Paperback. Condición: New. An Yves R. Simon Reader is the first collection of texts from the entirety of the philosopher's work. French Catholic (and then American) political philosopher Yves R. Simon was a student of Jacques Maritain and one of the most important figures in the revival of Thomism. His work, however, is still little known in English, and there is as yet no English biography of him. In An Yves R. Simon Reader: The Philosopher's Calling, Michael D. Torre provides an erudite and helpful introduction to Simon's life and thought. The volume contains selected key texts from all of Simon's twenty books, half of which were published posthumously, dividing them into three sections. The first fundamentally defends the Aristotelian and Thomistic account of human knowing. The second begins with his groundbreaking discussion of human freedom and ends with his account of practical wisdom. The third then expands this account to cover the chief concerns of his social and political philosophy. The selections are long enough to be substantive and contain sustained and complete arguments. Each selection has its own foreword by an eminent commentator, familiar with Simon's work, who lays out the necessary context for the reader. An Yves R. Simon Reader includes sections from several of Simon's last and most important essays: on sensitive knowledge and on the analogous nature of "act." It includes a number of excerpts from his justly famous account and defense of democratic government. The hallmarks of his work-his careful conceptual analysis, his genius for finding undervalued examples, and his talent for creating expressions that revivified an outworn idea-are on display throughout. Indeed, as one of the book's contributors says, Simon touched nothing that he did not adorn. The result is a highly readable introduction to the thought of a key and underappreciated modern philosopher. Contributors: Michael D. Torre, Jude P. Dougherty, Raymond Dennehy, John C.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'In The Philosopher's Calling: An Yves R. Simon Reader, Torre sets up a dialog between Yves Simon and his most competent commentators, all well-known contemporary Thomists. Simon was a political theorist, a student of Jacques Maritain, and one of the founders of 20th century Neo-Thomism. In 1958, the American Catholic Philosophical Association awarded him its Aquinas Medal, which had earlier been given to Maritain and Etienne Gilson; later awardees included Josef Pieper, Bernard Lonergan, Mortimer Adler, Karol Wojtyla (later Pope John Paul II), Alasdair MacIntyre, Eleonore Stump, and Remi Brague. Simon was also a visiting professor at Notre Dame from 1938 to 1948, and his papers are housed here today. Simon's work, however, is still little-known in English, and there is as yet no English biography of him. Michael Torre, in addition to providing an erudite and helpful introduction to Simon's life and thought, has selected key texts from Simon's entire oeuvre, dividing them into three sections: on knowledge, on freedom, and on community. The selections are long enough to be substantive and contain sustained and complete arguments. Each selection also has its own proper foreword by an eminent scholar, familiar with Simon's work, who lays out the necessary context for the reader. The result is a highly readable introduction to the thought of a key and underappreciated modern philosopher'--.
