<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988) was one of the most prolific and influential theologians of the twentieth century. This book, the first English-language study of Balthasar, seeks to show the fruitfulness of his thought by drawing out its philosophical implications for the question of truth. <p/>D. C. Schindler argues that a dramatic approach, shaping both the form and content of philosophy, enables a new conception of being, of human consciousness, and of their coming together to satisfy both traditional concerns about unity and postmodern calls for difference-while avoiding the pitfalls of a one-sided emphasis on either.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Schindler develops his thought in dialogue with philosophical questions raised by other thinkers, such as Kant, Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger, and some 20th-century Thomists.-- "--Theology Digest"<br><br>Scholars interested in Balthasar cannot ignore Schindler's latest volume, for no other English-language study of Balthasar has reached its depth, range, and perspicacity.-- "--The Review of Metaphysics"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br><strong>D.
