“The Four Meanings of ‘Christian Philosophy’”

By 1961, Grisez had participated in many discussions about Christian philosophy, most of which focused on the issue: Can something be both genuine philosophy and specifically Christian, and, if so, how? He was convinced that most discussions were vitiated by conceptual confusion. In this article, he tried to overcome that confusion.

“Faith, Philosophy, and Fidelity”

Although this article was published in 1984, it is a slightly revised version of a lecture Grisez gave on 17 September 1972: “The Complementarity of Faith and Philosophy.” Having just become a Professor of Philosophy at Campion College, which is an integral part of the largely secular University of Regina, Grisez staked out, for the entire university community, his position regarding his responsibilities as simultaneously a genuine philosopher and a faithful Catholic.
