Person and Act: John Paul II's Philosophy w/ Timothy Flanders | Catholic Culture Podcast

Catholic University of America Press recently launched a major new series: the English Critical Edition of the Works of Karol Wojtyła/John Paul II. The first volume of the series was a new translation of Wojtyła's 1969 book Person and Act, along with related essays. In Person and Act Wojtyła set forth the foundation of his blend of phenomenology, Thomism and personalism, a foundation underlying much of his other philosophical and theological writing. The first English translation is generally considered to be quite inaccurate, and, crucially, removed the Latin terms by which Wojtyła refers to the Thomistic and scholastic tradition, leading to a false impression that Wojtyła was much more of a pure phenomenologist and less of a Thomist than he really was. Thus the new translation by Gregorz Ignatik is a significant moment for the reception of Wojtyła/John Paul II's thought in the Anglosphere. In this episode, Timothy Flanders joins Thomas Mirus to discuss Person and Act as they attempt to boil down some of the key points of this rather challenging book, to set Wojtyła's philosophy in its intellectual, cultural, and religious context, and showing why his insights about human consciousness, the experience of morality, and the person are important for us as well. Points discussed include: --How Wojtyła's use of phenomenology and personalism relates to the traditional Aristo-Thomistic anthropology --The importance of phenomenological methods for the "healing of experience" and giving an objective account of the subjective --Correcting modern errors about consciousness --The concept of the person in relation to the traditional concept of human nature --The need to integrate cognition with experience and the danger of the "emotionalization of consciousness" --The centrality of morality to personhood LINKS The Meaning of Catholic    / @themeaningofcatholic   Person and Act and Related Essays https://www.cuapress.org/978081323366...
