• Hancock shares his thoughts on David Walsh's response to his (and Tim Fuller's) reservations concerning the primacy of "existence" over what he considers a more genuinely "practical" deference to substantial hierarchies of goods by insisting on a kind separation between theory and practice. The greatest service Walsh provides in his learned and often exquisite meditation on the luminosity of existence is to remind one of the deeply Christian roots of the central problem of modern philosophy. This problem is most fully explicated, not in Walsh's recently completed trilogy, but in a book published in 1999: The Third Millennium: Reflections on Faith and Reason, and especially in the third and central chapter of this book: "Christianity as the Limit of Differentiation."
