The Perfection of Freedom

Philosophy

“David Schindler has written a profound book on freedom. Through his penetrating analysis of Schiller, Schelling, and Hegel, he offers us nothing less than an alternative to the modern notion of freedom as freedom of choice . . . The Perfection of Freedom wears its erudition lightly in a compelling display of philosophical thinking and re-visioning that will take us beyond modernity by going through it.”

The Sophiology of Death

Theology

“Perhaps no twentieth-century theologian is quite as much in the ascent as Sergei Bulgakov. Not only does he represent a fundamental option for Eastern Orthodox theology, but he represents more broadly a model for a form of theological speculation, disciplined by the theological tradition, marked by a deep reading of Scripture, and with due recognition of the human fragility and failure, a theology grounded in the resurrection of Christ who will be all in all. This new volume of essays, beautifully translated by Roberto De La Noval, will only add to Bulgakov's high reputation. It will also remind readers that eschatology is not simply a theme in Bulgakov's writings, but at once its central energy and milieu. The collection shows once again the marvelous conjunction of theological imagination and fidelity to the tradition in the thought of Bulgakov, while sounding an indelible note of existential pathos without ever calling attention to the I.”

“This book of poems . . . is about the pathways of the profane to the sacred, about how grace destroys and redeems nature, about how the susurration of transcendence in our very bodily lives cannot be satisfied with merely spiritual meaning. . . . Gilson’s very disciplined philosophical and theological reflections never cease to surprise and often give way to an incandescent poetics. . . . For Gilson, philosophy/theology and poetry are but two different sides of ecstatic register of speech.”
