Used Book – My Philosophical Testament, Jean Guitton

With this book, which is a wonderful celebration of the mind, intelligence, and heart, Jean Guitton fulfills one of humanity's strangest and oldest dreams: to witness his own death, arrange his funeral, and exchange a final word with chosen masters and friends. Successively, Pascal, Bergson, and Paul VI came to him to confirm the necessary gamble of Catholic faith. At the hour of reckoning, how many mysteries to unravel! The problem of evil with General de Gaulle, that of art with El Greco, of love and poetry with Dante... The moment of ultimate judgment has arrived. In the courtroom, two intercessors come forward: Thérèse de Lisieux and François Mitterrand... In this true-false testament, as mischievous as it is imbued with immense spiritual richness, Jean Guitton poses for himself and for all humanity the essential questions about the meaning of life and opens the great philosophical debate of the third millennium.
