The achievements of John Paul II in recent years cannot be
overstated. Led by this man and his profound contribution to
Catholic social thought, the Catholic Church has become the world's
single greatest voice for democracy and human rights. Protestants,
too, have found in Pope John Paul II a brave and steadfast
Christian pastor. Few people, however, know the Pope's background
or the philosophy behind his thinking. Written by Rocco
Buttiglione, one of the Pope's closest friends and counselors, this
volume is the standard work for all who want to understand the
philosophical mind of Karol Wojtyla, the man who became Pope John
Paul II. Based on an accurate reading of all of Wojtyla's works and
of all relevant secondary literature, this English edition of
Buttiglione's book provides a complete introduction to the Pope's
philosophy and his original contribution to the philosophy of
freedom. The early chapters give biographical information on
Wojtyla and examine his early philosophical formation. The middle
chapters explore in depth two of the Pope's central philosophical
and theological conceptions--human love and the acting person. The
closing chapters look at Wojtyla's role at the Second Vatican
Council, examine his poetic works, and place his thought in
dialogue with contemporary philosophy. New to this English edition
of Buttiglione's work are a foreword by Michael Novak, an appendix
published for the third edition of The Acting Person, and an
afterword that updates the book with a survey of secondary
literature on the Pope's thought published between 1982 and 1996.
