Freud, Marx, and morals ([New studies in practical philosophy])

In a contemporary climate that tends to dismiss philosophy as an outmoded and increasingly useless discipline, philosophers have been forced to reconsider much of what they have formerly taken for granted. Redirecting Philosophy, Hugo Meynell's reassessment of the foundations and nature of knowledge, is a compelling response to this trend.This illuminating study surveys and analysis the views of the most influential contemporary thinkers in the English-speaking world (Wittgenstein, Strawson, Searle, Popper, Feyerabend, Kuhn, Rorty, Lonergan) and in continental philosophy (Husserl, Heidegger, Derrida, Foucault, Habermas). In setting those views against the background of classical philosophy, Meynell offers fresh perspectives on the basic problems that occupy philosophers today - problems such as scepticism, truth, experience, metaphysics, method, power, humane values, and the role of science.An insightful, up-to-date guide to philosophy and the theory of science, Meynell's book will be stimulating and valuable reading both in and out of the classroom.

Is Christianity True?

<p>Is Christianity intellectually defensible? Isn't secular morality enough? How could the special claims of Christianity be true in the face of the conflicting doctrines of other religions? Is there any solid basis for belief in life after death? If there is a God, what reasons are there for believing that Christianity is true, and so for being a Christian?<br>In a straightforward, clearly organized manner, Hugo A. Meynell investigates these and other questions in order to determine the truth of the central doctrines of Christianity, as held by Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant Christians. His discussion of the value of Christianity and the intellectual and moral grounds on which it stands or falls will be of great interest to Christians who wish to evaluate the grounds of their faith, to 'seekers' who want to know whether or not a convincing case can be made for Christianity, and to the non-religious and anti-religious who wish to refute Christian doctrine and so must attend to attempted defenses of it.<br>Meynell makes a persuasive case for the truth of central Christian doctrines - about God, the Trinity, the Incarnation, Atonement, Redemption, and life after death - and seeks to show that these are the fulfillment and consummation of the doctrines of the other great religions. Is Christianity True? will engage and enlighten both Christians and non-Christians, atheists and agnostics - in short, anyone interested in the question of how, if at all, a case can be made for traditional Christianity.</p>
