God, Philosophy, Universities by Alasdair Macintyre
Offers the reader a perceptive account of the role of religion in modern culture and society as a whole. This book argues that Catholic philosophy is best understood historically, as a continuing conversation through the centuries, in which we turn and return to the most important voices from our past.
"A joy..topical, energetic and learned." Church Times, 4th December, 2009.
"In this short book MacIntyre..the most distinguished Catholic philosopher in the English-speaking world...makes a powerful case for a new sense of unity and purpose in the quest for truth in universities." The Catholic Herald, March 2010. -- Lucy Beckett
Mentioned in an article by John Cornwell, Financial Times, April 2010.
'The discussions and insights to be found in God, Philosophy, Universities are wonderfully fertile. Above all, like the best philosophy, this challenging book manages to reach out well beyond the seminar room.' -- Times Literary Supplement
