Toward a New Cosmology: The Grand Pivot from Natural Law to Complexity Science

Last updated on: October 31, 2019 at 8:17 am By Peter Hammond Schwartz

As we can see from the hardening religious impulse in our current authoritarian, autocratic moment, the traditionalist defense of “civilization” ultimately rests upon the complicated, combined influence of the major Abrahamic revealed religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). The Abrahamic faiths – based as they are on divine revelation, sacred texts and prophetic moments – require a creator-centric moral order that exists outside of time and space. In the last millennium, Thomist natural law – the philosophical thread of law and... Read more

Virtue and Power: The Political Dysphoria of Natural Law Moral Philosophy

Last updated on: November 23, 2019 at 10:01 pm By Peter Hammond Schwartz

This (thank God) is my final essay on Princeton professor Robby George and natural law moral philosophy. Other essays I’ve written about natural law (see below) have emphasized its political uses for an influential cohort of Catholic conservatives closely connected to Donald Trump and the Republican Party. In this essay, I explore the relationship between the politics of abortion and adoption to surface irreconcilable contradictions at the heart of Catholic natural law. I argue that conservative Catholicism’s most significant political... Read more

Alien vs. Predator: The Metastasis of Steve Bannon

Last updated on: September 23, 2019 at 2:28 pm By Peter Hammond Schwartz

As I’ve previously written, in the spirit of Yeats’s Second Coming poem, the axis of conflict in the coming decades will be a civilizational battle between two irreconcilable, non-liberal regimes and worldviews – backward-looking, Creator-centered Catholic natural law and forward-looking Creation-centered complexity science. As I’ve also previously written, Steve Bannon, who welcomes this Armageddon, discloses the raw political truth beneath the verbally seductive natural law truisms on which the Republican Party in the United States has propped itself up in...

Steve Bannon’s Pennywise Moment

Last updated on: October 1, 2019 at 9:55 am By Peter Hammond Schwartz

Previously: Steve Bannon’s Second Coming Bannon at the Vatican In the summer of 2014, Steve Bannon delivered closing remarks to a small conference on “alleviating global poverty” hosted by the Dignitatis Humanae Institute (DHI) in a small marble palace tucked deep within the Vatican. Bannon spoke via Skype from Los Angeles. This address came to the attention of the world in the days following the 2016 presidential election in a now-famous Buzzfeed article entitled This is How Steve Bannon Sees the Entire World (you...
