Back from Princeton

I just got back from the Princeton Seminar on Thomism and Analytic Philosophy, and it was great! My thanks to the Witherspoon Institute at Princeton and the Templeton Foundation for making it possible.

The week began with Metaphysics and worked its way up to Natural Law theory. Folks, the future looks brighter to me all the time. There were many highly competent theorists with a firm commitment to the faith. I met not only such First Things notable contributors as Robert George (who, I discovered, goes by "Robbie" and Jean Bethke Elshtain (who does not, as far as I know, go by "Jeanie").

More importantly, I was surrounded by the next generation of Georges and Elshtains. Be not affraid!
