One of the most brilliant philosophers working today, D.C.
Schindler, returns to the Catholic Culture Podcast to discuss his
latest book, God and the City: An Essay in Political Metaphysics.
In it, he draws an analogy between metaphysics as the most
comprehensive science in the theoretical order and politics as the
most comprehensive science in the practical order. Examining how in
metaphysics, God is necessarily involved, yet without being the
direct object of that science, Schindler argues that the same is
true of the relationship between God and politics. Just as it is in
God that the individual person “lives and moves and has its being”,
even before revelation and grace enter the picture, God is both the
highest good of human community, and intimately present within
it.
