A worthy article by Mark and Louise Zwick, followed by two exerpts:
The Drawbacks of Pure Secular Reason
By Mark and Louise Zwick
"Enlightenment philosophy prepared the way for Scientism, which claimed that 'philosophical problems are scientific problems and should only be dealt with as such.'"
"Unlike Enlightenment philosophers, Peter Maurin and Dorothy Day found their deepest freedom and meaning in the Church - the freedom to be connected with their destiny and calling, the freedom to make a difference in the world and in the lives of people, the freedom to live the Gospel in its fullness and to deepen in knowledge, truth, beauty, and goodness."
The article also documents some of the influence of Charles Peguy on Maurin and Day, something that I had wondered about but have not seen previously.
