Modernity, Pluralism, and Catholicism
Leszek Kolakowski (1927–2009)
Leszek Kolakowski (1927–2009) Nadia Diuk, Richard Pipes, George Weigel, Abbas Milani, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jerzy Szacki, and Carl Gershman The eminent Polish philosopher, Leszek Kolakowski, who had a major influence on the development of the Polish democratic opposition, died on 17 July 2009.

Pope John Paul Ii and the Dynamics of History
John Paul II was the most politically consequential pope in centuries, and his “culture-first” reading of history challenged the notions that politics runs history, or economics runs history. As a priest and bishop in Krakow, he emphasized Polish culture as he and others resisted communist influence. The Pope applied a similar strategy to quite different situations when he went to Chile and Cuba, focusing on Christian heritage and civil society. …
Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism
The Cube and the Cathedral
This provocative book by leading Catholic commentator George Weigel examines Europe's crisis of culture and exposes it as a crisis of secularism Contrasting the civilization that created the cube of the Great Arch of La Defense in Paris with the culture that produced the cathedral of Notre-Dame, Weigel contends that Western Europe has abandoned its Christian roots and has embraced in its place a soulless secularism that threatens to erode the tra…
The Desecularization of the World
"For Two Centuries theorists of "secularization" have been saying that religion must inevitably decline in the modern world. But much of the world today is as religious as ever. This volume challenges the belief that the modern world is increasingly secular, showing that while modernization does have secularizing effects, it also provokes a reaction that more often strengthens religion. Seven expert social observers examine several geopolitical r…
The Final Revolution
Many Western commentators have identified the conflict between communism and consumerism as the key factor in the ‘Revolution of 1989’ in eastern Europe. However, in this challenging new book, George Weigel argues that the real root of the Revolution lay in a radical rejection of what Vaclav Havel called communism’s ‘culture of the lie’. Beginning with the ‘martyr-cardinals’ of the 1950s, Weigel considers the role of the Roman Catholic Church in …

Achieving Disagreement
“Pluralism must not be confused with, and is in fact endangered by, philosophical and ethical indifference. Commitment to strong, clear philosophical and ethical ideas need not imply either intolerance or opposition to democratic pluralism. On the contrary, democratic pluralism requires an agreement to be locked in public argument over disagreements of consequence within the bonds of civility.”—The Williamsburg CharterThe question of how we conte…

Tranquillitas Ordinis
In recent years, Roman Catholic bishops and activists have been highly visible in the public debate over issues such as nuclear arms control and U.S. policy in Central America. Until now, however, the evolution of American Catholic thought on these questions has received little attention. This book is the first comprehensive critical analysis of American Catholic thought on war and peace. The author's purpose is to evaluate the post-Vatican II tr…
