Aprašymas

A reader of the great late-20th century Hungarian Catholic philosopher

Ladislaus Boros was a Jesuit in his formation and theological foundations who became a forerunner for ideas of God and the universe—including “the ontology of transcendence”—that took hold a generation after his passing in 1981.

As this “Reader” makes clear, Boros explores an ontology of transcendence, and the connaturality of the seeming dichotomies of life and death. The purpose of this selection—from eight of his more than twenty books—is to introduce Boros to a contemporary audience in English, from texts that have been long out-of-print. In these writings he addresses profound questions about what it is to be human—our deepest, even unknown to us, longings, desires, and hopes. This isn’t self-help or devotional writing, but an exploration of the origins and journey of the human spirit in its search for meaning and hope. In doing so, Boros examines the life of Jesus as a fully human being, free in will, yet destined for death, just as are we all.
