In exploring the role of Catholic intellectuals in engaging science
and technology in the twentieth century, this book initially
provides a background context for this evolution by examining the
Modernism crisis in the first chapter. In order to unpack the
subsequent evolution, Thompson then concentrates in separate
chapters on the distinctive contributions of four specific Catholic
intellectuals, Jacques Maritain (1882 1973), Pierre Teilhard de
Chardin (1881 1955), Bernard Lonergan (1904 1984), and Thomas
Merton (1915 1968). All of these intellectuals experienced some
degree of official restraint in their efforts but through their
distinctive intellectual trajectories, they contributed to a
different engagement of the Church with science and technology. In
the final chapters, the book first reviews the changes within the
institutional Church in the twentieth century toward science and
technology. Finally, it then applies some key ideals of the four
intellectuals to anneal and extend John Paul II's approach of
"critical openness" to suggest how the Church can now engage
science and technology."
