I’ve Moved!

November 20, 2008

So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:

I AM NO LONGER BLOGGING HERE

In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here.

That said, this is not the end of . My wife has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.

Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.

Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.

Blogger Special: New Book on Social Teaching

October 29, 2008

I’m sending this rather impersonal “blog release” to Catholic blogs to alert them to the publication of my latest book, In Defense of Human Dignity: Essays on the Just Third Way from a Natural Law Perspective by , Economic Justice Media, ISBN 978-0-944997-02-4, $20.00. In my opinion, the current financial crisis has demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that only sound application of Catholic social teaching with its basis in the can provide a framework for rebuilding a moral and virtuous society.

The majority of the articles in the book were previously published in Social Justice Review, the official journal of the Central Bureau, in , and were personally vetted by the editor, the late Father , C.S.C., S.T.D. They demonstrate the universality of the principles underpinning the Just Third Way of the interfaith (”“), www.cesj.org, from a Catholic perspective. The book contains in-depth treatments of natural law political theory, , and social credit, and closes with an extended analysis of the principle of subsidiarity.

I serve as Director of Research for the interfaith Center for Economic and Social Justice (”CESJ”) in , . I was associate editor for and contributor to Curing World Poverty: The New Role of Property (Social Justice Review, 1994), was a co-author of Capital Homesteading for Every Citizen (Economic Justice Media, 2004), and am principal contributor to “The Just Third Way” blog, http://just3rdway.blogspot.com. In Defense of Human Dignity can be ordered online from and , as well as by special order from major bookstores. Bulk orders are available direct from the publisher, CESJ, at a 20% discount off the cover price, plus shipping. Inquiries should be directed to . A free review copy in format is available to bloggers. I had to split it into two “volumes,” but the formatting is otherwise similar, and the pagination remains the same. You just don’t get the cover designed by a professional graphic artist — but then, you shouldn’t be judging it by that, anyway.

Thank you.

Alert fans will have caught the reference to distributism, the economic model Chesterton was a proponent of. This might be one to check out, good Reader!
