“A Union of Sovereign States or a Centralized New Europe?”
From September 13–15, 2023, an international academic conference was held in Lublin under the title:
“Is the Federalization of the European Union a Threat to Poland and Europe?”
A clear point of reference for the international panel of scholars was the proposed changes to the EU treaties promoted by certain political groups in Europe—changes that would significantly impact the constitutional and operational framework of the European Union. The conference aimed to critically assess these proposals.
The event brought together scholars from six countries (Spain, Hungary, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Ukraine), who delivered 20 academic presentations. One of the conference’s key achievements was the in-depth academic reflection on numerous pressing and highly relevant issues that shape the EU’s current legal and institutional landscape.

This volume explores various significant aspects of the life and scholarly activity of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543), published on the 550th anniversary of his birth.
A major portion of the essays focuses on the academic and cultural environment of Ferrara during the 15th and 16th centuries, particularly the life and organization of the Este University, where Copernicus earned his doctorate in canon law in May 1503.
Other essays discuss the universities of Bologna and Padua, where the Polish astronomer also studied, gaining knowledge in medicine, natural sciences, and law.
Additional contributions examine the scientific significance of Copernicus’s work and its influence on modern and contemporary thought, with references to figures such as Giordano Bruno, Galileo, Kant, and the Encyclopedists.

Esiste una natura umana?
Is there human nature?
“Is There Human Nature?”
edited by: SERGE-THOMAS BONINO, o.p. i LUCA TUNINETTI
This volume brings together authors who explore the question of human nature in today’s world from a Thomistic perspective.
The essays address themes such as the rejection or distortion of human nature, and behaviors that betray or undermine it, while also proposing possible remedies.
Another group of contributions examines the tension within the human person between aspects of human nature and culture, or between the desire for God and the integrity of created nature.
Several authors reflect on the wounds of human nature, the direction of human development, and offer a definition of friendship in the context of either poverty or human fulfillment.
The collection concludes with an analysis of the sexual nature of the resurrected body according to the theology of Thomas Aquinas.
The volume is currently in editing.
