Certamen Philosophicum: Philosophical Combat for Divine and Natural Truth by Isaac Orobio de Castro, with an introduction by Seymour Feldman, a foreword by Jean-Pierre Rothschild, and a prologue and translation by Walter Hilliger. Narration is provided by Dan Hilliger, A.A.C., and it is published by Le Cercle Hilliger. This work delves into the correspondence between Isaac Orobio de Castro and Jan Bredenburg, highlighting the superiority of classical philosophy over the flawed reasoning influenced by Spinoza's ideas. Through meticulous logical analysis, Orobio exposes the inherent contradictions in modern philosophical materialism. He argues that Spinoza and his contemporaries disguise a new pantheistic atheism that replaces God with "Nature," relying on sophisms that ignore the common foundations of logic, grammar, metaphysics, and ontology. Orobio rejects the fragmentation of truth between science and religion, defending the convergence of scientific and religious thought through simultaneous and logical truths. This allows for a rational understanding of the existence of a necessary being, creation from infinite possibilities, and the limitations of finite agents. "Certamen Philosophicum" is an essential reference for those exploring the interaction between reason, faith, and existence. It is a crucial read for philosophers, theologians, and anyone interested in the classical foundations of faith in relation to reason. This translation aims to make Orobio's work accessible to contemporary readers and illuminate the connections between his classical context and modern existential questions. Isaac Orobio de Castro (1617-1687) is recognized as a prominent anti-modernist in 17th-century philosophy.Mostra libro

In Warfighter, Colonel Jesse L. Johnson, one of the most decorated living American veterans, recounts the action-packed true-life tale of a man who stood and fought at the crossroads of history. Spanning forty years of conflict, from the jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of Iran and Iraq, never has a modern military memoir covered such a vast landscape of all-out warfare. Never has one man fought on the frontlines of so many of America's most heroic battles. Johnson led the most elite forces on operations that defined eras past and present, mentoring young soldiers who would rise to become some of America's greatest generals. He held the ear of princes, kings, presidents, and even Hollywood movie stars. With an all-star cast worthy of an epic war film, this extraordinary hero's journey sheds new light on some of the most transformative events of our time—crises, conflicts, and covert operations that have shaped the world as we know it today. More important, Warfighter offers us a deeper understanding of the personal sacrifice and human toll of a lifetime at war, and the honor-bound code of a man whose instinct in battle was to always charge ahead of those under his command—into the fight.Mostra libro
