The Way of Life

Holloway explicates how the late John Paul II profoundly understood the foundations of modern liberalism.

~David Novak, J. Richard and Dororthy Shiff Professor of Jewish Studies, University of Toronto

In this lucid and insightful book, Carson Holloway brings political philosophy to bear on John Paul II's "critique of liberal modernity." Holloway shows that the Polish Pope was neither a "progressive" nor a "reactionary" but instead a proponent of true humanism rooted in the most august classical and Christian wisdom. This indefatigable defender of human liberty and dignity rejected the premises underlying 'philosophical modernity'--materialism, hedonism, utilitarianism--precisely because they were incompatible with "the truth about man."
