This is the book I have been waiting for. Danaher straightens out the maze and gives us a readable, compact, and comprehensive journey of twenty-five centuries of philosophical perspective from Heraclitus and Aristotle to Kuhn and Lyotard. Danaher has given us, as he says, “a history of the way the philosophical imagination has caused human consciousness to evolve in order to make sense of new data as it has appeared over our history.”
In addition, he is closely attuned to the Christian story. He says that “originally the Christian religion was not about knowing and believing certain doctrines or theology, but about a certain way to be.” Following his theme of truth, goodness, and beauty, he eloquently writes, “Jesus’ truth is not something to know but something to fall in love with because it is divinely beautiful and good, and not simply true.”
This is a small book filled with big understanding and insight for all who would like to find out why they look at life the way they do and where we are heading as we continue to evolve. (Paul Smith, author of Integral Christianity: The Spirit's Call to Evolve 2017-02-21)“...a critically important and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, community, and academic library Contemporary Philosophy collections.”

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Throughout modern history, the philosophical imagination has created the philosophical perspectives of modern materialism, rationalism, empiricism, phenomenalism, historicism, existentialism, pragmatism, hermeneutics, and feminism. Although these schools of thought have their origin in the imagination, we all too often believe these perspectives give us access to truth itself, rather than being ways to make sense of our experience. Truth as something to know will always be relative to the imagination and the perspectives it creates. However, another notion of truth as something to be has emerged over the history of philosophical thought from Socrates to the present that is not relative to the changing perspectives of truth as something to know. This book offers a narrative of how the modern mind evolved through the philosophical imaginations of certain individuals who provided new perspectives in order to make sense of emerging data and circumstances of which the inherited philosophical perspectives of the day were unable to explain. This book offers a narrative of how the modern mind evolved through the philosophical imaginations of certain individuals who provided new perspectives in order to make sense of emerging data and circumstances, which the inherited philosophical perspectives of the day were unable to give an account.
