This book advances the cause of the human person and society by synthesizing the genuine contributions of the human sciences with an openness to spiritual sources of understanding and practice. Such intelligent dialogues between the sciences, philosophy, and religion—covering human dignity, beatitude, moral responsibility, values, law, custom, and community institutions—provide potent means for nourishing the person and constructing the polis with the insights of reason strengthened by the surety of faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #8B0000; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eReader Targeting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eTheologians and philosophers studying the intersection of Christian ethics and secular politics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eAcademics and students in political science focusing on law, human rights, and the nature of the state.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eReaders interested in Catholic intellectual tradition and the development of the human person within society.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #8B0000; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eAccolades \u0026amp; Awards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eVolume 1 of the esteemed John Henry Cardinal Newman Lectures series.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eFeatures collaborative essays from widely celebrated scholars across the fields of jurisprudence, psychology, philosophy, and theology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #8B0000; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eEditor \u0026amp; Contributor Biographies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCraig Steven Titus\u003c\/strong\u003e (Editor) is a research professor at the Institute for the Psychological Sciences, as well as a lecturer and researcher at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland.
