Frederick D. Wilhelmsen (1923 – 21 May 1996) was a distinguished Roman Catholic philosopher, noted, both as a professor and as a writer, for his explication and advancement of the Thomistic tradition. He also was an insightful political commentator, assessing American politics and society from a traditionalist perspective and an incisive and courageous political thinker, addressing many of the failings of secular-liberal democracy. He principally was a professor at the University of Dallas from 1965 to his death in 1996. He also taught at the University of Santa Clara, the Al-Hikma University in Baghdad, the University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain, and lectured and taught classes at many other universities. He was a prolific writer. Besides all the book publications listed below, he contributed articles to the following: ''America'', ''The Angelus'', ''The Commonweal'', ''Faith & Reason'', ''The Grail'', ''The Intercollegiate Review'', ''Modern Age'', ''National Review'', ''The Political Science Reviewer'', ''Triumph'', ''The University Bookman'', and ''The Wanderer,'' among others. He also was a founding editor of ''Triumph'', a Roman Catholic monthly that sought the sacralization of American society.〔Mark D. Popowski, The Rise and Fall of Triumph: The History of a Radical Roman Catholic Magazine, 1966-1976 (Lanham, MD: Lexington, 2011).〕 In addition to assessing American politics and society, he was inspired by and extensively reflected upon Spanish politics and society. Alvaro d'Ors, a notable Spanish political philosopher, wrote that Wilhelmsen, an American from Detroit, was "the best interpreter of Spanish traditionalism, a body of political thought also known as Carlism, after King Charles V (Don Carlos)".〔Alvaro d'Ors, "Horismoi & Aphorismoi", in ''Saints, Sovereigns, and Scholars: Studies in Honor of Frederick D. Wilhelmsen'', eds., Robert A. Hererra, Fr. James L. Lehrberger, O.Cist., and Melvin Bradford, New York: Peter Lang, 1993.〕 Wilhelmsen enjoyed a lively friendship and correspondence with Marshall McLuhan, who spent time at the University of Dallas in the 1970s. ==Books== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederick Wilhelmsen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
