Produktinformationen zu „The Other Calling (PDF)“
What is the true calling of the intellectual? In this provocative
new book, Andrew Shanks presents a distinctive fresh answer. The
Other Calling is a systematic riposte both to the elitism of
philosophy in the heritage of Plato, and to the typical
individualism of Plato's philosophic opponents. Here, instead,
intellectual integrity is identified with a form of priesthood.
* * Asserts that intellectuals are critical to bringing together
the common aspirations of a community
* * Offers a strikingly original approach to the moral and
political aspects of theology's relationship with philosophy,
exploring the perspectives of both disciplines
* Draws on the work and thought of Christians, Muslims, Hindus,
Buddhists, Agnostics, and Atheists
* Argues for a new, religiously multicultural "priesthood
of all thinkers", considering how once, all intellectuals
were as a matter of course also priests
* Published in the new and prestigious Illuminations
series
