Philosophical Virtues and Psychological Strengths brings Catholic philosophical and theological moral thought into direct dialogue with the psychological sciences and aims to establish the basis for developing a common framework of understanding.
This volume's thirteen essays illustrate philosophical psychology in a realist mode; the authors have been guided by Pope John Paul II's encyclical letter Fides et ratio and by the virtue theory of St. Thomas Aquinas. In these pages, they identify those elements of the Catholic tradition that remain indispensable for sustaining a credible dialogue between Christian doctrine and secular psychology.
The carefully selected contributors have established a common language that enables philosophers, theologians, and psychologists to share a profound understanding of the human person.
The philosopher, the theologian, and the psychologist will each receive this text with distinct interests and perspectives:
