The Disagreements Between Classical and Modernist Thought
Unknown at The Verma Report - 13 hours ago
Eric VoegelinIn his essay, "The Classical Studies,” Eric Voegelin notes
that Plato and Aristotle have created philosophy as the science of the
nature of man, but the Platonic-Aristotelian philosophy is in conflict with
the contemporary climate of opinion. Voegelin lists nine points of
disagreement between classical thought and modernist thought. Here are five
of his principal points:
1. *Classic*: There is a nature of man, a definite structure of existence
that puts limits on perfectibility.
*Modern*: The nature of man can be changed, either through historical

*Forbes: **Military Spy Satellite Targeting Iran Crashes To Earth After
Catastrophic Failure*
A military spy satellite has come crashing down to earth after the failure
of its launch rocket, sending the expensive payload into the Atlantic. The
UAE-owned Falcon Eye 1 was intended for dual-use, meaning both military and
civilian reconnaissance applications. And on the military side, one of the
objectives of a UAE satellite—given the current situation in the
region—would have been monitoring Iran.

Kenneth Adelman, a former assistant to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld

Remembering the Bombardment of Greytown
MWaxman at Lawfare - 13 hours ago
Bombardmen of San Juan del Norte, July 13, 1854 by USS Cyane. (French
magazine L'Illustration, 1854)
On this date in 1854, the U.S. Navy bombarded and torched the town of
Greytown, in present-day Nicaragua. The event gave rise to a federal court
opinion by Justice Samuel Nelson favored by modern-day lawyers who believe
that the president wields vast unilateral power to use military force. The
story behind the case reveals much more about how presidential naval
powers, as well as congressional checks, operated in the mid-19th century.

"Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind. It is a temper of the

deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm
wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair, these are
