En savoir plus sur le livre

What is the Catholic Intellectual Tradition (CIT)? What can be its beneficial impact on the individual and social life at the beginning of the 21st century? - Nine contributions, written by scholars from Asia, Europe, North and South America, show that the CIT is by no means a traditionalist reaction to a secular, globalized world. Addressing contemporary economical, social, managerial, educational, religious, philosophical, and theological issues, at a local or global level, they also draw on the Judeo-Christian heritage as it has been and is still preserved, transmitted, and developed in the Catholic Church. They show that CIT is a powerful, creative imagination able to make a life fostering difference in today's world.
