| Summary: | We are confronted by the clash of contradictory ideologies and a crisis of universal knowledge. Two major causes of this crisis are the erosion of common sense and a relativistic view of doctrinal development. Fr. Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange foresaw today's crisis and wrote keenly in defense of the classical Thomistic synthesis. His critiques of modern philosophy and theology, we are now able to see, were prophetic. This first-time English translation of his Le sens commun: La philosophie de l'être et les formules dogmatiques addresss the relationship between common sense and both philosophy and faith, the proper defense for philosophical realism, the subordination and coordination of philosophical first principles, our natural capacity for knowing God's existence and, at length, the problem of dogmatic development. |
