A Greater Freedom

Philosophy

“It is rare to encounter a book engaging central moral questions that moves with such facility between philosophical and linguistic traditions as Kampowski's. By his uncommonly deep engagement with contemporary and recent thought, in particular Habermas and the unappreciated contributions of Hans Jonas, Kampowski has composed a remarkably vibrant and meaningful account of human nature that offers our relationality--our familialness--as a corrective to an unmeasured submission of the human to biotechnological promise.”

From Achilles to Superman

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Sometimes you don't realize you need something until you get it: that is the case with Captain Joseph McInerny's book, From Achilles to Superman. We are drowning in books on leadership, but so few of them connect leadership to the intellectual tradition that produces men and women of virtue like this one does. The only remedy to our cynicism about our leaders—their character, their effectiveness, their good for us—is for us to be able to recognize people of character. This book tells the story we need to hear to help bring clarity back to our vision of leadership at this urgent moment.”
