Summary: | Jan Olof Bengtsson's mission is to retrace the history of modern personalistic philosophy and to show that it needs to be rewritten if justice is to be done to the achievements of the philosophers of the continental European movement that emerged in the late eighteenth century but also for the sake of our understanding of the intellectual and cultural meaning and relevance their thinking has for our world today. He sets out to show that personalism as we know it today is essentially a late version and development of their ideas (the influence of which has been obscured as often as not by the chief progenitors having had a major role in some other better-known current of thinking of their time). |
