Abstract

This work is volume twenty-one in the Catholic University of America's Studies in Philosophy and the History of Philosophy series. It consists of fifteen parts: an Introduction, thirteen previously published articles, subdivided into Parts I and II, and an Epilogue. Part I deals with the idea of Christian philosophy in general. It covers topics such as the meaning and intent of Pope Leo XIII's Aeterni Patris, the differences between the scientific and theological views of nature, the idea and distinguishing features of Catholic philosophy, the history of the American Catholic Philosophical Association, and the issue of the possible conflict of one's personal conscience and objective right reason. Part II deals with some more specific topics within the domain of Christian philosophy. Can we know about the existence and nature of God by unaided reason, and can philosophy prove the immortality of the human soul? The Introduction provides an overview of the history and nature of the problem of Christian philosophy, while the Epilogue applies Owens's principles for solving the problem to some contemporary issues.
