Reason Fulfilled by Revelation: The 1930s Christian Philosophy Debates in France

Gregory B. Sadler

4.9/5 (33403 ratings)

Description:Early in the 1930s, a number of French Catholic and secular philosophers debated the question of the meaning, even the very possibility, of Christian philosophy. Positions articulated during these debates provided intellectual background to debates about nature and grace, and the interaction of philosophy and theology that informed theological debate before and during the Second Vatican Council. These questions continue to be raised in theological debate today.Gregory Sadler provides a selection from the most important, previously untranslated, documents from these debates. The complexity and depth of the debates -- the multiple sides and engagements, the ongoing development of interlocutor's positions -- comes out vividly through these timely translation. Four of Maurice Blondel's contributions are included, as are selections by Gabriel Marcel, Etienne Gilson, Fernand Van Steenberghen, among others. A detailed historical introduction provides much-needed background and context to these intertwined debates. A chronological bibliography of literature comprising and commenting on the debates and their issues is also included and will serve as an invaluable aid to further scholarship. But perhaps the best feature of the volume is Sadler's thematic outlines of seventeen different participants' positions and engagements, including but also going beyond the selections translated in the volume. This section provides a full and balanced treatment of the numerous participants, and sets the complex intellectual context for understanding the positions, issues, and main personalities of the debate. "Sadler provides non-Francophone readers with a more complete understanding of the first phase of an important philosophical debate that has been ongoing for more than seventy-five years. In order to fill in the gaps, he makes available previously untranslated documents, many of which make the greatest contribution to the debate."Peter Redpath, professor of philosophy, St. John's UniversityWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
