Frank M. Oppenheim's 2005 Book Reverence for the Relations of Life

Abstract

In my 2,900-word review essay "Frank M. Oppenheim's 2005 Book Reverence for the Relations of Life," I primarily highlight the American Jesuit philosopher and theologian Frank M. Oppenheim's 2005 book Reverence for the Relations of Life: Re-imagining Pragmatism via Josiah Royce's Interactions with Peirce, James, and Dewey (University of Notre Dame Press). However, I also more briefly highlight Oppenheim's two earlier books published by the University of Notre Dame Press: (1) Royce's Mature Ethics (1993); and (2) Royce' Mature Philosophy of Religion (1987). In connection with Oppenheim's 1987 book, I also briefly highlight the relevant work of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian and media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955).
