A Worldview of Everything

Philosophy

“Cronin has carefully reconstructed and developed further the cognitional theory of Lonergan into a well-structured and profoundly readable volume not only for seasoned scholars of Lonergan but also for anyone ready to follow his amazing philosophical journey pursuing questions about thinking, knowing, science, life, the universe, and ultimately, God.”

Dialectic of Enlightenment

Philosophy

“Klapwijk presents a rich account of the various ways in which critical theorists--specifically Marcuse, Horkheimer, Adorno, and Habermas--reconstructed the legacy of the enlightenment for their respective social theories. He gives a convincing account of how key the enlightenment was for each, but also how ambivalent each author was towards its legacy. Particularly helpful are Klapwijk's own critical assessments of the problems of constructing social theory upon such pre-theoretical grounds and his offer of a radicalized view of Adorno's messianism as an alternative.”
