In reflecting on these 16 essays one can see the outlines of a Thomism for the democratic age. * Claremont Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003eHittinger's confrontation with the subjects of this work is so intensely personal that to read them is to be drawn into a dialogue not only with the subject matter but also with Hittinger himself. It is a bracing and rewarding experience. * Perspectives on Political Science *\u003cbr\u003eThis work establishes John Hittinger as one of the ost important political theorists of his generation writing from a Thomistic perspective.

For a Thomist theory of democratic government and its implications for education, no better text is likely to be found. * Review of Metaphysics *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1 Preface Part 2 Jacques Maritain and Yves R.
