Summary:

"Personalist thought offers fundamental perspectives which are able to shape the broader fields of philosophy, theology, and related areas of study. Familiarity with the scope of its recent developments is valuable not only for personalist scholars but also for those interested in non-materialist thought and especially the problems and questions of the person in various aspects. This work, bringing together papers from a 2019 conference, aims to serve these readerships. It will also provide an archival record of the state of the field at this point in Western intellectual history. In terms of content, the work addresses four general themes: personalist thought as it is encountered in the writings of particular scholars; the place of personalism within broader philosophical thought; personalist engagement with major religious traditions; and the application of personalist modes of thinking to a range of real-world questions. The book is unique in that it brings together multiple strands of personalist thought, demonstrating its breadth and depth and its ability to engage in wider contemporary philosophical and cultural debates"-- Provided by publisher.

"This volume presents the state of the art for an important emerging way of thinking about philosophy, religion, and the social sciences. After 400 years of quasi-dualistic separation of spiritual versus mechanistic, empirical versus metaphysical, consciousness versus physicality, these essays now point to a revitalizing of "person" as self-organizing, not reactive; self-moving, not merely pushed; purposeful, not aimless; embodied, not ghostly; and relational, not micro-reductive. Important contributions here discuss the philosophical work of John Macmurray, Martin Luther King, Hindu Personalism, the personalist approach to environmental ecology, the phenomenological personalism of Edith Stein and Pope John Paul II, and working-class perspectives on the meaning and dignity of personhood"-- Provided by publisher.
