Publisher's Description
"I believe in a new humanity." Evocative words spoken by Pope Francis to the assembled young people in Krakow, Poland during the final mass for World Youth Day on July 31, 2016. What was he thinking about? Where did this idea come from? This book answers these questions and examines for the first time an original way of thinking about our shared humanity, a way that was intimated sixty years ago and is still to be explored.

“Father Carroll’s image of a symphony carries throughout this work. He helps us to hear the voices of seminal thinkers across the ages, who then resound in the Second Vatican Council and beyond. A Belief in Humanity reminds us how important the sapiential tradition of Catholic Intellectual Life continues to be. It reaffirms the ways that the Second Vatican Council needs to be heard in the twenty-first century and beyond.”
“Thomas Carroll has written an original book on a most interesting but underdeveloped idea from the Second Vatican Council: Conciliar Humanism. Artificial Intelligence, Transhumanism, and various other gnostic developments are calling into question common assumptions of what it means to be human. This book provides a robust response, drawing together the insights of the sapiential philosophical tradition. Highly recommended.”
