This book expounds and analyses notions of transcendence, creation and
incarnation reflectively and personally, combining both philosophical
and religious insights. Preferring tender-minded approaches to
reductively materialistic ones, it shows some ways in which reductive
approaches to human affairs can distort the appreication of our lives
and activities. In the book’s first half it examines a number of
aspects of human life and experience in the thought of Darwin, Ruskin,
and Scruton with a view to exploring the extent to which there could
be intimations of transcendence. The second half is then devoted to
outlining an account of divine creation and incarnation, deriving
initially, though not uncritically, from the thought of Simone Weil.
The text concludes by examining the extent to which grace is needed to
engage in religious practice and belief. Taking in art, literature,
music and classical Greek writings, this is a multifaceted thesis on
transcendence. It will, therefore, will be of keen interest to any
scholar of Philosophy of Religion, Theology, Aesthetics and
Metaphysics.
