Summary: Thinking AND feeling the truth
Comment: Jay Wood has done us a great service: he's written a book to help us think, and feel, more clearly. His book is a fine introduction to a complex field of philosophy. His clear writing, abundant use of illustrations from daily life and the great works of fiction, make the book more accessible than any other book on epistomology I've read (but make no mistake, no book on the topic is going to be a breeze). I was most enthusiastic about his (successful) attempt to help me understand the crucial role of emotions in how I come to know whether something is true or not.

Summary: an excellent integration of intellectual, moral, and emotion
Comment: For those seeking to integrate Christian moral virtues with intellectual virtues this is a must read. Wood argues that the virtuous life leads to our ability to lead excellent lives. This is acomplished in us by persuing intellectual virtue and its habits (intellectual honesty, love for truth, etc) along side the quest for moral virtues at the same time. Wood argues that "According to the Christian tradition, to forge virtuous habits of moral and intellectual character is part of what is required for us to grow to teh full stature of all that God intends for humans to be." (p. 19)
