The Fittingness of the Incarnation: Essays in Analytic Thomistic Philosophy and Theology

By David Braine

The Fittingness of the Incarnation collects David Braine's best unpublished philosophical and theological essays. The essays contained herein are representative of Braine's careful, rich and distinctive work. As one of the more interesting philosophers of his generation, David Braine offered a realist account of the world - God's existence, the human person, and language - through his major works, and these essays help follow through on some of those thoughts, explain underlying metaphysical or epistemological principles, and we see many of these applied in his theological essays. Additionally, the book includes Braine's plans for books on the realism of St. Thomas Aquinas, which helps us see again his vision for a unified philosophical account, and the Incarnation, which shows how Braine's philosophical anthropology informs. Altogether, the book contributes the final papers of David Braine to the fields at large.
