Description
Book SynopsisA collection of essays by the late Boston College philosopher Oliva Blanchette that maintains the absolute necessity of metaphysics as a prerequisite for examining any particular ‘realm of being’ in all areas of human inquiry, from the particular sciences to historical cultures and religions.
Trade ReviewWhile this work can be read as a collection of essays, each of which is relatvely free standing and can be read on its own, together they form a constellation of explorations and reflections whose character reveals a recurrent theme, or set of themes, as well as a particular orientation in thinking. A significant contribution...a worthy addition to the significant body of work Blanchette has already produced from the same sources of inspiration."" - William Desmond, author of
