About the Book

This book extensively explores the various influences and connections between Joseph Ratzinger and a number of leading philosophers; engaging with his work by means of Spanish, Portuguese, German, and English schools of thought through the contributions of a global body of scholars. Each chapter in this volume examines precisely how Ratzinger has dealt with the ideas of a particular philosopher, and how he has appropriated their ideas and thoughts. Moving from philosophers he has modified or critiqued – such as Kant, Comte or Wittgenstein – to those who have contributed to his philosophical theology, such as Guardini and Pieper, this truly international endeavour is an extraordinary journey into Ratzinger’s engagement with his competing and congenial schools of thought.

Review :
This book provides an overview of the philosophical sources that play a role in Ratzinger’s thought. It will be of special interest to those who want to locate his thought in relation to the history of ideas. Whereas previous studies have mainly focused on Ratzinger’s early engagement with Augustine and Bonaventure, this one completes the picture regarding his dialogue with philosophers. Of particular importance are the insights into Ratzinger’s dialogue with modern and contemporary thinkers, which can help his readers to avoid over-simplifications that would characterize him as simply hostile to Modernity. A much-needed resource, Joseph Ratzinger in Dialogue with the Philosophical Tradition helps us to concretize Ratzinger's commitment to the interdependence of faith and reason by mapping Ratzinger's lifelong philosophical engagement. By allowing its readers to follow a brilliant theologian's discerning appropriation of some of history's greatest philosophers, this book does a great service to lovers of Truth everywhere.
