Rediscovery of Wisdom From Here to Antiquity in Quest of Sophia

By reconstructing it and tracing its vicissitudes, David Conway rehabilitates a time-honored conception of philosophy, originating in Plato and Aristotle, which makes theoretical wisdom its aim. Wisdom is equated with possessing a demonstrably correct understanding of why the world exists and has the broad character it does. Adherents of this conception maintained the world to be the demonstrable creation of a divine intelligence in whose contemplation supreme human happiness resides. Their claims are defended against various latter-day skepticisms.Conway, David is the author of 'Rediscovery of Wisdom From Here to Antiquity in Quest of Sophia' with ISBN 9780312234065 and ISBN 0312234066.
