Are You Seeing Reality Wrong? A Catholic Philosopher Explains

In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Bonaventure Chapman sits down with Professor Philip Rosemann to explore the deep connections between philosophy through the ages. Currently the Cottrill-Rolfes Chair of Catholic Studies at the University of Kentucky, Prof. Rosemann has taught philosophy across the world, from in Belfast (N. Ireland), Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium), Nkozi (Uganda), Dallas, and Maynooth (Ireland).

In their conversation, Prof. Rosemann and Fr. Bonaventure work out the relation between nature and grace, as well liturgy and language. Reflecting on Prof. Rosemann's book, Gratia non tollit naturam: Technologies of the Self and the Catholic Constitution of Time and Space, and touching on his upcoming project on language, they tease out what it means to truly live liturgically highlighting the Liturgy of the Hours.
