Book excerpt: Though Fr. Henle describes his book as simply a collection of his past philosophical publications that he deemed 'of some importance and some value' to which he has added some updating editorial comments, Dr. Ralph McInerny of Notre Dame, in his Foreword, places Fr. Henle and his works such as these essays high in the Catholic thomistic revival that followed Leo XIII's encyclical Aeterni Patris in 1879. For those who have known Fr. Henle and his work over the years, this book is valuable and convenient record and reminder; for those for whom this is an introduction, it provides new insight into a seminal mind.
