Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Part I: Believing in Order to Understand: Revelation's Contributions to Philosophy -- 1. Heinrich Meier's Straussian Refutation of Revelation -- 2. Political Philosophy after the Collapse of Classical, Epistemic Foundationalism -- 3 Eros and Agape Revisited: Reconciling Classical Eudaemonism with Christian Love? -- Part II: Faith and the Foundations of Political Order -- 4. The Strange Second Life of Confessional States -- 5. Defending the Personal Logos Today -- 6. Pierre Manent: Between Nature and History -- 7. Catholicism and the Constitution -- Part III: Faith and Contemporary Political Thought -- 8. Beholden to Revelation? Scripture's Role as Public Knowledge and Moral Authority -- 9. Fides, Ratio et Juris: How Some Courts and Some Legal Theorists Misrepresent the Rational Status of Religious Beliefs -- 10. Richard Rorty's Secular Gods and Unphilosophic Philosophers Luigi Bradizza -- 11. Converting Secularism -- Contributor Biographies -- Index
Summary: While the dominant approaches to the current study of political philosophy are various, with some friendlier to religious belief than others, almost all place constraints on the philosophic and political role of revelation. Mainstream secular political theorists do not entirely disregard religion. But to the extent that they pay attention, their treatment of religious belief is seen more as a political or philosophic problem to be addressed rather than as a positive body of thought from which we might derive important insights about the nature of politics and the truth of the human condition.In a one-of-a-kind collection, DeHart and Holloway bring together leading scholars from various fields, including political science, philosophy, and theology, to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy and to demonstrate the role that religion can and does play in political life. Contributing authors include such important thinkers as Peter Augustine Lawler, Robert C. Koons, J. Budziszewski, Francis J. Beckwith, and James Stoner.
