Hans Urs Von Balthasar and the Dramatic Structure of Truth: A Philosophical Investigation

4.4/5 ( ratings)

Hans Urs von Balthasar was one of the most prolific and influential theologians of the twentieth century. This book, the first English-language study of Balthasar, seeks to show the fruitfulness of his thought by drawing out its philosophical implications for the question of truth.

D. C. Schindler argues that a dramatic approach, shaping both the form and content of philosophy, enables a new conception of being, of human consciousness, and of their coming together to satisfy both traditional concerns about unity and postmodern calls for difference-while avoiding the pitfalls of a one-sided emphasis on either.
