    An Enquiry into Goodness. [REVIEW]J. D. Bastable - 1959 - Philosophical Studies (Dublin) 9:237-240.
    The problem of good, for all its fundamental importance, has been studied systematically only occasionally in the history of philosophy. The Greeks were concerned with it and so too are the moderns, but it was almost disregarded during the ages of faith. Apparently it is only in periods of moral transition, when there is widespread rejection of traditional standards, that people begin to ask: What, after all, is goodness? What does it mean to call something good? An Enquiry into Goodness (...)

    L’Existence de Dieu. Cahiers de l’Actualité Religieuse, No 16. [REVIEW]J. D. Bastable - 1964 - Philosophical Studies (Dublin) 13:301-304.
    The philosophical problem of the existence of God has acquired a pressing importance from the force of contemporary atheism. Some twenty expert thinkers express their personal reflections in the papers presented in April 1960 to the seventh Rencontres doctrinales at the Dominican college of theology at La Sartre in Huy, Belgium. A ten-page annex of critical discussion on the relation between belief and proof, between metaphysical experience and its dialectic towards the explicit affirmation of God reveals a candid appreciation that (...)

    A Companion to Wittgenstein’s Tractatus. [REVIEW]J. D. Bastable - 1968 - Philosophical Studies (Dublin) 17:390-393.
    Fifty years ago, after two years of research under Russell and four years’ war service which sharpened their differences, Wittgenstein completed the manuscript of his Tractatus Logco-Philosophicus A German edition appeared in 1921 and the first London edition with a facing English translation was published in 1922. A tightly compressed set of aphoristic statements, numbered decimally in some eighty octavo pages, whose laconic precision captured the post-war mood of scientific positivism, it was welcomed in an Introduction by Russell’s cautious accolade: (...)

    The Idealist Tradition. [REVIEW]J. D. Bastable - 1958 - Philosophical Studies (Dublin) 8:197-199.
    Idealism, which gradually dominated nineteenth century philosophy through its insistence upon the superiority of spiritual values above material forces and its sophisticated objections against the immediate instinct of common-sense realism in knowledge, is moribund to-day and difficult to render intelligible to to-day’s down-to-earth student. Yet its problems still constitute a capital part of epistemology, in whose courses it is often presented in a summary and harsh light. Histories of philosophy are not large enough normally to follow systematically one line of (...)

    Thomas and the Physics of 1958. [REVIEW]J. D. Bastable - 1958 - Philosophical Studies (Dublin) 8:248-249.
    From his authority as the co-author of established text-books, notably The Foundations of Physics, Dr. Margenau compares current scientific methodology with some relevant principles of St. Thomas’s epistemology, particularly in the perennial problem of the valid functions of reason and of sense in scientific experience. Since Quantum Theory has removed the possibility of absolute prediction and verification, reason can no longer be considered to offer a mere image of the sense world. Hence “the sensory domain is forever richer than theory (...)

With an introductory 29–page table of concepts and a concluding 80–page systematic tableau of the history of philosophy and a 20–page index of names, its substance lies in a 400–page collection of succinct articles which bears systematically on every department, historical school of thought, key problem, principle and term of established philosophical thinking.

    Existence and the Existent. [REVIEW]J. D. Bastable - 1958 - Philosophical Studies (Dublin) 8:201-206.
    This slender volume presents a lucid English translation of a short but dense treatise, published in Paris in 1947 by the French ambassador to the Vatican, in which M. Maritain drew upon the capital of his metaphysical works to analyse the intellectual problems posed by fashionable Existentialism. While admitting that certain forgotten truths have been illuminated since Kierkegaard, he claims the existence of authentic Existentialism by prior right in the Thomist synthesis and exemplifies its wisdom in his acute evaluation of (...)

    Philosophers Speak of God. [REVIEW]J. D. Bastable - 1964 - Philosophical Studies (Dublin) 13:334-334.
    These are two agreeable volumes of a paperback series of six which offer a convenient introduction at a modest price to the history of Western philosophy. Selecting basic texts from the main philosophers with a succinct scholarly commentary, they present the beginner with the mainly epistemological problems of the 17th and 18th centuries. The seventeenth century Age of Reason saw the publication of secular philosophy in the vernacular and with dependence upon the new physical sciences rather than theology. Its dominant (...)

    Pictorial History of Philosophy. [REVIEW]J. D. Bastable - 1959 - Philosophical Studies (Dublin) 9:269-270.
    Professor Hirschberger’s two–volume History of Philosophy has in a few years established itself as a general text–book for the European undergraduate student—only an expert can simplify the whole course of European thinking without distortion and expound it comprehensively in its main principles and systematic developments without cramming the reader with indigestible facts and without failing to stimulate his intelligent communion with the past. The Bruce Publishing Company display their customary enterprise in publishing an English edition very soon and in securing (...)

    St. Thomas Aquinas. [REVIEW]J. D. Bastable - 1958 - Philosophical Studies (Dublin) 8:235-236.
    For all its originality and traditional wisdom the metaphysics of a thirteenth century Aristotelian Christian comes in a remote idiom to the current secularist mind, even though this be conscious or semi-conscious of the ambiguous epistemological and ethical presuppositions respectively of its scientific method and practical living. The problem of presenting its achievement in appealing contemporary guise remains acute and fluid. The usual, direct solution is adopted here in personal fashion by Father Reith, who states his modest terms of reference (...)

    The Nature of Belief. [REVIEW]J. D. Bastable - 1958 - Philosophical Studies (Dublin) 8:195-197.
    In 1931 Father D’Arcy, then also a don at Oxford, published the first comprehensive exposition and critical evaluation in England of John Henry Newman’s sole philosophical work, the Essay on Assent—if one excepts the contemporary set of censorious articles published by his pedantic confrère, Father Thomas Harper, in The Month and later edited for private circulation. Father D’Arcy’s philosophic humanism and lifelong interest in the apologetics of belief make him a particularly sympathetic commentator and his work has done much to (...)

    Harper’s paperback series is rapidly forming an invaluable collection of established modern texts and studies for the university student. The present elegant two-volume edition of a comprehensive set of twenty-one expert analyses of the main themes of Earl Russell’s philosophy, with his personal introduction and replies, reprints a 1944 American publication whose distinguished contributors included Reichenbach, Gödel, Moore and Einstein under the genial prompting of Professor Schilpp. It remains a lucidly authoritative guide to a public sage, whose sixty years of (...)
