Abstract

D.C. Schindler argues that the new ressourcement must address the modern ontological rupture between the Church and the world. By retrieving the philosophical insights of figures like Péguy and Blondel, Schindler advocates for an integration of nature and grace. He suggests that metaphysics and political science are essential for revealing the world’s intrinsic porosity to the Gospel, ultimately proposing a synthesis where Christ is the heir to all human culture.
