The Catholic University of America Press A Cosmopolitan Hermit: Modernity and Tradition in the Philosophy of Josef Pieper
Composed of ten original essays written with the goal of exploring the thought of one of the most significant German philosophers of the 20th century, namely, Josef Pieper (1904-1997), this book is the only systematic treatment of his expansive philosophy to date. It brings his philosophy into dialogue with that of other important 20th century philosophers and schools of thought. The breadth of this discussion is itself a tribute to Josef Pieper. Not only do the essays seek to make better known the thought of this significant man, but they also deepen an understanding of some of the philosophical problems and challenges of our time. Some of the subjects discussed are, among others, the notion of totalitarianism and the question of what constitutes authentic culture; the intrinsic value of leisure and its relation to the total world of 'work'; the dimension of virtue in the on-going realization of the human person; the rational foundation of hope in confrontation with incomprehensible violence (such as that of Auschwitz, Burundi, and the events of September 11); the relation between faith and reason in a secular society; and the legitimacy of tradition.

EUNSA. Ediciones Universidad de Navarra, S.A. Una filosofía de la esperanza. Josef Pieper
Al comienzo de un nuevo milenio es normal que el hombre se cuestione en qué cifra su esperanza humana (individual y colectiva). Y la pregunta es especialmente pertinente en este tiempo nuestro, marcado por Hiroshima y Auschwitz, Yugoslavia y Ruanda. Ante estos acontecimientos, tiene razón de ser la esperanza humana? En qué podemos basarla, después de tales atrocidades? Tomando como hilo conductor la filosofía de la esperanza elaborada por el filósofo alemán Josef Pieper (1904-1997), esta obra establece un diálogo entre las posiciones de los distintos filósofos contemporáneos que han hablado de esperanza (como Ernst Bloch, Gabriel Marcel, Josef Godfrey, etc.), representantes a su vez de las diferentes corrientes en la filosofía de nuestro tiempo. Bernard N. Schumacher enseña filosofía en la Universidad de Friburgo, Suiza. Fue profesor invitado en las Universidades de Chicago y Lugano, y en Providence College (Rhode Island).
