Description

Philosophy in Process, Volume Eleven, continues the publication of the working journals, the intellectual diary of one of the greatest modern metaphysicians. It presents the opportunity to experience him at work, thinking critically about his past writings and breaking ground in the creation of new works.

Paul Weiss, Heffer Professor of Philosophy at the Catholic University of America, added to his impressive list of published books with the publication in 1986 of his work on political philosophy, Toward a Perfected State, also by SUNY Press.

Reviews

"Weiss' entry for January 21, 1979, expresses his own understanding of this journal and its significance. 'I think this journal shows me primarily in the role of a philosopher, while the systematic works exhibit my philosophy. ' Neither can be dealt with in isolation from the other for they are interrelated by mutual influence. "- Thomas Kretteck, S. J., The Review of Metaphysics

"Paul Weiss is a natural resource at a time when most philosophers are narrow, technical and obscure. Philosophy is for him a life's activity. This journal, even more than his systematic books, is the expression of philosophy in him. " - David Weissman
