"In The Life of the Mind, Georgetown University's James V. Schall takes up the task of reminding us that--as human beings--we naturally take a special delight and pleasure in simply knowing. Because we have not only bodies but also minds, we are built to know what is. Reflecting in his inimitable way on Plato, Aquinas, A.D. Sertillanges, Wendell Berry, and other writers, Schall discusses the various ways of approaching the delight of thinking and the way that this delight begins in seeing and hearing--and even in making and walking. We must be attentive to and cultivate the needs of the minds, argues Schall, for it is through our intellect that all which is not ourselves is finally returned to us, allowing us to live in the light of truth."--Page 4 of cover.
