4.0 out of 5 starsNot What I Expected, But Interesting Nonetheless
By Mclusky on January 21, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I have an intellectual interest in Time as a philosophical concept so I thought that the popular Thomist Josef Pieper would have something interesting and enlightening to say on the topic, and I was right, but this was more a book about the Apocalypse than a philosophical treatise on time. It's more theology than philosophy, or I should say, it's a book whose contents are about the End Times. Not what I expected, but it was a good read nonetheless. Definitely not what I was expecting.

4.0 out of 5 starsUseful insights into the nature of end of time
By Aquinas on July 28, 2008
Format: Paperback
This is not Pieper at his best but nonetheless very enjoyable. It is curious that (unlike Gilson), Pieper indicates that it is essential that any philosophising ahout time must have a theological underpinning. I suppose if there is isn't a theological underpinning how does one discern where time is cyclical (like Buddhism) or linear with a beginning an an end (Christianity). I found Pieper's insights re the anti-christ and the end of time very valuable, the idea that the anti-christ will appea pre-eminently ethical and rational.
