My
book contains primarily a historical argument about the origins and early
development of personalism; but not least since the historical argument
is not and indeed cannot be wholly independent of assessment—and
I do signal sympathy in several respects for the early personalist enterprise—it
is possible to address my work in philosophical terms and to expect answers
from me in the same terms. Many of the positions discussed cry out for
further philosophical treatment of the kind for which there was no place
in the book, and I am grateful for the opportunity to respond here to
essays that provide so much of what I had to leave out.
