Knowing God

'Knowing God is a substantial and highly significant philosophical work. It argues for the possibility of rational knowledge of the world largely from a Thomist perspective, but also drawing upon many modern insights in epistemology and the sociology of knowledge. This book is successful in both undermining postmodernist assumptions about the limitations of human knowledge, and in demonstrating the political origins and valence of those assumptions. It will interest a wide audience, not only philosophers but scholars in other fields and politically and religiously active people interested in the way the problem of knowledge affects politics and spirituality.' Colin M.Harper, University of Ulster, Ireland ’The author has provided a rich source of insights, and an even richer methodology for understanding future developments in human knowing. It is a methodology that escapes the traps of subjective idealism and postmodernist perspectivalism, while at the same time opening the human knower to the transcendent in a way that does not require the sacrifice of reason.’ The Review of Metaphysics
