"I am happy and privileged to introduce this remarkable book", writes Father Norris Clarke, SJ, a distinguished Jesuit of Fordham University, "not the least because it has made such creative use of my own philosophical explorations in creative retrieval of Thomistic metaphysics. Person in Cosmos takes on the daring project of bringing together for mutual illumination the world vision of modern science (in its larger lines, of course) and that of traditional Christian theology, mediated by a realistic, streamlined, Thomistically-inspired philosophy. Except for a small number of creative Christian thinkers, Christian theology in the past has gone along its own way, with its own internal dialogue, quite independent of and unconcerned with the vast developments of modern science, in particular, physics and biology. But this is not a satisfactory situation...and Father O'Shea attempts to set things aright".
