Going Country

The convergance of bad economy, Super Big Government and the new ecoawareness has revived self-reliance, back-to-the-land and simple living movements. But do you fear the stereotypes of doing so? And does the mainstreaming of ecoliving made it too fadish and sometimes silly? Check out Jenna Woginrich's amusing post on these things. -D read this post

Peter Augustine Lawler in The New Atlantis:

The scientific truth of evolution does not explain who we are as personal beings. The truth about who we are—true liberalism—may well be unsustainable if the contradiction between our personal freedom and the impersonal truth about God and nature is too extreme. But perhaps the modern dualism between nature and personal freedom is, in truth, too extreme. There may well be a ground for who we are in nature itself. After all, as far as we can tell, only a human person, a being with logos and eros and will, could possibly be open to the truth about nature—or about being, including human being. Being a political being—part of a polis or nation—is part of the truth, though not the whole or the highest truth, about being who we are.

And then there is agape, something only Christ can fully explain.
