Faithful Reason

A Mind’s Matter: An Intellectual Autobiography, by Stanley L. Jaki (Eerdmans, 328 pp., $25)

SINCE The publication of his break-through book, The Relevence of Physics, in 1966, Stanley Jaki has generated a body of intellectual work that is perhaps unequaled over the last third of a century in range, magnitude, learning, and importance. An émigré who came to the U.S. from Hungary—via Rome—after World War II, he has written over 40 books and dozens of essays, introductions, and encyclopedia articles, and received some of the highest intellectual honors, including the Templeton Prize (1987). He has delivered two series of Gifford Lectures at the University of Edinburgh, and Fremantle and Farmington Institute Lectures at Oxford. He has been intermittently associated with Princeton.
