2022 Reprint of the 1958 First Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. First published in 1925. Sheen describes for the reader the perfect remedy for what ails the modern age: According to Sheen, modern idealism needs the complement of realism; empiricism needs transcendental principles; philosophical biologism needs metaphysics; sociological morality needs ethics, and the world needs God! God and Intelligence in Modern Philosophy is a testament to the sheer brilliance of Sheen's intellect and to the immense clarity of his literary vision, but above all to the ardent fervor of his love for God. "In this book, as in the modern world generally, the Catholic Church comes forward as the one and only real champion of Reason. She defends the wisdom of the world as the way of dealing with the world; she defends common sense and consistent thinking and the perception that two and two make four. And today she is alone in defending them... The question to which Dr. Sheen here applies the rational as opposed to the irrational method is the most tremendous question in the world; perhaps the only question in the world." G. K. CHESTERTON "No book published in recent years does more credit to Catholic philosophy than this. It is masterly from the first page to the last, masterly in exposition and masterly in criticism. Then again (rarest of virtues in philosophical tomes) it is written in a fresh crisp style that makes the study of it not a labor but a delight. Any Catholic who knows this book and can use its treasures will be able to hold his own in the cleverest of modern company. We all owe a deep debt of gratitude to Dr. Sheen for the splendid service he has done us." The Month Contents: Introduction -- Preface -- The Problem -- The Modern attack of the intelligence -- rejection of the demonstrability of God's existence, and some new approaches -- the characteristics of the modern non-intellectual approach to God -- the modern idea of God -- Anti-intellectualism -- the thomistic answer to the modern objections against intelligence -- evolution and the first principles of the intelligence -- the value of the non-intellectual approach to God -- is God organic with the world? God is perfect -- the spirit of modern philosophy.

In this book, Fulton Sheen addresses what G. K. Chesterton called “the most tremendous question in the world; perhaps the only question in the world:” how man, through the power of reason, can know the nature of God. Tracing the course of philosophy from the Middle Ages to modern times, he shows Thomistic realism to be an adequate response to modern ideals. Emphasizing reason as a way of attaining knowledge of God, Bishop Sheen identifies the current age of agnosticism with its simultaneous distrust of reason. In a lucid tone, he analyzes the modern attack on intelligence, while presenting Scholastic philosophy as the solution to modern problems. Bishop Sheen succeeds in actualizing St. Thomas to such a degree that he ends up proving that Scholastic philosophy speaks to the world today as freshly as it did to the world of the 13th century. Catholics will appreciate the book as an astute criticism of modern theory and coherent introduction to St. Thomas, while non-Catholics will find it useful for its strict reliance on reason and not dogma in the pursuit of philosophical knowledge.

This book provides a reasoned, comprehensive understanding of what religion is as well as a clear and critical assessment of whether, in the light of modern developments in philosophy, contemporary thinking people can responsibly maintain religious belief in God. The book is divided into three major sections: the first deals with what all religions may be said to have in common; the second discusses theistic religion and the issue of intellectually responsible belief in God; the third examines current developments within a particular theistic religion, Christianity. Originally published in 1968, the book is basic, both in the nature of the issues it discusses and in the clarity and comprehensiveness of its presentation; it is varied in the arguments and perspectives dealt with; it provides an introduction to philosophical thinking through the problems of philosophy of religion; and it deals seriously with controversial movements in theology.
