Opis
As Thomas Molnar tells us, humanism — a man-centered ideology — is dominant in the West. It is Molnar’s aim in this modest size book to analyze the phenomenon and also show its influence on the Roman Catholic Church. In so doing, Molnar provides an enjoyable overview of Western thought spending a good deal of time on authors that many of us might not have the time to study. Yet these thinkers have had great influence on history: from Joachim of Fiore, Cusanas and Meister Eckhart in the past to more recent names such as Moltman and Teilhard de Chardin.
Molnar is quite interesting in his discussion of how Christianity has surrendered to secularism. The discussion of the influence of Maritain is quite valuable as well. This is a very informative book.
