Foundations of Economic Personalism is a series of three
book-length monographs, each closely examining a significant
dimension of the Center for Economic Personalism's unique synthesis
of Christian personalism and free-economic market theory. In the
aftermath of the momentous geo-political and economic changes of
the late 1980s, a small group of Christian social ethicists began
to converse with free-market economists over the morality of market
activity. This interdisciplinary exchange eventually led to the
founding of a new academic subdiscipline under the rubric of
economic personalism. These scholars attempt to integrate economic
theory, history, and methodology with Christian personalism's
stress upon human dignity, humane social structures, and social
justice. This second volume in the series surveys the
anthropological foundations to the disciplines of economics and
moral theology. The first part of the book presents an overview of
the German, French, and Polish branches of personalist thought.
Particular attention is given to theological anthropology,
especially as it is developed by such thinkers as Emmanuel Mounier,
Max Scheler, Gabriel Marcel, Karol Wojtyla, and Emil Brunner. Part
two surveys models of human nature that have been espoused by
various schools of free-market thought--including mainstream
neoclassical economics. In conclusion, the authors demonstrate how
an expanded understanding of human nature can augment the ability
of economic science to model and predict human behavior.
