This review is from: Stoic, Christian, and Humanist (Essay index reprint series) (Hardcover)
Murray makes this philosophical inquiry a pleasant and insightful experience for the reader. His clear expression and precise use of language accounts for this. He does not take up countless pages with explanation but manages to identify clearly, from the beginning of his investigation, the points at issue. This book arises out of "special reading and study" and the "by-products of a long life in which I have had almost constantly in the back of my mind, as a half-conscious preoccupation" (p.7). This little book is an excellent resource to the average serious and somewhat philosophical thinker who desires something more than sketchy platitudes in developing a deeper understanding of the relationship among Stoic, Christian and Humanist ways of thinking. I found the book challenged the suppositions and presuppositions of my own convictions without being negatively critical in its approach. The book discusses issues of importance to mankind, Murray tells us, and he conducts his investigation of these issues with fresh philosophical insight. This is one philosophical book that clarifies more than confuses.
