I observe you're discussing with my friend Lukas Novak.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font> <\/p>\n

Here, in the Czech Republic, one of the most atheistic and secularist countries in the world, one can, paradoxically, observe a sort of revival of Aristotelian and scholastic philosophy, including the inauguration of philosophical organizations and of a Neo-Aristotelian journal, several conferences, and interaction with the mainstream, sometimes with original results, both in the history of philosophy and systematic philosophy. You can take a look at these sites:<\/font><\/div>\n
Suarez Society<\/font><\/a> (international)
<\/font>Caramuel conference 2006<\/a><\/div>\n
Czech Aristotelian Society<\/font><\/a> <\/font><\/div>\n
Studia Neoaristotelica<\/font><\/a> (a new journal of the societies; partially in Czech and Slovak, in the future to a greater degree in world languages).<\/font><\/div>\n
<\/font> <\/div>\n
The leading figure of the young Czech scholastics, who are my friends, is Prof Stanislav Soused\u00edk<\/a> (* 1931), a historian of baroque philosophy and systematically a theorist of predication. He has published extensively in Czech and German. <\/font><\/div>\n
<\/font> <\/div>\n
There will be a conference on the synthesis of ontology of scholasticism and analytic philosophy (Prague, Czech Republic, 2010, c. June 28 — June 30, organized by Charles University in Prague – Catholic Theological Faculty). <\/font><\/div>\n
<\/font> <\/div>\n
The themes are: <\/font><\/div>\n

Aristotelian metaphysics and its plausibility; scholastic development of Aristotelian metaphysics; contemporary metaphysics: being and existence, realism vs. nominalism, structure of particulars, persistence through time, the necessary and the possible, propositions and states of affairs, causes and explanation; God. From the invited speakers, E. J. Lowe, Michael J. Loux, Gyula Klima, David S. Oderberg, Robert Passnau, Edward Feser, and Uwe Meixner have confirmed their attendance. I repent that before the budget of the conference was run out I had not asked you whether you would come.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
