Book Description
Catholic thinkers contributed extensively to philosophy during the Nineteenth-Century. Besides pioneering the revivals of Augustinianism and Thomism, they also helped to initiate such philosophical movements as Romanticism, Traditionalism, Semi-Rationalism, Spiritualism, Ontologism, and Integralism. Unfortunately, the exceptional diversity and profoundness of this epoch of Catholic thought has all to often been underappreciated. This book consequently traces the work of sixteen leading Catholic philosophers of the Nineteenth-Century so as to make evident their seminal offerings to philosophy, namely: Chateaubriand, Schlegel, Bautain, Bonald, Hermes, Günther, Ravaisson-Mollien, Lequier, Rosmini-Serbati, Brownson, Kleutgen, Mercier, Gratry, Blondel, Newman, and Ollé-Lapprune.
