Excerpt from The Physical System of St. Thomas
If in our Catholic schools Physical Sciences were rightly and fully taught, the evil would be less. But what we call Government schools are, for the most part, obligatory; and, by reason of the method prescribed, even for private schools it is impossible to elucidate those doctrines without which the pupils are neither instructed sufficiently nor prepared for resisting the temptations of the Universities.
By this treatise we cannot hope to be of use directly and immediately in the public schools of the Government: but we can hope to do something indirectly and mediately.

Church of GOD. While the present translation was passing through the press, the translator also, EDWARD HENEAGE DERING, was suddenly called to his reward. The last composition that he printed (in the Tablet, Nov. 19, 1892), was the following short memoir of his friend and master in Scholastic science, FATHER MATTEO LIBERATORS :3n flfcemonam. Sixty-seven years ago a boy of fifteen, whose book-learning had till then been in abeyance, by reason of his having wonderfully been the mainstay of his widowed mothers house from the age of ten, entered a Jesuit school in Naples, and, rapidly passing all his competitors, was in the following year a novice in the Society of JESUS.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the Physical System, a philosophical concept of matter and form that differs considerably from the Mechanic and Dynamic systems. The author begins by defining fundamental concepts such as materia prima and substantial form, explaining that every substance results from two principles: a source of extension (materia prima) and a source of activity (substantial form). The author clarifies that materia prima is not to be confused with the notions of atoms or seminal causes, and that substantial form is not a subsisting force. This system, advanced by the author as the Physical System of St. Thomas, is rooted in an ancient philosophical tradition and acknowledges the existence of physical laws as effects in created things. Drawing from the work of ancient philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle, the author traces the development of the concept of substantial form, emphasizing the crucial distinction between incomplete substances (materia prima and substantial form) and complete substances (the composite of both). The book explores the implications of the Physical System for our understanding of nature, creation, atoms, qualities, attraction, and physical laws. It argues that the Physical System provides a coherent and comprehensive framework for understanding the physical world, one that is both rooted in tradition and open to ongoing scientific inquiry.
