Written by noted Catholic philosopher Michael Novak, the selections
in The Myth of Romantic Love and Other Essays highlight the arc of
his intellectual career. Collectively demonstrating the fundamental
unity of Novak's work, the sixteen essays in this book span a broad
range of political, economic, and social topics. The selections
offer clarity of thinking for the sake of concrete ends. For
example, "The Myth of Romantic Love," the chapter from which the
title of this work is drawn, sharply distinguishes the "love" that
popular culture portrays from the true Christian vision of love.
And "The Family out of Favor" argues, "if things go well with the
family, life is worth living; when the family falters, life falls
apart." Thus, true Christian love manifest in marriage and family
life is a greater resource for civilized society than any other
institution. Although this collection shows that Novak's viewpoints
did evolve over time, he remains a thinker that is clearly rooted
in the ancient and medieval Catholic tradition. From his
discussions of gender relations, to economics, culture, and
politics, his perspective honors the primacy of man and his
immediate experience, and thereby ultimately glorifies the Creator.
Novak's writing will infuriate some readers, and inspire many
others but both comrades-in-arms and intellectual opponents will
find the clarity and intensity of his writings undeniable.
