From 1968 until his death in 2003, Gerald Hanratty was professor of
philosophy at University College Dublin. In this volume dedicated
to his memory, Fran O'Rourke has assembled twenty-six essays
reflecting Hanratty's broad philosophical interests, dealing with
central questions of human existence and the ultimate meaning of
the universe. Whether engaged in historical investigations into
Gnosticism or the Enlightenment, Hanratty was concerned with
fundamental themes in the philosophy of religion and philosophical
anthropology. Human Destinies brings together a wide range of
approaches to these central questions. Included are historical
studies of classical thinkers of the ancient and medieval periods
(Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine, Aquinas) and studies of numerous
modern authors (among them, Kant, Husserl, Heidegger, Marcel,
Adorno, Derrida, Plantinga, Scruton, and many others).
