No other living tradition has been thinking about thinking longer
than the Catholic Church. With carefully selected readings from
classical, patristic, medieval, modern, and contemporary sources,
Renewing the Mind proposes the Catholic tradition as the noblest
and best hope for a recovery of humane learning in our time. Edited
by theologian and philosopher Ryan N.S. Topping, this anthology
draws from a range of classical and contemporary philosophers -
from Plato and Aristotle, Augustine and Aquinas, Newman to
Chesterton to Benedict XVI - to reconstruct and illustrate the
enduring vitality of the Catholic tradition of thinking about
thinking. Parts One, Two, and Three take up the essential
characteristics which define all learning activity: its purpose (or
end), its form and content (or curriculum), and its method (or
pedagogy). With an eye to meeting the challenge of the present
crisis in education, Part Four illustrates the contemporary renewal
of Catholic education. Included are selections that speak not only
to liberal or general education but to a variety of contexts in
which Catholics are called to study or teach: at home, at school,
in college, or in the seminary. Renewing the Mind includes an
introductory essay on the history and renewal of Catholic
education, followed by 38 selections each with an introduction,
biography, and study questions; adorning the text throughout are
illustrations from the National Gallery of Art. Educators of
children and college students will find this an essential guide to
the best of what has been said about what it means to be conformed
to the mind of Christ.
