Description: Here is a paperbound copy of Josef Pieper's HOPE AND HISTORY: FIVE SALZBURG LECTURES, published by Ignatius Press. The famous and popular Thomistic philosopher Joseph Pieper addresses the topic of hope from the perspective of human history and asks the "Is man's hope such that it can find any fulfillment in the field of human history?" "Is man's human history such that it can give us any grounds not to despair?" Pieper looks at the movement of history, the idea of progress, man's hope for a better future, and he counters the temptation to despair with a Christian philosophy of hope based on faith in divine providence and the compatibility of faith and reason. Josef Pieper, perhaps the most popular Thomist philosopher of the twentieth century, was schooled in the Greek classics and the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. He also studied philosophy, law, and sociology, and he was a professor at the University of Munster, West Germany. His numerous books have been widely praised by both the secular and religious press. This volume may be of interest to students of the Summa theologiae, Dominican History Order of Preachers, Doctors of the Church, St. Thomas, Thomism Scholasticism, metaphysics, Latin Philosophy, Summa Theologica / Theologiae, Catholic theology.
