Mer om författaren

Recensioner i media
"Dr. Pieper, with his grounding in Scholastic thinking, especially Thomas Aquinas, brings to the reader an interpretation of this classical tradition that has things to say about the human person today. He attempts to make what could become a list of requirements for ethical behavior into a human quest for the wisdom that enables one to become the kind of person one strives to be." —Studies in Formative Spirituality"Oddly tantalizing. . . The discussion is historically broad (Platonism to Heidegger), and the parallels drawn are often surprisingly sharp." —Kirkus Reviews
