[John Lussier · Rating 4 out of 5]

Burrow's is a wonderful and extensive introduction to the philosophy of personalism, particularly from the Bostonian school. The work does tend to focus on philosophers of the Boston school, instead of their ideas or personalism in wider spheres. But that's great if that's what you're into! Personalists take personhood (or personality in an older sense) as the central reality of the world, and the key to understanding and living rightly.
