Description

Discover the philosophical mind behind Pope John Paul II with this comprehensive introduction to Karol Wojtyla's thought. Written by one of the Pope's closest friends and counselors, this book provides an in-depth exploration of Wojtyla's philosophy and its original contribution to the concept of freedom.

The early chapters offer a biographical overview of Wojtyla's life and philosophical formation, while the middle chapters delve into two of his central concepts: human love and the acting person. The closing chapters examine Wojtyla's role at the Second Vatican Council, his poetic works, and how his thought engages with contemporary philosophy.

This English edition includes a foreword by Michael Novak, an appendix from a previously published work, and an afterword that updates the book with a survey of secondary literature on Wojtyla's thought published between 1982 and 1996. A valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the Pope's philosophy and its significance.
