Could it be that we have lost touch with some basic human realities
in our day of high-tech efficiency, frenetic competition, and
ceaseless consumption? Have we turned from the moral, the
spiritual, and even the physical realities that make our lives
meaningful? These are metaphysical questions -questions about the
nature of reality- but they are not abstract questions. These are
very down to earth questions that concern power and the collective
frameworks of belief and action governing our daily lives. This
book is an introduction to the history, theory, and application of
Christian metaphysics. Yet this book is not just an introduction,
it is also a passionately argued call for a profound change in the
contemporary Christian mind. Paul Tyson argues that as Western
culture's Christian Platonist understanding of reality was replaced
by modern pragmatic realism, we turned not just from one outlook on
reality to another, but away from reality itself. This book seeks
to show that if we can recover this ancient Christian outlook on
reality, reframed for our day, then we will be able to recover a
way of life that is in harmony with human and divine truth.
