Book Description
Since the mid-1970s an amazing philosopher has blazed across the philosophic sky-Stephen R. L. Clark. Author of twelve books (including From Athens to Jerusalem, Aristotle's Man, and Animals and their Moral Standing) as well as dozens of articles, hailed by critics as arresting, profound, amusing, and, paradoxically, irritating, Clark's writing has focused on three seemingly distinct philosophical spheres: philosophy of religion, the moral status of animals, and political philosophy. Dombrowski meticulously and critically assesses a wealth of important ideas and philosophical and theological topics to provide us with a firm grasp of Clark's ideas about God, animals, the environment, and politics.

Excellent Presentation of Clark's Thought March 27, 2001
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Dombrowski effectively presents a coherent and illuminative picture of the philosophy of Stephen R. L. Clark. I read this book without having had any prior experience of Clark's philosophy and have come away with a treasure of thought-provoking insights. While I must agree with Clark's critics that his style is not as systematic as one would like, his prosaic writing (numerous passages are quoted by Dombrowski) is itself an enjoyable experience. I agree with Dombrowski against those critics who find no coherency in Clark's treatment of the various areas of religion, duties toward animals and politics. His vision of the world and humanity's place in it, which Dombrowski presents in the last chapter, is philosophically interesting (rooted in neo-Platonism) and effectively demonstrates the coherency of Clark's philosophy in terms of his main project to avoid both extremism and anthropocentrism while preserving traditional religious ideals.
