Jean Bethke Elshtain Quotes

There Is Much: Recognition Of The Fact That Human Beings Live Indeterminate And Incomplete Lives; Recognition Of The Power Exerted Over And Upon Us By Our Own Habits And Memories; Recognition Of The Ways In Which The World Presses In On All Of Us, For It Is An Intractable Place Where Many Things Go Awry And Go Astray, Where One May All-too-easily Lose One's Very Self. The Epistemological Argument Is Framed By Faith, But It Stands On Its Own As An Account Of Willing, Nilling, Memory, Language, Signs, Affections, Delight, The Power And The Limits Of Minds And Bodies. To The Extent That A Prideful Philosophy Refuses To Accept These, Augustine Would Argue, To That Extent Philosophy Hates The Human Condition Itself.
