God and the City - D.C. Schindler | Catholic Culture Podcast

One of the most brilliant philosophers working today, D.C. Schindler, returns to the Catholic Culture Podcast to discuss his latest book, God and the City: An Essay in Political Metaphysics. In it, he draws an analogy between metaphysics as the most comprehensive science in the theoretical order and politics as the most comprehensive science in the practical order. Examining how in metaphysics, God is necessarily involved, yet without being the direct object of that science, Schindler argues that the same is true of the relationship between God and politics. Just as it is in God that the individual person "lives and moves and has its being", even before revelation and grace enter the picture, God is both the highest good of human community, and intimately present within it.

Whatever view of the subject of metaphysics Schindler is giving here, it's definitely not Thomism. Now I understand why the JP2 Institute Grad students I meet seem to think metaphysics is a super-science that contains all the other sciences.
