Retracing Reality by Marie-Dominique Philippe

This book is a response to Socrates' invitation to 'know thyself'. The journey moves from immediate experience, to the discovery of First Being with the human person as the central figure of inquiry, in order to discover the purpose of human life. This is an important work in the renewal of metaphysics called for by Pope John Paul II in Fides et Ratio (1998).A philosophical inquiry into reality in all its dimensions.
'Fr Philippe not only reveals the depth and persuasiveness of the Thomist "vision", but also extends the tradition of Thomist thought by creatively transforming it' Aidan Nichols OP
Marie-Dominique Philippe, formerly Professor of Philosophy, University of Fribourg, is founder of the worldwide Community of St John.
