Description
Book SynopsisTreats central topics about our knowledge of being, the being of the natural world, and, via the latter, being as such. This book considers the special character and implications of our human, personal being - in particular, our intellect, free choice, and reason-conditioned sociality. It also treats God as Source and End.
Trade ReviewCarlson offers what is hard, if not impossible, to find among contemporary writings in Catholic philosophy: the attempt to reconcile faith and reason and show the importance of faith and theology for the completion of philosophy. This is an ideal book for colleges and universities wishing to promote a return to the Catholic intellectual tradition. - Raymond Dennehy, University of San Francisco ""This book makes intelligible perennial Thomistic philosophy as it is understood today enriched by dialogue with modern insights. It is an accurate, cogent presentation of what is best in contemporary Thomism."" - Steven C. Snyder, Christendom College
