Underworld is a story of men
and women together and apart, seen in deep, clear detail and in
stadium-sized panoramas, shadowed throughout by the overarching
conflict of the Cold War. It is a novel that accepts every challenge of
these extraordinary times -- Don DeLillo's greatest and most powerful
work of fiction.
Rather than a give the story of philosophy in 50 pages, Dr. McInerny
points students of philosophy in a direction such that their
philosophical studies might actually benefit their lives. The book is
thus a defense of perennial philosophy, and the classical view that
philosophy is something humans are "naturally" drawn to do, because it
completes our lives. Dr. McInerny engages the reader in argument, as he
defends this view against modern views of philosophy, and discusses the
nature of certainty, common sense, and the role of science. Its most
important value is the great faith in human intellect and reason,
implicit throughout the book. This book would make a good beginning for
college philosophy classes. A concluding bibliographical appendix by
Joshua Hochschild gives a brief overview of main philosophers
throughout history, and some good suggestions for reading.
