You are very warmly invited to the launch of this new book by Prof. Felix Ó Murchadha of the Discipline of Philosophy. It will take place on Wednesday 12th November 2025 beginning at 5:30 pm in the Hardiman Building G011. The book will be launched by William Desmond, Emeritus Professor, of Philosophy KU Leuven and visiting Professor at Villanova University. This book reveals a phenomenological metaphysics, which places it at the cutting edge of contemporary work on phenomenology. It addresses the crisis of world that is all around us as the meaning structures relating to self, nature and divinity all seem to be undermined politically and socially within the current reality of climatic, geo-political and ideology turmoil. In addressing these issues, this text argues for a renewed understanding of reason as a fidelity to world understood as faithfulness to the being and value of self, nature and divinity.
