And in the end, Where does philosophy go?

Suppose that there is indeed objective truth, but there is no algorithmic method that guarantees us access to that truth. Christian philosophers can, I believe, embrace this possibility without despair. They can hold both that there is a truth to seek, and reasonably hope we can achieve an approximation of that truth if we seek honestly and with passion. Those who know they are made in the image of God will have reason to trust that their human capacities are trustworthy, the gifts of a gracious and loving God. Thus there are resources in the Christian faith that may help protect philosophy itself from the despair that threatens those who aspire to the kind of knowledge Spinoza thought possible, but who realize that it is not humanly achievable.—Evans, A History of Western Philosophy, 585

That's his summary at the end of the book. I hope you enjoyed that quick romp through almost 600 pages of A History of Western Philosophy.

Tomorrow we'll start a different book, now out of print, to the best of my knowledge, so the link will be to Worldcat, letting you locate a library near you carrying the book. The book? What Is a God? Anthropomorphic and Non-Anthropomorphic Aspects of Anthropomorphic Aspects of Deity in Ancient Mesopotamia, edited by Barbara N. Porter. It used to be distributed by Eisenbrauns, which is why I have a copy. I hope you enjoy the ride!
