The Absolute Beneath the Relative and Other Essays cover

The exploitation of Einstein's relativity theory on behalf of the relativization of all norms and values is the most conspicuous aspect of a culturally disastrous trend, which, in its various ramifications, is the critical target of this book. Students of history, psychology, sociology and metaphysics will find much food for thought and rich material in this latest of the author's long-standing efforts aimed at the demythologization of science. This book presents fourteen not readily available essays of the winner of the Templeton Prize for 1987. Co-published with the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.

Fr. Jaki's latest and masterful collection of essays is a fascinating defense of absoluteness in nature, philosophy, and theology, and is a 'must' for all scientists, philosophers, and theologians as well as for other educated laypeople. * Reflections *
...a wide-ranging and penetrating book that deserves an extensive readership. -- Dr. P.E. Hodgson, University of Oxford * Reflections *
Fr. Jaki has given us a marvelous synthesis of science, philosophy, theology, and current events, a tour de force in clear prose that should delight the intelligent, impress the intelligentsia, and challenge the intellectual. * Homiletic & Pastoral Review *
