Summary: This book reports on the personal adventure of one of our most distinguished thinkers, an adventure that mirrors certain developments in modern, postmodern, ancient, and medieval philosophy. The argument moves from the perspective of a transcendental Ego through an analysis of speaking toward a plea for fully engaged dialogue and serious involvement in religious contemplation. Having enjoyed the guidance of exemplary thinkers from Plato and Aristotle to Levinas and Ricoeur, the author proposes some turns that philosophy could make in order to become more real, more conversational, and more contemplative. GThinking is a work of genuine and original scholarship that responds to the tradition of philosophical thinking with a critique of its language, style, focus, and scope.GGCatriona Hanley, Loyola College.
