Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
For the layman the philosopher's quest is at times difficult to comprehend, and yet, we neglect his world at our own peril. Even if we do not grasp the full meaning of his answers, or worse, if we do not even understand his questions, our effort will nevertheless be rewarded.

Fritz Medicus, On Being Human . The Life Of Truth And Its Realization: Book Review, Leo Schelbert
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
This is a difficult book, the summary of a philosopher's final insights into "Truth and Its Realization". In a language simulataneously straightforward and compledx, questions of logic, ethics, and ultimate values are discussed, all within a tight network of post-Kantian, partly scholastic (that is Judeo-Christianized Aristotelian), Partly idealist (especially Fichtean) concepts. The study demands much patience and willingess to follow a sustained arguement which starts with a critique of phenomenological assumptions and culminates in a redefinition of religion as the domain not of credal structures but of ultimate concern.
