Love and the Postmodern Predicament: Rediscovering the Real in Beauty, Goodness, and Truth. D.C. Schindler. Eugene, OR: Cascade Books, 2018. Love and the Postmodern Predicament aims to recollect the pre-modern vision of humanity through an exploration of beauty, goodness, and truth, each of which characterizes a special form of the human encounter with reality. Beauty awakens in us our desire and intellectual capacities to know; goodness is the pursuit of free action as a type of gift of self; truth is the identification of knowledge with one’s being. Undergirding Schindler’s interpretation of human nature is an understanding of love as an ontological unity of will and intellect. Neither voluntarist nor emotivist, Schindler’s concept of love preserves the full integrity of goodness and truth as different modes of the revelation of being.
