Writings of Charles de Koninck

<p>Volume 2 of <i>The Writings of Charles De Koninck</i> carries on the project begun by volume 1 of presenting the first English edition of the collected works of the Catholic Thomist philosopher Charles De Koninck (1906-1965). Ralph McInerny (1929-2010) was the project editor and prepared the excellent translations.</p><p>This volume begins with two works published in 1943: <i>Ego Sapientia: The Wisdom That Is Mary</i> De Koninck's first study in Mariology and <i>The Primacy of the Common Good Against the Personalists</i> (with <i>The Principle of the New Order</i>) which generated a strong critical reaction. Included in this volume are two reviews of <i>The Primacy of the Common Good</i> by Yves R. Simon and I. Thomas Eschmann O.P. and De Koninck's substantial response to Eschmann in his lengthy In Defence of St. Thomas. The volume concludes with a group of short essays: The Dialectic of Limits as Critique of Reason Notes on Marxism This Is a Hard Saying [Review of] <i>Between Heaven and Earth</i> and Concept Process and Reality.</p>
