<p> Hughes can, where need be, have recourse to best critics and secondary sources, showing the depth and breadth of his knowledge of the relevant scholarship. But his greatest skill is to weave together scholarship and analysis to encounter and engage the texts--the skill, given his subject matter, of a philosophical poet. The burden of his erudition is to probe beneath the words and symbols, beneath the surface of the texts, to explore the complexities of the human condition and the mystery of existence as revealed by the texts. --Thomas McPartland, author of Lonergan and Historiography: The Epistemological Philosophy of History
