Admin: The Earlier Meaning in History
Meaning in History during the years from 2008 through 2014 was quite a bit different. With the current religious wars coming to the fore it occurs to me that at least some readers might be interested in those past postings. Although they’re all archived here, thanks to a little help from my friends, they’re actually most readily accessible at the old Blogger site, which is still up: meaning in history. The archives are all linked in the right hand column. If anyone reads these and wishes to comment, it might be best to look them up here on the substack and comment there, since I check the comments here continually.
Here are links, in reverse chronological order, to all those posts. You may be interested to see that I took a two year hiatus, 2015-2016, but then came roaring back with a vengeance, so to speak, when the Russia Hoax ginned up:

So many essays, so little time . . . :) But I will find a way to read every one. Thanks!
Thank you, Mr. Wauck,
I just googled the book you've referred me to read, and the 1950 edition of Charles Scribner & Sons' publication of it shows in the Forward that Gilson's lectures were of that same William James Lecture Series at Harvard to which Lovejoy addressed his lectures in the 1932-33 academic year.
So, yes, I'll buy and read this book also, after I've finished his book that you've translated.
And, thank you for going into some of the background for the existence of Gilson's writing. My recollection is vague but during the prior six years or so, I've been attentive to written commentary by Catholics on the the glaring disruption of Catholic teaching by the Church's institutions and its clergy, obviously since Vatican II, but in actual errors trending since the French Revolution.
Separately, my general lay interest in the subject of 'how should a man live?' has been nurtured iat the start by Arthur F. Holmes' course lectures in Introduction to Philosophy, given at Wheaton College and available free online, all 81 Lectures.
May God keep you and your family well and in His Graces,
Sincerely, Joanne
