This is the first Socratic dialogue I have read so I can't compare it to others and how they are normally meant to be. I will say though that while the content and layout was interesting I felt the argument a bit one sided. It didn't appear to me be three men arguing from three points of view but one man arguing one point of view while briefly acknowledging but almost mocking the other two views. There is a lot of mention on finding the undeniable truth but that seems a tall order when it comes to anything that isn't scientifically proven and relies mostly on faith. I don't deny the author;s point of view or attempt to say he is wrong I just simply don't feel that this was very well portrayed as an argument among one more than one person. As I said I found it all very interesting but it was really just a bit black-and-white for my taste. I don't feel that there is a right or wrong, a truth or lie in argument like this and it seems to me that was the only point of the dialogue. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
On November 22, 1963, three great men died within a few hours of each other: C. S. Lewis, John F. Kennedy and Aldous Huxley. All three believed, in different ways, that death is not the end of human life. Suppose they were right, and suppose they met after death. How might the conversation go? Peter Kreeft imagines their discussion as a part of The Great Conversation that has been going on for centuries. Does human life have meaning? Is it possible to know about life after death? What if one could prove that Jesus was God? With Kennedy taking the role of a modern humanist, Lewis representing Christian theism and Huxley advocating Eastern pantheism, the dialogue is lively and informative. This new edition of this classic work includes a postscript in which Kreeft describes why and how he wrote what has remained a standard of apologetic literature for a generation. He also adds an outline and index to the book as well as a never-before-published dialog in which he imagines "A World Without an Easter." Now more than ever this book offers an animated interaction that involves not only good thinking but good drama. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
