"…Dadosky’s effort to work out a philosophy of beauty on the basis of Lonergan’s thought, to enter into dialogue with significant figures, and to re-establish the transcendental status of beauty in a contemporary context amounts to an original and momentous achievement."
Paul St. Amour
American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly
"Within the boundaries of the wider Lonergan project, Dadosky’s argument is nuanced, differentiated, and, so far as I can discern, beyond reproach…students of theological aesthetics in particular will profit from the expositions and arguments he offers therein. The Eclipse and Recovery of Beauty is harmonious, well-integrated, and very clear. That is, in the specific terms Dadosky designates, it is a beautiful piece of work."
Reid B. Locklin
Toronto Journal of Theology
"John Dadosky has written a very good book on an overlooked, but important, topic… Using the tools of Lonergan’s generalized empirical method, Dadosky has made the case for the objectivity of aesthetic judgments and by extension for the recovery of beauty as a transcendental… The result is a beautifully written book that’s hints at much more to come from this author."
