Damian Ference

Understanding the Hillbilly Thomist

The Philosophical Foundations of Flannery O'Connor's Narrative Art

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"In this new book, Fr. Damian Ference proposes a more precise lens for decoding Flannery O'Connor's narrative art, one that originates in O'Connor's own words about herself: Hillbilly Thomism. The author examines the various ways in which St. Thomas Aquinas and the philosophical tradition of Thomism shaped not only O'Connor's view of reality but also the stories she told to help us see and know it."--from inside front flap.
