Doing Philosophy in the Philippines Volume Two gifts us a harvest of texts, which respond to a new intellectual condition and culture in the 1950s, and it offers a glimpse of the new method of inquiry that raised humanistic and secular thought within the discipline of Philosophy in the Philippines. We, therefore, find articles on the theory of evolution, dialectical materialism in Communism, post-World War II Existentialism, liberal education, scientific research, and praxis; all of which gained academic attention during that decade. These themes were carefully considered by the representative thinkers of the Catholic heritage, who focused specifically on its implications to education, morality, philosophy, theology, and the teachings of the Catholic Church. However, as these articles were published in the Pontifical University, the produce of the Thomasian philosophers never failed to reassert and defend the necessity of Catholic intellectual and moral virtues, as well as the consistency of Aristotelian and Thomistic thought in their discussions and analyses.
