Description

Something which threatens to be forgotten, to disappear from the memory of man is fixed upon here: namely, that in this world which is given us as our life’s environment, not only does the striving to take care of our daily needs possess an obvious right, as well the marketplace, the economy, scholarly research etc..

In their very midst there is something in the fullest sense beyond our daily concerns: “God’s tent” among men, the sanctuary where, set off from the round of daily work, the bodily presence of the eternal Logos become man is honoured and celebrated.

Josef Pieper, perhaps the most popular Thomist philosopher of the twentieth century, was schooled in the Greek classics and the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. He also studied philosophy, law, and sociology, and he was a professor at the University of Munster, West Germany. His numerous books have been widely praised by both the secular and religious press.
