Query: Zany and eccentric

This is another one of Fr Schall's recommendations which I picked up recently. The book is an eccentric guide to being a "self" in the modern world and the problems of being a "self". It is witty and thought provoking albeit that I would have preferred it if he had ditched the salaciousness and coarseness. However, such "touches" reflect modernity. Its a serious criticism of the one dimensional so called objective world of the scientific realist, who "objectively" views and analyses the whole world but simply cannot get the wonder of the human person. The book is a little dated now; we are no longer obsessed with annihilation through nuclear war and have moved on the a frenzied fear of global warning!
