He makes a point of calling the works in this collection \"reflections,\" not systematic treatments. But in truth they \"reflect\" the author's deep and internally consistent theological, philosophical, and--unusual among religious writers--literary culture. His books on Dante and Rilke, along with his frequent references to Augustine, Pascal, Dostoyevsky, Heidegger, and even Nietzsche, present an eclectic but deep and coherent vision of the Church and the world. Varying approaches to fundamental questions, of course, have their advantages and disadvantages. But as these texts make abundantly clear, Guardini had the kind of mind--the living virtue, as he puts it in his book on the virtues, included here--that can move flexibly but faithfully through whatever questions it encounters. Which is why these books are less like academic treatises and more like living dialogues with a wise and experienced and learned friend.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 688\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.81 x 8.19 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 20, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51772448407840,"sku":"9781684514496","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/9acb773f805c72da0524f96419297c27.webp?v=1780405892","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-world-and-the-person-and-other-writings-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
