A collection of essays assimilating and applying philosopher David Walsh’s new “personalist language of persons.”
The noted professor David Walsh has called for a new "personalist language of persons," with vast implications in a variety of academic fields. Moving away from a language that refers to persons as ‘things’, and seeks to find connections and relations within all of us. In Personalism for the Twenty-First Century: Essays in Honor of David Walsh, a diverse group of scholars apply and extend Walsh's unique personalist approach to political theory, theology, and current events. It is a collection of refreshingly original essays for those interested in exploring the potential of a renewed personalist thought for addressing the crises of our afflicted age.
Arvustused
The distinguished authors whose essays honour David Walsh and his work have produced a close and sensitive reading of a complex and subtle political philosopher. Walshs understanding of the person and of political life forms the tacit and sometimes explicit focus of essays on a wide range of authors, from Böhme and Kierkegaard to Strauss and Voegelin, and of subjects, from the American mind and realism in international relations theory to the COVID-19 event. This volume is a model for what a Festschrift can be. -- Barry Cooper, University of Calgary
