Description: |
In this work, the author defends the primary faith of humankind, that there is a real world which is more than a shadow of our desires and fancies and which can be discovered through right of reason. He quotes from such sources as W.B. Yeats, Edwin Muir and Lennon and McCartney. |
Synopsis: |
In God's World and the Great Awakening, Professor Clark's main concern is with the way we can 'turn aside' to the Truth from the normal delusions of self-concern. He restates a traditional, Neoplatonic metaphysics as the proper context for scientific and religious practice, and defends a serious Platonic realism against both scientism and anti-realism. Neither scientism, which identifies Truth with what can be revealed to the objectifying gaze, nor fashionable anti-realism, which equates Truth simply with what 'we' choose to take seriously, offer an adequate ground for our scientific or religious faith. The primary faith of humankind is that there is a real world which is more than an obsequious shadow of our desires and fancies, and this real world can be discovered through right reason. The defence of this faith requires a properly worked, Platonic metaphysic of just the kind discernible in Christian orthodoxy. The other two volumes are: Civil Peace and Sacred Order (1989) and A Parliament of Souls (1990). |
