Description 1 online resource (xii, 50 pages)
Contents American philosophy in the twentieth century -- Teaching philosophy in a Catholic university according to John Paul II
Summary A Twentieth-Century Collision explores intellectual culture in the United States during the twentieth century, a topic which cannot be understood without attention to the gradual narrowing of the scope of (academic) philosophy and its diminishing influence. This "narrowing" signifies a growing indifference to, and elimination of, genuinely metaphysical and prescriptively ethical questions, as well as the bifurcation of faith and reason
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 45-46) and index
