Focusing on the history of ideas, this book explores important
questions concerning knowledge in relation to philosophy, science,
ethics and Christian faith. Kirk contributes to the current debate
about the intellectual basis and integrity of Western culture,
exploring controversial issues concerning the notions of modernity
and post-modernity. Repositioning the Christian faith as a valid
dialogue partner with contemporary secular movements in philosophy
and ethics, Kirk seeks to show that in 'post-Christian' Europe the
Christian faith still possesses intellectual resources worthy to be
reckoned with. This book's principal argument is that contemporary
Western society faces a cultural crisis. It explores what appears
to be an historical enigma, namely the question of why Western
intellectual endeavours in philosophy and science seem to have
abandoned the search for a source of knowledge able to draw
together disparate pieces of information provided by different
disciplines. Kirk draws conclusions, particularly in the area of
ethical decision-making, from this apparent failure and invites
readers to consider Christian theism afresh as a means for the
renewal of culture and society.
