Curious Questions by Henry Athanasius Brann. Curious Questions is a 19th-century Catholic philosophical treatise that argues for the utility of philosophy and its intimate relationship with theology. Brann surveys three rival approaches to philosophy—dialectical, psychological, and ontological—and defends a synthesis in which philosophy studies God, the world, and the human person through three interrelated orders: ontology (being), psychology (the soul and its faculties), and nomology (the laws of thought). The work emphasizes that philosophy serves religion as the handmaid of faith, and shows how reason and revelation illuminate each other. Brann discusses topics such as the nature of science, the meaning of ideas, certitude, and the universals, and critiques figures from Kant and Rosmini to Gioberti. He argues that truth rests on evidence, that the universal concepts have objective reality, and that modern paganism endangers social order by separating the temporal from the spiritual. The book provides a dense, polemical defense of Christian metaphysics and an account of how sound philosophy can strengthen faith.
