Since Socrates, the effort to understand ourselves precisely as
human has been the central occupation of Western thought. In this
profound treatise Robert Jenson shows that all philosophical
attempts to accurately think the self are doomed to failure and
that the category "human" is itself "unthinkable without reference
to God.
As Jenson says at the outset of his book, the problem of
anthropology is that the very concepts we need to use when we talk
about ourselves as human resist being thought. "On Thinking the
Human explains why this is so. Under chapter titles that reflect
the problem's different facets -- "Thinking Death," "Thinking
Consciousness," "Thinking Freedom," "Thinking Reality," "Thinking
Wickedness," and "Thinking Love" -- Jenson limns the difficulty
inherent in each concept and then shows how the unthinkable becomes
thinkable in light of the triune God of Scripture.
Carefully constructed and skillfully worded, "On Thinking the
Human will be valued by anyone reflecting deeply on what it means
to be human.
