About This Item
Pantheon, 1948-01-01. Hardcover. Very Good. 0x0x0. [From the library of noted scholar Richard A. Macksey.] Hardcover and dust jacket. Tears to jacket with loss. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Pages unmarked. 148 pages, 21 cm. <br> "The greatest living Catholic philosopher sums up in this book his meditation and teaching of thirty years. As his point of departure he takes the atheistic existentialism of his fellow countryman, Sartre; in contrast to that philosophy of despair he outlines with vigorous logic and describes with burning eloquence his concept of true existentialism which is a Christian philosophy of the intellect, an existential realism." <br> "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University
