Notes on Humanity delivers a thought provoking view of Western intellectual history, presenting the three primary intellectual attitudes, Faith, Reason, and Certainty, and their historic struggle to define "the ideal of humanity in the Western experience." The questions spawned in this endeavor are the inheritance of Western civilization. The author skillfully traces human engagement with Faith, Reason, and Certainty through an evaluation of "the great works" (including both literature and the fine arts), which remain the visible manifestations of humanity's pilgrimage toward resolution and harmony.

R.W. Carstens is Professor of Political Science and Humanities, Ohio Dominican College.
