The Idea of a University [is an] eloquent defense of a liberal education which is perhaps the most timeless of all [Newman?s] books and certainly the one most intellectually accessible to readers of every religious faith and of none. . . . [O]nly one who has read The Idea of a University in its entirety, especially the nine discourses, can hope to understand why its reputation is so high: why the first reading of this book has been called an ?epoch? in the life of a college man; why Walter Pater thought it ?the perfect handling of a theory?; why the historian G. M. Young has ranked it with Aristotle?s Ethics among the most valuable of all works on the aim of Education; or why Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch told his students at Cambridge that ?of all the books written in these hundred years there is perhaps none you can more profitably thumb and ponder.?? ?from the introduction by Martin J. SvaglicJohn Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890) was an Anglican priest, poet and theologian and later a Catholic cardinal, who was an important and controversial figure in the religious history of England in the 19th century.47.95147.9547.95John Henry Cardinal NewmanA7E0D811-B044-449B-A737-9D5003AFD3F7978026801177297802680117790007115, 160.14TCHardcoverCouverture rigideB60321294engUniversity of Notre Dame PressUniversity of Notre Dame Press3681.19.16.16401.19.16.1111996-04-15T04:00:00ZIntegral Humanism, Freedom In The Modern World, And A Letter On Independence, Revised EditionP10105PhilosophyWESPHIL01APhilosophyHIS013000, PHI019000, PHI022000Political PhilosophyBooks > Philosophy > Political Philosophyhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/026801177X. jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=enhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/026801177X. jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=frhttps://www. indigo. ca/en-ca/integral-humanism-freedom-in-the-modern-world-and-a-letter-on-independence-revised-edition/9780268011772.htmlhttps://www. indigo. ca/fr-ca/integral-humanism-freedom-in-the-modern-world-and-a-letter-on-independence-revised-edition/9780268011772.htmlThe three books in this volume were written in France in the early 1930's. Maritain accepts the responsibility of a Christian philosopher by addressing the problems of civil and world war. He discusses issues such as the relationship between freedom and religion, the opposition of democracy to any form of totalitarianism, the relationship between spirituality and temporality, and how Christian civilization in opposition to communism and capitalism. Jacques Maritain (1882?1973) was one of the twentieth century's greatest Christian philosophers. He is the author of, among other books, The Degrees of Knowledge (Notre Dame Press, 1995), Untrammeled Approaches (Notre Dame Press, 1996), and Integral Humanism, Freedom in the Modern World, and A Letter on Independence (Notre Dame Press, 1996).168.951168.95168.95Jacques MaritainFB674DCD-9429-4276-999E-B3B1B9781B69978026801324097802680132490007115, 47.09TPPaperbackCouverture soupleB67496674engUniversity of Notre Dame PressUniversity of Notre Dame Press2880.64963500.6496111997-12-01T05:00:00ZThe Longing For HomeP10105PhilosophyWESPHIL01APhilosophyFAM046000, PHI009000, PHI016000Modern PhilosophyBooks > Philosophy > History > Modern Philosophyhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0268013241.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=enhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0268013241.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=frhttps://www. indigo. ca/en-ca/the-longing-for-home/9780268013240.htmlhttps://www. indigo. ca/fr-ca/the-longing-for-home/9780268013240.htmlThe authors of The Longing for Home explore the notion that home is both a place and a conditon of the spirit. While a person may have a place that is home, he or she may also be nostalgic for an inner spiritual home which beckons even as it lies beyond the human grasp. Essays by Elie Wiesel, Werner Gundersheimer, and Frederick Buechner complete part one. Part two focuses on philosophical explorations of the meaning of home.
