Product Description
In "Metaphysics as Christology", Jonael Schickler presents a major contribution to
both philosophy and theology. First he examines the key philosophical problems with
which Kant and Hegel grappled, and finds in the work of Rudolf Steiner the essence of a
solution to them. He claims that Steiner returned to Hegel's philosophical problems but
was better able to solve them. Schickler uses these philosophical debates about knowledge
and truth to understand the significance of Christ. Building on the work of Hegel,
Schickler argues that Christ has made possible the developments in human consciousness
that restore humanity's relationship to the surrounding world. This is a bold and rigorous
work that opens up new directions in both philosophy and theology.
Fraser Watts contributes the Foreword and George Pattison an extensive Preface.
