Francis Graham Wilson was a central figure in the revival of
interest in political philosophy and American political thought in
the mid-twentieth century. While he is best known as a Catholic
writer and conservative theorist, his most significant contribution
is his original interpretation of the development of American
politics. Central to his thought was a process of
self-interpretation by the citizenry, a quest for ultimate meaning
turning to a divine, transcendent, basis of history and shared
experience. Although Wilson's writings were extensive and
influential, they have not been readily available for decades.
Political Philosophy and Cultural Renewal brings together a
coherent and representative selection of his work, highlighting his
concern for the common good and his belief in personal and societal
restraint as an alternative to political partisanship and
superficiality.Wilson's affirmation of a republican inheritance
encourages contemporary students of politics to revisit the
Founders' views of diffused political authority. His remarkable
contribution to American political philosophy is a full-fledged
theory of cultural renewal that has lost none of its relevance for
contemporary political and social issues. This volume will be of
interest to historians, political scientists, and American studies
specialists.
