Volume 2 of "The Writings of Charles De Koninck"is part of the
three-volume series presenting the first English edition of the
collected works of the Catholic Thomist philosopher Charles De
Koninck (1906-1965). Ralph McInerny is the project editor and has
prepared the excellent translations.The second volume begins with
two works published in 1943: "Ego Sapientia: The Wisdom That Is
Mary," De Koninck's first study in Mariology, and "The Primacy of
the Common Good Against the Personalists" (with "The Principle of
the New Order"), which generated a strong critical reaction.
Included in this volume are two reviews of "The Primacy of the
Common Good," by Yves R. Simon and I. Thomas Eschmann, O.P., and De
Koninck's substantial response to Eschmann in his lengthy "In
Defense of St. Thomas." The volume concludes with a group of short
essays: "The Dialectic of Limits as Critique of Reason," "Notes on
Marxism," "This Is a Hard Saying," " Review of] "Between Heaven and
Earth,"" and "Concept, Process, and Reality."
"Volume Two of "The Writings of Charles De Koninck"reveals a
Thomist at home not merely in the deepest questions of natural
science and natural philosophy, but also in the highest reaches of
ethical and political philosophy, and in the most wonderful realm
of revealed theology. De Koninck combines a justified confidence in
his wisdom about the highest things with humility and gratitude for
the gift of that wisdom. The series edited by Dr. McInerny is
taking shape as a recovered treasure of a philosopher who labored
to receive, and to pass on, the gift of wisdom." --David
Quackenbush, Thomas Aquinas College
