Cardinal Newman: His Theory Of Knowledge (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432561840)

Cardinal Newman: His Theory of Knowledge by John Francis Cronin is a book that delves into the philosophical and theological ideas of John Henry Newman, a prominent figure in the 19th century Catholic Church who was later canonized as a saint. The book explores Newman's theory of knowledge, which is based on the idea that knowledge is not simply a matter of acquiring information, but also involves the formation of beliefs and the development of a worldview.Cronin examines Newman's views on the relationship between faith and reason, arguing that Newman believed that faith was not opposed to reason, but rather complemented it. Newman believed that reason could lead to a knowledge of God, but that faith was necessary to fully understand and appreciate the divine.The book also explores Newman's ideas about education, particularly his belief in the importance of a liberal education that included a broad range of subjects and disciplines. Cronin argues that Newman's approach to education was based on the belief that knowledge was not just a means to an end, but was valuable in and of itself.Overall, Cardinal Newman: His Theory of Knowledge offers a comprehensive overview of Newman's philosophical and theological ideas, and provides valuable insights into his views on knowledge, faith, and education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
