The Recovery Of Purpose cailliet, emile
harper & bros, 1959 1959 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Cover shows light shelf wear. Could not find any marks except for library stamp. Spine straight and strong. ; Ex-Library; 192 pages; Against a mood of futility, typical of much thinking today, Emile Caillet mounts a massive assault that states in a new and compelling way the case for ultimate and guiding purpose supported by the best biblical insights. Between the philosophy of despair that pervades much current literature and the iron determinism of the new "Scientism." the idea of purpose has been all but pushed off the scene, he declares. Yet the whole tendency of man's philosophy, his greatest literature, and his Judaeo-Christian culture point toward purpose. It is the aim of the author and of this book to again raise the standard of divine purpose "to help men of good will get their bearings." Ranging widely over dramatic literature from Sophocles through Dante to O'Neill, in philosophy from Aristotle through Locke to Stace, in science from Plato through Descartes to Einstein and Russell, Dr. Cailliet build an impressive structure. That neither the insight of the poets, the constructs of philosophy, nor the claims of modern science finally deny purpose, he makes abundantly clear. Stated in terms of "Biblical-prophetic" evangelism, his re-establishment of divine purpose at the center of things slights none of the tough problems of today's mechanized world and human frustrations, and commands respect for its sturdy over-all view.
