which they can live their lives to find everything they are looking for in Christ and in the Church which He founded.
The Arts of Learning and Communication
The present book is a tool for the teaching of the liberal arts in high school, or in the freshman year of college for those students whose high school studies were inadequate. It is intended to be at once a handbook and a textbook. As a handbook it should be used by the student throughout his four years in high school in every course. Every teacher in the school should insist that in each subject of the curriculum the processes of definition, statement, and argumentation outlined here should be exactly practiced in the student's reading recitation, discussion, and examination for that subject. In this way the transfer of training can be made explicit and effective. On the other hand this work is also a textbook to assist in the learning of these logical processes. The most appropriate place for its use is in the customary English courses. Here it will not replace the customary material but it will serve as a guide for teacher and student in using material to develop the liberal arts.
Healing for Freedom
In the midst of anti-religious sentiment, how are Christians to accept the type of freedom offered by modern psychology? Renowned theologian Benedict Ashley presents a Christian view of the human person's call to true freedom. Such liberty requires not only overcoming the typical struggles of personal development, but also attaining the healing that, for some, demands the ministrations of psychotherapy. While recognizing that the profound vocation of mankind requires spiritual and ethical integration, Ashley treats the major models of human personhood found in contemporary psychology. His mediating model of the human person sets a sound philosophical foundation that serves to integrate a Chr...
