Product Overview
Philosophy as a Spiritual Exercise investigates distinctive contributions to the discipline of philosophy that have arisen out of the Society of Jesus. The essays in the collection span the history of the Society, from its foundation until today, and refer to many of the founding documents and Fathers of the Order. Throughout, there is the question of the relation of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius to philosophy. As a result, the book offers ways to think about how philosophy relates to spiritual development and how spiritual development relates to philosophy.
