VERITAS
Series Introduction
... the truth will set you free (John 8:32)
In much contemporary discourse, Pilates question has been taken to mark the absolute boundary of human thought. Beyond this boundary, it is often suggested, is an intellectual hinterland into which we must not venture. This terrain is an agnosticism of thought: because truth cannot be possessed, it must not be spoken. Thus, it is argued that the defenders of truth in our day are often traffickers in ideology, merchants of counterfeits, or anti-liberal. They are, because it is somewhat taken for granted that Nietzsches word is final: truth is the domain of tyranny.
Is this indeed the case, or might another vision of truth offer itself? The ancient Greeks named the love of wisdom as philia , or friendship. The one who would become wise, they argued, would be a friend of truth. For both philosophy and theology might be conceived as schools in the friendship of truth, as a kind of relation. For like friendship, truth is as much discovered as it is made. If truth is then so elusive, if its domain is terra incognita , perhaps this is because it arrives to usunannouncedas gift, as a person, and not some thing.
The aim of the Veritas book series is to publish incisive and original current scholarly work that inhabits the between and the beyond of theology and philosophy. These volumes will all share a common aspiration to transcend the institutional divorce in which these two disciplines often find themselves, and to engage questions of pressing concern to both philosophers and theologians in such a way as to reinvigorate both disciplines with a kind of interdisciplinary desire, often so absent in contemporary academe. In a word, these volumes represent collective efforts in the befriending of truth, doing so beyond the simulacra of pretend tolerance, the violent, yet insipid reasoning of liberalism that asks with Pilate, What is truth?expecting a consensus of non-commitment; one that encourages the commodification of the mind, now sedated by the civil service of career, ministered by the frightened patrons of position.
The series will therefore consist of two wings: (1) original monographs; and (2) essay collections on a range of topics in theology and philosophy. The latter will principally be the products of the annual conferences of the Centre of Theology and Philosophy (www.theologyphilosophycentre .co.uk).

Pguy and Bergson
I n this volume, Bruce Ward has brought to an English-speaking public for the first time Charles Pguys two characteristically undulating and intricate final essays which are concerned with the philosophy of Henri Bergson, but which also serve to summarize the French poets entire thoughts about philosophy, Christianity, literature, history, and politics. His faithful translations ably convey the unique tenor of Pguys incantatory style, in which endless reiteration is juxtaposed with frequent apparent digression, and which is inseparable from the novel content that he wished to convey.
