Of the Delphic maxims, perhaps the most famous is “Know thyself.” In this deeply personal work, Étienne Gilson tasks himself with fulfilling that Delphic directive, recounting the uncertainties and missteps in his lifelong pursuit of the truth, his devoted conviction to the sure and certain existence of God, and his abiding concern that others might also discover the wisdom he has come to know and love. Formed in the Catholic faith and trained in the philosophical science at the University of Paris, Gilson played a critical role in engaging the modern age with the perspicacious legacy of Thomas Aquinas. The Philosopher and Theology charts the course of that storied career.An engrossing autobiography and illuminating historical study, The Philosopher and Theology provides abundant insights into the ebb and flow of twentieth-century Thomist thought in addition to its compelling vision of reflective and rigorous Catholic scholarship.
