- One of the first systematic analyses of the Catholic intellectual tradition
- Each chapter includes further reading suggestions for teachers and interested students
- Features an explicit contrast between nonsectarian primary and secondary education, and a traditional Catholic approach and philosophy
- Addresses important Catholic religious themes in professional training as well as liberal arts undergraduate programs
The Catholic intellectual tradition is broad, and covers a wide array of academic disciplines. From the origin of universities and through their first six hundred years of existence, philosophy and theology were the central disciplines. However, with the establishment of chairs in mathematics and others in chemistry at German universities in the nineteenth century, new academic disciplines started to be acknowledged and, in the following two hundred years, the modern array of academic departments gradually emerged. Many of the topics covered in these emerging disciplines, however, had earlier been
addressed in theology or philosophy, and it is from here that the Catholic intellectual tradition made important contributions and distinctions in many of the most popular undergraduate academic departments.
Structured around two lead essays on Catholic anthropology and Catholic theology, this volume focuses on important religious themes and how they appear in various academic disciplines. John Piderit, Melanie Morey, and their contributors take a disciplinary approach to the Catholic intellectual tradition. Each chapter focuses on one academic discipline or major that is taught at the undergraduate level in most colleges or universities; the book is primarily intended for Catholic institutions who teach undergraduates and have an interest in showing students how
various topics in their disciplines are related to Christian belief and the Catholic tradition in particular.Readership: · faculty members at Christian institutions of higher education
· faculty involved in Catholic Studies programs at both religions and nonsectarian institutions of higher education
