Such an approach, Hunter Brown proposes in Grace and Philosophy, does not do justice to the deep wonder and astonishment that the existence of the world elicits so widely among human beings. Such wonder has often been expressed in artistic and literary ways, including especially the language of grace which captures the striking gratuity of existence and the spontaneous, grateful response so often evoked by it. Since the modern period, however, Brown argues, there has been a questionable narrowing of philosophy which privileges formal reasoning and theory over an engagement of immediate experience. Detached expertise, impersonal scholarship, and preoccupation with data have swept aside simple wonderment about the extraordinary gratuity of existence, and the remarkable ways in which such wonderment has been expressed. Against the grain of such widespread developments Grace and Philosophy proposes a perspective that maintains a place of importance in philosophy for such wonder and for the many forms in which it has manifested itself."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Grace (Aesthetics) 650 0 $a Grace (Theology) 650 0 $a Life. 650 0 $a Wonder. 650 0 $a Philosophy. 650 6 $a Grace (Esthetique) 650 6 $a Grace (Theologie) 650 6 $a Vie. 650 6 $a Etonnement. 650 6 $a Philosophie. 650 7 $a Grace (Aesthetics) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00945756 650 7 $a Grace (Theology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00945759 650 7 $a Life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01198505 650 7 $a Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060777 650 7 $a Wonder. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01179176 776 08 $i Online version: $a Brown, Hunter. $t Grace and philosophy. $d Montreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2019 $z 9780773557635 $z 9780773557635 $w (OCoLC)1080938352 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317030336.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EE5C0DF6B05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
