This is the fifth volume in the "Major Conservative and Libertarian
Thinkers Series". Since the dawn of the Enlightenment, modernity
and the Papacy have experienced a difficult though never severed
relationship. "Modern Papacy" goes beyond the caricatures to
demonstrate how the popes - specifically John Paul II and Benedict
XVI - have articulated a sophisticated critique of the
post-Enlightenment world, one that acknowledges the real progress
made in modernity while simultaneously highlighting its political
and philosophical shortcomings. Far from falling on deaf ears, the
nature of their engagement with the modern world has sparked
criticism and praise from Catholics and non-Catholics alike -
sometimes in surprising ways. Whether the subject is faith and
reason, religion and the modern sciences, the roots and future of
Europe, or the origin and ends of human freedom, John Paul II and
Benedict XVI pose questions that simply cannot be ignored,
regardless of whether one likes their answers. "Major Conservative
and Libertarian Thinkers" provides comprehensive accounts of the
works of seminal conservative thinkers from a variety of periods,
disciplines and traditions - the first series of its kind. Even the
selection of thinkers adds another aspect to conservative thinking,
including not only theorists but also thinkers in literary forms
and those who are also practitioners. The series comprises twenty
volumes, each including an intellectual biography, historical
context, critical exposition of the thinker's work, reception and
influence, contemporary relevance, bibliography including
references to electronic resources and an index.
