4.0 out of 5 stars
Fergus Kerr's book can aptly be described as brilliant., July 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Immortal Longings: Versions of Transcending Humanity (Paperback)
First, if you are new to the work of Fergus Kerr, procure a copy of Theology after Wittgenstein (lamentably out of print). It is by far Kerr's best work and can be considered one of the most important works written on the intersections of philosophy and theology (an absolute must for Wittgenstein fans-Kerr deciphers the enigmatic phrase "Theology as grammar!") In Immortal Longings, I was particularly interested in the chapter on Stanley Cavell and skepticism, which explores the metaphysical leanings of radical skepticism. Kerr approaches the important work of Cavell by listening for and drawing out the compelling theological underpinnings inherent in Cavell's ruminations on the skeptical crisis. A useful and trenchant work!
