Recenzii
Feature
piece
on
Kenny,
his
bio
and
beliefs,
including
following
quote:
'What
I
Believe
isa
powerful
work
and
will
long
be
consulted
and cherished
by
those
who
study
philosophy
and religion.'
The
Catholic
Herald
' (Kenny) whose own spriritual story is presented in small, themed chapters that prove complete and satisfying. ... The arguments are easily digestible, crafted with simplicity and economy to accomodate lay philosophers.' New Stateman
'Kenny's fondness for Christianity is much evident in his new book, What I Believe. After an autobiographical beginning, Kenny guides the reader down the philosophical paths which lead him to state: "Why I am not an athetist", but also "Why I am not a theist".
"...fascinating and rewarding..." "The book is clearly written; Sir Anthony presents his ideas with clarity and an admirable lack of stridency." (The Lance, June 2007)
Review as key book to refute atheists in Baptist Times, June 2010
The translation, by the late John Bowden, reads well.
'Kenny manages to say something illuminating in a style generally accessible....The position Kenny sketches is fundamentally agnostic and he offers and interesting defence of a criticism sometimes makde of such a point of view.' Paul Richardson, Church of England Newspaper, 29/09/2006
'No doubt believers will be changed by this book' - Sallyanne Attwater, Expository Times
Article on Kenny's beliefs The Tablet, 8 July 2006
'The honesty and intellectual rigour, which characterise this book, make it a stimulating and challenging read for anyone interested in questions of belief.' Catherine Twomey, The Furrow
'Summarizing a lifetime's philosophical reflection with characteristic clarity and conciseness...Kenny is scrupulously fair and balanced in his assessments, always striving to follow the argument where it leads. This is a book that engages on many levels, intellectual as well as emotional, and the style is both brilliantly economical and outstandingly lucid. It is hard to imagine a philosophical credo offering more stimulating challenges to believers and unbelievers alike.'
Kenny somehow manages to fuse academic rigour with self-analysis to provide the reader with a rare treat of the intellectual struggles of one of the most pioneering philosophers since the second world war. His contributions to philosophy and the academic community at large are unquantifiable, making reading his personal thoughts and ideas a particularly exciting prospect...a refreshing theme throughout is Kenny's personal touches combined with his natural academic flair, designed to provide clear, concise and structured arguments to debates so often running at tangents and descending into chaos. I certainly recommend this to anyone interested in these 'ultimate' issues regardless of the strength and nature of their academic background.
