Francesca Murphy -- University of Notre Dame "Ressourcement and modern Augustinian philosophical theology have been called on their apparent 'fideism': Schindler's response is a resounding philosophical 'Come at me, bro!' The Catholicity of Reason is the most stimulating text in philosophy of religion to appear for many years. It's the 'must read' book of 2013." Montague Brown -- St. Anselm College "D. C. Schindler celebrates and brilliantly defends the life that is reason, a life threatened by reason's claim to be autonomous and equally by reason's claim to be limited. Against the reduction of reason to its discursive operations characteristic of the Enlightenment, Schindler insists on the infinitely rich activity of reason in pursuit of the trinity of the irreducibly distinct but always interrelated objects of reason -- truth, goodness, and beauty. The only thing more important than the catholicity of reason by which it strives to encompass all truth, goodness, and beauty is the Catholicity of reason -- the great gift of divine revelation, which never restricts reason nor distorts human nature but, on the contrary, makes reason ever more reasonable and the human person ever more human.

" Oliva Blanchette -- Boston College "Schindler goes a long way toward restoring the metaphysical scope of reason. Much of the discussion in this exploration of the catholicity of both reason and being takes place at the hinge where philosophy and theology join hands. Anyone interested in all such questions of catholicity and analogy both in reason and in being will find much to take into consideration here.".
