Summary:

Almost single-handedly, Ernest L. Fortin resuscitated the study of political philosophy for Catholic theology.

Edited by Michael Foley, the volume contains articles never before published and is for anyone wishing to continue their education from Ernest Fortin or to begin learning from him for the first time.
