This title was first published in 2003. This work examines how
Christian faith has historically impacted the notion of Nous or
divine mind in Western thought up to and including the present.
Christian faith is seen to have inaugurated an essential
transformation over time of the ancient notion of divine mind and
of thought in general. Beginning with an examination of Aristotle's
notion of essence, Plato's creation myth in the "Timaeus", and
Plotinus' "One", it is shown how faith in the hands of Augustine
and Aquinas fundamentally reshaped Western thought and made
possible in the modern period the radical subjectivity of Descartes
brought to perfection by Kant and Hegel. The strenuous
counter-thinking of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Levinas is closely
compared to its disarming alternative, the thinking of Jefferson,
Emerson and C.S. Peirce the father of American pragmatism.
