Belief and Unbelief: A Philosophy of Self-knowledge
ISBN: 9781138519428 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is perhaps the most widely read of Michael Novak's books. Belief and Unbelief attempts to push intelligence and articulation as far as possible into the stuff of what so many philosophers set aside as subjectivity. It is an impassioned critique of the idea of an unbridgeable gap between the emotive and the cognitive � and in its own way, represents a major thrust at positivist analysis. Written in a context of personal tragedy as well as intellectual search, the book is grounded in the belief that human experience is enclosed within a person to person relationship with the source of...

Catholic Social Thought and Liberal Institutions: Freedom with Justice
ISBN: 9780887387630 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 311 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Increasingly, the religious leaders of the world are addressing problems of politi-cal economy, expressing concern about the poor. But will their efforts actually help the poor? Or harm them? Much depends, Michael Novak asserts, upon what kind of institutions are constructed, that is, upon realism and practicality. His thesis may be simply stated: Although the Catholic church during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries set itself against liberalism as an ide-ology, it has slowly come to admire liberal institutions such as democracy and free markets. Between the Catholic vision of...

The Open Church
ISBN: 9780765807724 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Michael Novak's eyewitness report on the second and pivotal session of Vatican II in 1964 vividly inter weaves pageantry, politics, and theology. An unusually well-informed lay intellectual, who had earned a theological degree just before the Council, Novak applauded the purposes of Pope John XXIII and his successor Paul VI-"to throw open the windows of the church." In this report, he coined the classic description of the foes of the reforms at Vatican II as the party of "nonhistorical orthodoxy," emphasizing the eternal and unchanging, neglecting history and contingency. The author...

The Making of a Martyr: Father Richard Novak, C.S.C.

An Inquiry Into a Missionary's Violent Death in East Pakistan: "We had many talks together, Father Richard and I, at the Foreign Mission Seminary in Washington. And it began to be apparent to me that here was a young man not of the regular mold, but one looking for an outstanding challenge. "He found it in the decision, approved by Superiors, to dedicate his life to the apostolate to the Moslems, admittedly one of the most difficult of all apostolates. In twelve hundred years Christianity has never really built a bridge to Islam. Yet, this is what Father Richard chose, and went off questing...

This Hemisphere of Liberty: A Philosophy of the Americas

As nations undergo radical transformation in every quarter of the world, we have a greater need than ever before to re-examine the sources of strength and weakness in our political, social and economic institutions.

Unmeltable Ethnics: Politics and Culture in American Life
ISBN: 9781138540101 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 486 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This new, enlarged edition of an influential book�originally published in 1972 as The Rise of the Unmeltable Ethnics�extends the author's wise and generous view of ethnicity. Its aim "is to raise consciousness about a crucial part of the American experience: to involve each reader in self-inquiry. Who, after all, are you? What history brought you to where you are? Why are you different from others?" But the point of such inquiry is civility: "The new ethnic consciousness embodied in this book delights in recognition of subtle differences in the movements of the soul. It is not...

Why is a job well done important to us? We know there is more to a career than money and prestige, but what exactly do we mean by "fulfillment"? These are old but important questions. They belong with some newly discovered ones: Why are people in business more religious than the population as a whole? What do people of business know, and what do they do, that anchors their faith? In this ground-breaking and inspiring book, Michael Novak ties together these crucial questions by explaining the meaning of work as a vocation. Work should be more...
