M.A., Ph. D., Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA
She
believes that philosophy begins in wonder which leads to dialectic and
through dialectic to wisdom. This wisdom leads one to change one's life
for the better. Such changes open one to further wonder experiences, to
more interesting and exciting dialectic, to increasing wisdom and to
continual improvement of life. Her doctoral dissertation is on "The
Problem of the Philosopher as Teacher". There is a copy in the NDS
Library.

M.T.S., Franciscan
School of Theology, Ph.D., Fordham University
Dr. James Jacobs
specializes in the thought of Thomas Aquinas, particularly natural law
ethics. He approaches Thomistic realism not merely as an historical
interest, but as a vibrant and intellectually fulfilling alternative to
the decadent nominalism and relativism which characterize modern
approaches to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, and natural
theology. Dr. Jacobs has had articles published in such journals as the
American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly, Vera Lex and the
International Philosophical Quarterly.
