Political Philosophy by Fr. Schall: 10. Simon, A General Theory of Authority

May 25, 2022 17:53 - 46 minutes - 84.3 MB

This course was recorded in 2015 in an informal setting by Fr. Schall himself. We will begin to read the small but insightful book of Yves Simon, A General Theory of Authority.

It is a demanding book, but well worth a careful read. "Simon's basic insight is that the more intelligent we are, the freer we ar...

"[The speech and essay of Cicero] show the eloquence so to speak, the power of sp...

James Schall taught Political Philosophy at G...
