Looking at the Sun
Anna Castriota & Simon Smith
Every kind of exploration is
touched in some way by a philosophy of persons; touched and often vitally
enhanced. This collection sets out to mine this rich seam of influence,
bringing together authors keen to strike new developments and applications. Together,
they have put their philosophy of persons to work in fields as wide-ranging as
the moral and the metaphysical, the practical and the political, the cultural
and the cosmological. In doing so, they have drawn on and illustrated the depth
and breadth of modern Personalist thought, demonstrating its crucial relevance
to debates across the entire philosophical spectrum.
Whether they
are familiar with the Personalist tradition or no, readers from every corner of
the philosophical world will find much here to challenge and stimulate them.
Most importantly, they will find a new and badly needed philosophical
perspective.
