Intimations of Transcendence

Philosophy

“Beautifully written and genuinely enlightening, Intimations of Transcendence enacts Drew Hyland’s vision of a philosophical life. Key themes of Hyland’s other writings, such as ‘responsive openness’ and ‘finite transcendence,’ are woven into his thought-provoking narratives about teaching, sports, parenthood, and friendship, among other topics. Written over some twenty years, this wonderfully engaging book arises out of Hyland’s life experiences and also offers explicit moments of self-questioning—including about the genre of philosophical autobiography itself.”
