| Description: |
McInerny describes how a debate was initiated in the 30s on whether philosophy could have existed in the age of faith. Concerned with the moral aspect of "Christian philosophy", he argues for a Christian ethic that sees the distinction between philosophising and the content of philosophy. |
| Synopsis: |
"Long associated with the Roman Catholic tradition, natural law is seen here as a legitimate philosophical position that can be justified without recourse to Christian theology...Though the Christian ethics are a concern to many readers, McInerny is working from within the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition, arguing that, while distinct from theology, moral philosophy is best done in the context of faith. Recommended for philosophy and religion collections."--Library Journal |
