Jacques Maritain is a paradigmatic
Catholic philosopher, providing a model of the way in which religious
belief and various cultural, intellectual and political concerns can be
interwoven. Maritain responded with enthusiasm to the Church's
recommendation of St. Thomas Aquinas to the faithful as their master in
theology and philosophy. His writings exhibit how his mind was permeated
by the thought of the Angelic Doctor.
The Center exists to contribute to the continuing influence of the
spirit of Jacques Maritain at Notre Dame.

The Japan Popper Society, founded
in 1989 by Prof. Jun-ichi Aomi, an old friend of Sir Karl, and other
scholars, consists now of about 100 members (not only of professional
scholars but also of graduate students and people, who have interest in
Popper's Idea.)
The Japan Popper Society is by no means an academic society in the strict
sense, much lesser a "Popper fun club". There are in the JPS
many members, who are skeptical or critical against the Popperian
philosophy.
The Interest in the Ideas of Popper. This is the only one organization
principle of us. In the critical spirit of Popper, we hope to exchange our
opinions freely and to criticize each other, in order to learn; learn, how
to solve our problems better. We refuse relying upon any kind of
authority, whether of "ivory tower" or of "elders and
betters". So we wish to build an open society and a better world in
the sense of Popper.

The mission of The Jefferson Legacy
Foundation is to encourage people to learn about and from Thomas
Jefferson, his time and philosophy, so that they might be inspired to
participate in public affairs in ways reflective of the spirit of
Jefferson's life, thought, and ideals.
|
|
The Jefferson School has been
created to advance and disseminate the philosophical and scientific
knowledge that is necessary to the existence of a free society.
Accordingly, the School's primary mission is the further development,
application, and teaching of the ideas of the pro-reason,
pro-individualist philosophers and the pro-freedom, pro-capitalist
economists, and of compatible ideas in the field of psychology. All of its
activities and programs feature the relevant doctrines of Objectivist and
Aristotelian philosophy and of “Austrian” and Classical economics.

The University's John J. Reilly
Center for Science, Technology, and Values was created in 1985, and is
named for the father of an alumnus whose gift of an initial endowment for
the Center made its creation possible. The Center's undergraduate
Concentration Progam was launched in 1986 with the aid of a three-year
initial grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The Center is committed to advancing research on science and technology
as human, knowledge-producing institutions. It seeks to study the variety
of ways these institutions impact upon society at large. The Center's
mission is to create critical inquiry into the many dimensions of issues
entailed by our rapidly advancing technology sciences.

The Lonergan Research Institute of Regis College, Toronto,
Ontario, Canada, has a simple aim: to carry on the work of
philosopher-theologian-educator Bernard J.F. Lonergan--a work of immense
importance for the churches and human society at a time when both are in
urgent need of creative leadership. An old tradition says: where there is
no understanding, the people perish. Lonergan's contribution to human
living is par excellence one of understanding.
|
|
The Los Angeles Lonergan Center
makes available in a single location a range of research materials for use
by visiting scholars. The Center's collection was established by Timothy
P. Fallon SJ and maintained by him for many years at Santa Clara
University. After Tim Fallon's death the Center collection was transferred
to Loyola Marymount University and is currently maintained by Mark D.
Morelli.
