How Brief a Candle

Modern Man in the Insistent Dialectic

By Fr. John P. Cooney

Explores the Nietzsche-Toynbee alternatives of dominance by a "master race" versus return to theistic belief. The "insistent dialectic" is Man's perpetual interior struggle between moral restraint and freedom therefrom. The "brief candle" is the relatively "recent" re-emergence of theistic belief in society in general. Presents an incredible overview of Western thought plus a series of logic gates through which our minds can (and must) legitimately pass, toward the final correct view of man's position vis-a-vis God. A unique thesis supported by a com-manding view of philosophy and related sciences! 724pp, softcover.
