D. C. Schindler is professor of metaphysics and anthropology at the John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family in Washington, DC. He has been a guest on our Journal more than once. Volume 142 included a conversation about his book, Freedom from Reality: The Diabolical Character of Modern Liberty (University of Notre Dame Press, 2017). On Volume 147, he explained the importance of a recovery of the classical and Christian understanding of the Transcendentals. That was a conversation about Love and the Postmodern Predicament: Rediscovering the Real in Beauty, Goodness, and Truth (Cascade Books, 2018). On Volume 154, he talked about his book, The Politics of the Real: The Church Between Liberalism and Integralism (New Polity Press, 2021).
