Editorial Review
Human reason and Divine Revelation are two means by which truth is manifested to man; they cannot contradict one another; as a matter of fact, that which is evident to reason is never found in conflict with Revelation. -from the Introduction

Intended as a textbook for Catholic schools and seminaries, this compact guide to modern philosophy explored from a Catholic perspective covers:

• Syllogisms • Method in reasoning • Truth and falsity • Means of attaining certainty • Common sense • The nature of being • The origin of the world • The nature of the human soul

The physical and metaphysical essence of God This little book became one of the foundations of modern Catholic philosophy when it was first published in 1891, and it continues to hold dramatic sway over contemporary Christians, its pronouncements on morality fueling the arguments of religious activists in the moral debates dividing our society today.

Customer Review
Michael Tozer: Excellent!
This work of Charles Coppens, S.J, is well done and important. The text leads from dialectics to critical logic, to pscychology, to cosmology, and finally to natural theology. The style calls to mind that of the later Scholastics. Coppens presents a thesis and argues for it. Then he presents objections, and demonstrates their error. All told, this is a most excellent short introductory to the very important topic of philosophia perennis. Read it, and be richly blessed and well informed by the experience.
