Link of the day:
Peter Kreeft.com. Your one-stop shop for philosophical readings and listenings from the greatest living English-speaking Christian philosopher. I'm listening to
a lecture on "Happiness" presently. Also, check out
the culture war. There are few authors or speakers who can use the English language with such devastating humor. For instance, on his sixth point in the modern anatomy of happiness, he manages to imply that surfers prefer surfing to sex - all in an unperturbed formal voice.
Introducing
a talk on suffering several years ago in "The City" - New York - he says:
I am here because I am from Boston. Boston has more philosophers than any other city in the world per capita. This is because philosophy is the love of wisdom; wisdom comes through suffering; we have the Red Sox.

He can say the most impertinent things with a twinkle in his eye and that voice of his...and I have a name for each of his favorite suits. He's amazing.
