Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book goes beyond a simple study of Newman's thought and work and seeks to apply his deductions to modern value conflicts. Although it will be of particular relevance to academic readers with some prior knowledge of Newman's works, it may also be of wider interest to students of history, philosophy, theology and spirituality. More generally, its unusual focus on Newman's epistemology and philosophical deductions, and how these relate to present-day dilemmas, should also attract interest from his many non-academic followers and devotees. 'The main value of this work lies in its original approach to Newman from a Polish Personalist perspective, and this (rather than as another amorphous study of Newman) could give it novelty value and attract real interest from Newman scholars and experts.' -Jonathan Luxmoore, Oxford-based writer and Church historian 'How do we evaluate a human life, our own life Beginning with John Henry Newman's defence of his life, Jan Klos in this volume sensitively explores from a personalist perspective how all our lives involve struggle with commitment, responsibility, and truth. In its emphasis on the narrative structure of human lives, the book makes a valuable contribution not just to the philosophy of personalism but to social theory overall.' -Douglas Porpora, Professor of Sociology, Drexel University.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Both Newman and Stein present a mature response to the challenges of their eras. In like manner they reflect splendid examples of genuine persons in the grip of disrupting cultural trends. They show the primacy of individual conscience and the importance of individual integrity even at the expense of social ostracism and extermination. Newman and Stein are outstanding witnesses of individual freedom vis-à-vis social and political systems. This book uniquely combines the biographies of these two figures in order to show that no matter what kind of circumstances we may live in, loyalty to one's own self is the most significant part of life. 'In a penetrating account of Newman and Edith Stein, Jan Klos explores the spirituality of two saints, each of them 'speaking to our time'. By explorations of their life and work, the author provides a wealth of insights for the twenty-first century. At once sensitive and learned, Jan Klos's Heart Speaks unto Heart is a volume to be treasured and read again.' - Prof. Andrew Breeze, Universidad de Navarra, Spain 'In this profound and stimulating study, Klos invites the reader to think, not so much about Newman and Stein as with them, and thus join them in their unique but mutually illuminating efforts to make sense of their faith, their times (still very much our times), themselves, and, ultimately, the mystery of the truth in whose grasp they both lived and died. In translating Newman's work, Stein discovered herself in communion with him. Heart Speaks unto Heart beautifully explores this communion, and in doing so shows us why it matters.' - Prof. Paul Wojda, University of St. Thomas, U.S.A.…
