Brother Francis Maluf applies his fifty plus years of teaching philosophy to give the student an appreciation for sound thinking as it was understood by the best Greek minds of antiquity and the best Catholic minds of the Ages of Faith.
The links below are to individual courses. The complete set is available here.
Introductory Course
Eight one-hour cassette tapes. Each tape introduces one of the eight philosophy courses. The Introductory course is a great way to “test the waters” and judge for yourself whether the complete course is for you.
8 Tapes or MP3 CD $35.00

Logic is the art and science of correct reasoning. The student will learn here, not how to think — anyone can do that — but how to think correctly. (60 page booklet included.)
Listen to the first class. (27.4 MB / 1 hour)
21 Tapes or 1 MP3 CD $99.00
II. Cosmology
This course studies matter in motion, substantial change, and therefore, the whole material universe as it manifests the purpose and wisdom of the Creator. (25 page booklet included.)
