Do you feel that taking your faith to work is as welcome as driving a truck through a living room? Please God, Let There Be Another Boom is a reasonable and helpful guide, showing foundations for integrating faith with work, and exploring the practical impact of faith at work. In an era where workers change jobs or move from city to city in order to sustain themselves and their families, hope to continue will be found in these chapters. After pouring solid footings for faith at work, the author presents ten important areas where workers balance belief with business. These areas include: ... - authority - relationships at work - verbal witness - pay and its problems - rest - meaning at work - prayer at work - and more For over thirty years, author Grant McDowell has shepherded people who live with the impossibilities and rewards of the workplace, and he has engaged in their world via his blue-collar background, his involvement in the local business community, and by seeking ways to encourage those who refuse to pretend spirituality is reserved for wooden benches in quiet sanctuaries.

The debate between internalism and externalism has become a focal point of attention both in epistemology and in the philosophy of mind and language. Externalism challenges basic traditional internalist conceptions of the nature of knowledge, justification, thought and language. What is at stake, is the very form that theories in epistemology and the philosophy of mind ought to take. This volume is a collection of original contributions of leading international authors reflecting on the present state of the art concerning the exciting controversies between internalism and externalism.
This book draws upon the phenomenological tradition of Husserl and Heidegger in order to provide an alternative elaboration of John McDowell’s thesis that in order to understand how self-conscious subjectivity relates to the world, perception must be understood as a genuine unity of spontaneity ('concept’) and receptivity ('intuition’). This alternative elaboration permits clarification of McDowell’s critique of Donald Davidson and development of an alternative conception of perceptual experience giving clear sense to McDowell’s claim that self-conscious subjectivity is so inherently in touch with its world that scepticism about the latter must be incoherent. It also permits develo...
Philosophers will be richly rewarded by reading John O’Callaghan’s new book, Thomistic Realism and the Linguistic Turn. Based on his broad knowledge of Aristotle and Aquinas, O’Callaghan provides not only an excellent treatment of Aquinas’s epistemology but also a superb demonstration of just how Aquinas might contribute to contemporary debates. Traditionally, the camps of realism and idealism fiercely engaged one another in the field of epistemology. Thomists participated in confronting idealism from their unique realist position. Post-Wittgenstein, the conflict has been dominated by a form of epistemology that grounds all knowledge in linguistic practice. Since Thomists work in a textual and historical mode, their response to the technical approach of the analytic philosophy in which most of the linguistic epistemologists write has been slow in coming. O’Callaghan expertly closes that gap by successfully bringing together these fields.
