The City of the Sacred Well

T. A. Willard

Sinopse

IMAGINE yourself the sole owner of a plantation within which lies a city more than twelve square miles in area; a city of palaces and temples and mausoleums; a city of untold treasures, rich in sculptures and paintings. Would you not feel shamefully wealthy? And does it not seem strange that Don Eduardo, the master of such a plantation, takes the fact of his ownership with apparent calmness?
But, before your fancy carries you too far, let me tell you a little more about this remarkable city, which may dampen your ardor for ownership, but which only increases its value in Don Eduardo’s eyes. It is a dead city. Its thousands of inhabitants perished or abandoned it nobody knows how long ago—probably before Columbus first saw the shores of America. And it is in the heart of Yucatan, where Mexico, ending like the upflung tail of a huge fish, juts into the gulf, while Cuba serves as a sentinel a hundred and fifty miles to the eastward.

Certamen Philosophicum -...

Isaac Orobio de Castro, Walter...

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.
