In this book, Stephen R.L. Clark defends the primary faith of humankind, that there is a real world which is more than a shadow of our desires and fancies, and which can be discovered through right reason. Focusing on the way in which we can "turn aside" to the Truth from the normal delusions of self-concern, Clark offers a properly worked, Platonic metaphysics as the key to identifying that reality. This book is the final volume of Limits and Renewals, a trilogy based on the author's Stanton lectures, delivered at Cambridge between 1986 and 1989, and his Wilde lectures, delivered at Oxford in 1990.

Praise for this book

"This book, along with the others in the trilogy, are well worth reading for those who are interested in the complexities of the relationship between a theoretical defense of Christianity and an equally theoretical criticismm of the modern state."--Journal of Church and State

"Clark has some very important things to say, and he says them eloquently. He draws from a fascinating range of sources, literary, religious, and philosophical. His discursive and allusive style is vital and engaging....This volume is one of the more constructive critiques of liberal culture in recent years. [It] will richly reward the attention of anyone who cares about the current plight of liberal society and who is prepared to consider how (a certain kind of) religion might help to renew it."--Religious Studies Review
