Overview
There are lots of books about Catholic philosophers. But there's no good book that puts those philosophers, from Augustine to McIntyre, into the larger context of Western thought and explains how so many of the ideas, concepts, and beliefs we take for granted come from these Catholic philosophers. We hear it said often that people don't recognize the Judeo-Christian underpinnings of Western culture, and that's certainly true (and a related problem). But it's also true that the Catholic roots of our common beliefs are constantly underplayed or just ignored. In Why We Think What We Think, Dan Leroy addresses both issues. He has prepared here an accessible guide, showing you not just the surprising philosophical sources of many of our common beliefs, but also explaining how the gradual move away of those beliefs (starting a thousand years ago with the abandonment of Scholasticism) has gotten us to where we are now.
