In like manner they reflect splendid examples of genuine persons in the grip of disrupting cultural trends. They show the primacy of individual conscience and the importance of individual integrity even at the expense of social ostracism and extermination. Newman and Stein are outstanding witnesses of individual freedom vis-à-vis social and political systems. This book uniquely combines the biographies of these two figures in order to show that no matter what kind of circumstances we may live in, loyalty to one’s own self is the most significant part of life.     \"In a penetrating account of Newman and Edith Stein, Jan Kłos explores the spirituality of two saints, each of them 'speaking to our time'. By explorations of their life and work, the author provides a wealth of insights for the twenty-first century. At once sensitive and learned, Jan Kłos's Heart Speaks unto Heart is a volume to be treasured and read again.\" - Prof. Andrew Breeze, Universidad de Navarra, Spain  \"In this profound and stimulating study, Kłos invites the reader to think, not so much about Newman and Stein as with them, and thus join them in their unique but mutually illuminating efforts to make sense of their faith, their times (still very much our times), themselves, and, ultimately, the mystery of the truth in whose grasp they both lived and died. In translating Newman’s work, Stein discovered herself in communion with him. Heart Speaks unto Heart beautifully explores this communion, and in doing so shows us why it matters.\" - Prof. Paul Wojda, University of St. Thomas, U.S.A.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  Acknowledgements    1 A Gloss to the Biographies   1 The Modern Point of Departure   2 The Cultural and Family Contexts—the Ethos   3 Newman—the Philosopher   4 The Decision   5 Edith Stein and Her Story   6 Conversion and Its Personal Sense   7 Secretum Meum Mihi    2 The Grammar of Knowledge in the Concrete   1 Notional versus Real Assent   2 Notional Assent   3 Real Assent   4 Imagination and Images versus the Response of the Person   5 Realization   6 Theoretical Knowledge and Action   7 Examples as the Sources of Proper Conduct   8 The Power of the Particular   9 Assent versus Inference   10 Simple Assents versus Complex Assents   11 The Lazarus Case   12 Certitude—the Goal of Personal Effort   13 The Power of Simple Assent as Confronted with Certitude   14 The Conditions of Certitude—Indefectibility versus Infallibility   15 Religion as a System   16 Probability—the Guide of Life   17 Formal Inference   18 Units before Universals   19 Informal Inference   20 Personal Knowledge versus Inference   21 Faith versus Intuition   22 The Illative Sense—Practical Wisdom   23 The Sanction, Nature, and Range of the Illative Sense, or the Power of Integration   24 Intuition versus Reasoning   25 Faith and Reason   26 The Explicit versus the Implicit and Being Possessed   27 Faith Above, Not against, Reason   28 The Infinite Abyss of Existence   29 The Real versus Unreal Words   30 Real Adherence (Not Notional), Personal Adherence to the Word of God   31 The Voice of Conscience   32 Habit—the Way of Action   3 The Cross as a Source of Knowledge and the Language of the Heart   1 Going Inside—Meeting God   2 Newman and Stein—Mystics   3 Selfhood—the Essence of Originality   4 The Thoughts of the Heart   5 Interior Perception   6 The Implicit and the Logic of the Heart   7 True Personality Comes from the Depths   8 Primeval Life Accessible Yet Not Comprehensible    4 The Interior—the Source of the Truth and Individuality of the Person   1 Individuality versus the Transcendental Area   2 Communicability versus Non-communicability   3 The Human Being   4 The Life-Emanating I   5 The Personal Imprint of the I   6 The Source of the Person’s Dignity   7 Others—Empathy   8 The Person and Soul Life    Conclusion    Bibliography  Index of Persons","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210820411735,"sku":"9789004460195","price":96.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/heart-speaks-unto-heart-on-the-kinship-of-spirit-and-thought-john-henry-newman-and-edith-stein-9789004460195","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
