Product Description
Review
"...not merely readable, but elegant. The essays in this book are learned, clear and suggestive. The result is a book that is a pleasure to read." - Paul Weithman, University of Notre Dame
"John Haldane's respected and respectful voice has much to contribute to contemporary philosophizing.. Throughout he displays his commitment to a historically informed Thomism engaged on a variety of contemporary philosophical problems." -- Joseph W. Koterski, Fordham University, American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly
Product Description
In Faithful Reason, the noted Catholic philosopher John Haldane explores various aspects of intellectual and practical life from a perspective inspired by Catholic thought and informed by his distinctive philosophical approach: 'Analytical Thomism'. Haldane's discussions of ethics, politics, education, art, social philosophy and other themes explain why Catholic thought is still relevant in today's world, and show how the legacy of Thomas Aquinas can benefit modern philosophy in its efforts to answer fundamental questions about humanity and its place within nature. Drawing on a Catholic philosophical tradition that is committed to concepts of the world's intrinsic intelligibility and the objectivity of truth, Faithful Reason's bold and insightful perspectives provide rich matter for debate, and food for further thought.

Philosophy
3 Nov 2006
Format:Paperback
John Haldane is a good writer. His book is a treat as he puts into perpective what is solid philosophy in this secular world of philosophies running wild. He is definetly a Thomist. I suspect most of us will have to read his book slowly.
