Metaphysics for Everyone

Metaphysics for Everyone is the first in an exciting new series of interviews with prolific French religious philosopher and metaphysician Bruno Bérard, whose work Angelico Press first introduced to anglophone readers with the publication in 2018 of his important work, A Metaphysics of the Christian Mystery: An Introduction to the Work of Jean Borella. Further volumes of this series will include Theology for Everyone, Esotericism for Everyone, Jean Borella for Everyone, and Wolfgang Smith for Everyone (the pivotal contemporary thinkers Jean Borella and Wolfgang Smith are also authors featured by Angelico). 

In her preface to this initial volume, interviewer Annie Cidéron points out that the questions we all ask ourselves—“Why is there something rather than nothing?”, “Who am I?”, “What comes next?”—surely deserve to be answered, and that the science fit to provide the answers is metaphysics. The ensuing discussion between Cidéron and Bérard consists of a lively, personal, sometimes grave, sometimes humorous, interweaving of vibrant and personal questions and answers, confessions and exchanges, offering easy access to the beautiful and often stunning pedigree of human thought ever since metaphysics was founded by Plato and Aristotle. This modest book opens the door, but as it makes clear, it is up to each and every one of us to walk through that door in our quest for the meaning of our humanity and of our world.
