Recenzii
[The
Pursuit
of
the
Soul]
is
densely
packed
with
robust
analysis
for
theologians,
psychologists,
and
pastoral
counselors.
...
Tyler
offers
intriguing
insight
into
the
interminable
debate
between
science
and
religion
...
[which]
ameliorates
the
divide
and
leads
to
constructive
dialogue
within
both
disciplines.
...
Tyler
is
an
incredibly
erudite
scholar
in
theology,
philosophy,
and
psychology.
He
writes
with
great
panache,
delivering
a
perceptive
monograph
for
theologians,
philosophers
of
mind,
and
psychologists
concerning
the
prerequisites
for
understanding
each
other's
disciplines
and
methods.
[Here] we have a work of detailed and complex theology that seeks to integrate psychology and spirituality. Not, however, in a coldly intellectual way, but one that portrays a life that is in pursuit itself of his subject matter. ... I can wholeheartedly commend it.
Tyler manages to pack into the volume a great deal of absorbing material and to introduce it, for the most part, in an engaging and accessible way. The book as a whole offers rich food for reflection on one of the most enigmatic and fascinating concepts in Western culture.
Peter Tyler's new book,The Pursuit of the Soul, casts a wide net in pursuit of one over-arching question: Can the traditional soul-language of the ancient Greek philosophers, the New Testament, and the early Christian thinkers enter into productive dialogue with the post-Freudian psychoanalytic world? Or, more succinctly: Are there effective pre-modern answers to post-modern questions? Understanding the soul as the locus of performative discourse, Tyler illuminates thinkers from Plato to Ludwig Wittgenstein, Thomas Merton, and Edith Stein. Incisive and thought-provoking, this bravura survey promises to make a major contribution to a central issue of our time.
Although "soul" is referred to by many today, from liturgists, poets and mystics to journalists, musicians and psychologists, few explore what soul is. The soul is frequently evoked, but we are often left in the dark as to its nature. Peter Tyler provides us with a seminal work which outlines the nature of soul, as this concept has been employed in scripture, catechesis, Platonic philosophy, late classical and early medieval theology, contemporary philosophy and psychoanalysis. This is an extremely useful and erudite book, which throws light on the historical representations of this elusive subject.
In this important book, Peter Tyler gives us a sophisticated and subtle narrative of the varied and ambiguous languages of the soul in philosophy, Christianity and psychoanalysis, from Plato and Augustine to Ludwig Wittgenstein and Edith Stein. He brings to this story both rigorous analysis and a deep sense of what he calls "the poetic wonder of the unknowing soul".
