Logic of the Heart, The
Philosopher James Peters sets forth his case for the rationality of the Christian faith in The Logic of the Heart. This work is a unique exercise in philosophical apologetics and an ambitious project to restore passionate reason to Christianity. To accomplish his aim, the author carefully mines and analyzes the thought of Augustine and Blaise Pascal. Even more interesting, Peters employs the writings of skeptic David Hume as a backdrop and a tool to show the importance of harmonizing the head and the heart in matters of faith. Peters ultimately finds the balance between the Enlightenment’s overemphasis and reliance on human autonomy and reason alone and postmodernism’s espousal of the creation of reality and interpretive freedom: the proper use of reason–guided by the human heart–truly locates and embeds humans in the world and helps them to live wisely. As a comparative study, The Logic of the Heart is appropriate for seminary and graduate school professors and students. The book is also accessible to upper-level undergraduate students in epistemology, philosophical theology, and the philosophy of religion.
