The contribution of Christian intelligence to western culture is
widely recognized by those committed to the scholarly pursuit of
truth, concerned for the welfare of the nation, and dedicated to
the preservation and advancement of the permanent achievements of
the West. The dignity of the human person and the place of the
human person in society, the western polis, have in large part been
developed in the context of a Christian culture that continues to
offer insights for the development of the human person. This book
addresses the place of faith and values in the secular state.
Renowned specialists in a wide range of disciplines - philosophy,
jurisprudence, psychology, and theology - discuss how the person
and the polis are guided by ethics and religion, and how liberty
and transcendence interact in human aspirations. The contributors
are Hadley Arkes, Romanus Cessario, Robert P. George, Michael
Novak, Daniel N. Robinson, Kenneth Schmitz, and Paul C. Vitz. The
authors enter into a constructive conversation in an attempt to
attain a deeper understanding of the human person through the
integration of insights from practical wisdom and Christian faith.
The book advances the cause of the human person and society by
synthesizing the genuine contributions of the human sciences with
an openness to spiritual sources of understanding and practice.
Such intelligent dialogues between the sciences, philosophy, and
religion - about human dignity and beatitude, moral responsibility
and values, law and custom, community and institutions - contribute
potent means for nourishing the person and constructing the polis
with the insights of reason strengthened by the surety of faith and
Christian intelligence.
