  After four tense decades of the Cold War and a subsequent period of relative stability across much of Europe, is the continent once again under threat? And are Europeans prepared to face the growing risks and strategic challenges of the second quarter of the 21st century? This ISPI Report, crafted for both expert readers and a broader audience, traces the evolution of Europe's defense architecture on two parallel tracks: the defense of Europe, fundamentally underpinned by NATO and shaped through its continual adaptation; and the pursuit of a distinctly European defense identity, increasingly advanced through the European Union. It examines the intersections, overlaps, tensions, and pivotal turning points in this dual process, exploring institutional and organizational frameworks, strategies and doctrines, missions and operations, as well as military and industrial capabilities. The storyline leads to 2025, a symbolic crossroads that may mark the end of one era and the beginning of another: a moment when Europeans will be called upon to assume full responsibility for their own security and defense. Will they rise to the challenge?

  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.
