In view of the double vocative that characterizes the relation of Creator to creature, this book offers critiques of modern and postmodern philosophy for the ways in which they have separated philosophy, theology, and spirituality.

This collection examines the complicated relationship of God to Being and the meaning of Revelation, as well as highlighting the context and the role of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola. Discussions include the Catholic Principle and its relevance in contemporary times, and Christian epic visionaries such as Dante, Milton, Blake, and Joyce, providing scholars a forum to debate their theological identity and its meaning for future studies. This volume contributes a unique engagement from many perspectives with the Catholic intellectual tradition in its philosophical, theological, spiritual, literary, and artistic dimensions.

Offers a unique set of perspectives on the close connection between continental philosophy and the Catholic legacy

Well conceived and well executed, this volume will be required reading for anyone concerned about the history of CPR or invested in contributing to its future. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. * CHOICE *
Continental Philosophy has led thinkers within the Catholic intellectual tradition to move beyond the confines of ontotheological thinking. Like a child, servant, slave, or someone who hears, being called by the Spirit, it has been engaged in enlarging its own horizons. Bearing witness to God from otherness and difference, and starting off from decentred, relational anthropologies, these endeavours have prompted inspiring dialogues for both philosophers and theologians alike! * Lieven Boeve, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium *
Well organized ... interesting collection. * Theology *
