“Writings by the contemporary Roman Catholic philosopher on such topics as consistency, prophecy, and truth, truthfulness, and trust.” —The Chronicle of Higher Education “Wise, learned, and a delight to read. That cannot be said of many collections of philosophical essays. What Is Man? Truth, Love, and Immortality. The Goodness of God. Geach cannot be accused of refusing to take on ... Read morethe big questions, but he does so with a light touch that is possible only for those who take themselves lightly, knowing a Good infinitely greater.” —First Things “Rarely has this veteran reviewer opened a book that offers such pure pleasure as Peter Geach’s latest.” —New Oxford Review “In his customary beautiful prose these chapters, replete with detailed argument – as one would expect – gradually build up, or slowly reveal, what I hope it is not pretentious to call a whole world view: distinctively and unapologetically Christian, typically with more polemics against his co-religionists than against anyone else. They comprise a splendid distillation of the thought of a fine philosopher.” —Ars Disputandi “[E]njoyable, refreshing and... provoking....” —Studies in Christian Ethics “Truth and Hope is sweeping in its coverage of philosophical and theological issues, and sharply focused in respect to its main claims. Those who know Geach’s work will appreciate this book a great deal and will instantly recognize his style and wit. Those who do not already know his work will find this an accessible entry into his thinking and a refreshingly direct and provocative handling of key issues of philosophical theology.” —Modern Theology “Every one is impressive, both as an argument and as writing. Al of them make one ask for more; but what is remarkable is how much Geach suceeds in saying within so brief a compass.” —Alasdair MacIntyre, Philosophical Quarterly “In this delightful book, Peter Geach, in after-dinner talk mode, writes as a Roman Catholic but still manages to snip at old enemies and attribute more authority to truth than the dogma of a church.” —Ethics Show Less
