Redpath on the Nature of Philosophy
No full textIn this article the author discusses Peter A. Redpath’s understanding of the nature of philosophy and his account of how erroneous understandings of philosophy have led to the decline of the West and to the separation of philosophy from modern science and modern science from wisdom. Following Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas, Redpath argues that philosophy is a sense realism because it begins in wonder about real things known through the senses. Philosophy presupposes pre-philosophical knowledge, common sense, which consists of principles rooted in sensation that make human experience, sense wonder, and philosophy possible. Philosophy is certain knowledge demonstrated through causes and thus philosophy is the same as science. Redpath understands science as a habit that we acquire through repeated practice. More precisely, a scientific habit is a simple quality of the intellect that enables us to demonstrate (prove) the necessary properties of a genus through their causes or principles. In this way, science is the study of the one and the many. Redpath argues that metaphysics is the final cause of the arts and sciences, providing the foundation for all of the arts and sciences and justifying their principles. Finally, he argues that with modernity’s loss of belief in God and its rejection of metaphysics as a science, utopian socialism has become an historical/political substitute for metaphysics
Gilson as Christian Humanist
No full textThe author suggests that the intellectual life of Étienne Gilson constituted a new humanism, that Gilson’s scholarly work was part of a new renaissance, that a new humanism that Gilson thought is demanded by the precarious civilizational crisis of the modern West after World Wars I and II. He also argues that, more than anything else, Gilson was a renaissance humanist scholar who consciously worked in the tradition of renaissance humanists before him, but did so to expand our understanding of the notion of “renaissance” scholarship and to create his own brand of Christian humanism to deal with problems distinctive to his age. The author shows the specificity of the Christian humanism that Gilson developed as part of his distinctive style of doing historical research and of philosophizing
E.R. Redpath fonds
No full textEdward Riley Redpath was born May 17, 1865, in Effingham, Ontario. Early work with the Canadian Pacific Railway brought him west to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan in 1883. Edward then worked at C.P.R. stations in Carberry, Selkirk, and Melita, Manitoba. It was in Selkirk that he met Annie Agnes Mary Gibbs. They were married in Selkirk on February 9, 1892. In 1897, Edward took a job with C.P.R. Steamship Line. That job took him and his family to Trail, B.C. and then to East Robson. The sternwheeler photos in this collection were most likely taken during this time, which was before the railway bridge crossing the Columbia River at Robson was built.The family moved to Greenwood in October, 1899, when Redpath became the agent at Greenwood. The rails had not quite reached Greenwood then. Edward Redpath was transferred to Grand Forks to be agent there in November 1913. The Redpath family moved to Nelson in September 1914, when Edward became Freight Agent there. The Redpaths moved to Vancouver in 1932, after Edward Redpath retired from the C.P.R. Edward Riley Redpath died there on Feb. 22, 1956. Edward Redpath was an early adopter of photography. His oldest daughter was born in 1896, and she remembered her father taking photographs even when she was very young. He seems to have enjoyed having his children dress up and pose in comic situations, such as the photo of the George, Hazel, and Grace on the platform of the Greenwood train station. The actual photographs are held by Redpath's descendants and are displayed here for public access with their permission and encouragement. Digitized material includes two family albums and a small collection of photographs

The Importance of Gilson
No full textThe author aims at answering why preserving, reading, and understanding the work of Étienne Gilson is crucial for the Western civilization if one wishes to be able to understand precisely the problems that are besetting the West and how one can best resolve them. He claims that among all the leading intellectuals of the past or present generation, no one has better diagnosed the philosophical ills of Western culture and better understood the remedy for those ills than has Étienne Gilson
