Particularmente Tomás de Vío (Cayetano) se hace blanco de las críticas gilsonianas. Es entonces cuando Gilson descubre los comentarios a la Summa Theologiae del dominico Domingo Báñez (1528-1604) que dejarán en el filósofo francés una huella profunda pues veía en él la comprobación histórica de sus propias tesis. 1 Gilson no ahorrará elogios para el comentador salmantino: "[es] el más tomista de todos los tomistas que he tenido el privilegio de conocer." 2 Su comentario a la Summa

Communication is not just the exchange of information, which has an influence on the consistency and identity of societies, but it is also a creative factor that shapes human development. Society exists thanks to the relationships that exist between the people living in community, and communication is the most perfect way for people to express themselves within a community. For this reason, a reflection on the issue of man's participation in public life in the context of communication processes is an important element shaping the consciousness of the community's functioning. Considerations on the evolution of interpersonal relationships and the way people participate in them based on communication seem to be particularly relevant. It might seem that at the wake of the information society era, man, through communication, can fully participate in all public events. Meanwhile, we stumble upon the opposite phenomenon, meaning a progressive lack of involvement, and even indifference, towards public issues. The experiences of former communist countries are especially important in this respect. For instance, Poland has created a tradition of philosophical personalism developed by Karol Wojtyła and Mieczysław A. Krąpiec. 1 Their personalism, which has

Caritas reveals the implicit, hidden, and faulty theological and philosophical commitments of secular reasonwhich, when used as a medium for the Gospel, can too easily taint the true doctrine the Church attempts to convey with it-proclaiming instead a radically orthodox diagnosis of and prescription for a disenchanted, love-and-truth starved-yet Enlightenment-weary-postmodern world. Human knowledge is insufficient and the conclusions of science cannot indicate by themselves the path towards integral human development. 1 Without truth, without trust and love for what is true, there is no social conscience and responsibility, and social action ends up serving private interests and the logic of power, resulting in social fragmentation, especially in a globalized society at difficult times like the present. 2 What can convince modern man is not a historical or a psychological or a continually ever modernizing Christianity but only the unrestricted and uninterrupted message of Revelation. 3 I. A Postmodern Pope Pope John XXIII's final encyclical, Pacem in Terris, written two months before his death on June 3, 1963, was the first in history to address "all men of good will," rather than only the bishops and laity of the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Benedict's most recent encyclical, Caritas in Veritate, unlike his first two, is also addressed to both Catholics and non-Catholics. It would seem safe to assume that an encyclical whose audience includes both believers and unbelievers would be quite different in both substantive content and mode of KOZINSKI 39

In this address, Falcke deals with the legacy of ''socialism'' as it developed in the GDR, but at the same time he urges an ''alternative to capitalism that promotes more just structures in the world'' and calls for ''economic power and processes to be embedded within the political responsibility for justice and for the environment'' (p.131).

He also notes, and no doubt this was because Wilson did not live to edit his lectures, that there are large sections in Wilson's discussion of epistemology which are not clearly cited as from Reid or Hutcheson, yet repeat them fairly directly.

As analternative to the utilitarianism and relativism of liberal moraltheory, MacIntyre has proposed virtue-ethics and "traditionconstitutedrationality." As an alternative to the individualism andbureaucratization of liberal moral practice, MacIntyre has proposedthe practices and politics of local community. MacIntyrehas presented his anti-liberal moral and political vision in histrilogy, After Virtue, Whose Justice? Which Rationality?, and Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry, in later works such asDependent Rational Animals, and in numerous articles, lectures,and interviews; and he has done so with a brilliance, erudition, andsophistication unmatched by his liberal opponents. Yet, as I shallattempt to show in this article, MacIntyre's moral theory containsinternal contradictions that render its practical application ofsmall-scale, tradition-constituted ...
