Synopsis
The Church and the State is an explication of the Catholic tradition as an integral element of Western political thought. Beginning with a critique of three major schools of political thought—the Federalist, the Straussian, and the Voegelinian—Molnar examines the central weakness of conventional wisdom regarding Western political philosophy and practice: the exclusion of thought and experience uniquely present in Christianity. Taking his cue from Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas, Molnar argues that politics must be both spiritual and communal in nature, else it ignores the true make-up of human nature. Simultaneously a provocative analysis of the assumptions in twentieth-century political philosophy and a promising synthesis of the truths present in the Western legacy and the Catholic tradition, The Church and the State asserts that order, not confusion, is the constant in human history, and that the surest compass in politics is human understanding, inspired by faith and doctrine.
