Review Quotes:
"John Corrigan's knowledge of the philosophical thought of Karol Wojtyla-John Paul II is difficult to surpass. His research and insights are at once fascinating and brilliant. He deserves our gratitude for pursuing this unique work on the late Pole's profound thinking on the human person and human culture. This is a timeless examination needed just as badly in our time today as it was in the time of Wojtyla." --Paul Kengor, author of A Pope and a President: John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, and the Extraordinary Untold Story of the 20th Century
"In this book, Wojtyla's philosophical reflections on human culture reveal more about him and his work thanks to the original treatment and enriched bibliography of John Corrigan." --Manuel Correia, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile "In his book, John Corrigan offers a comprehensive and well-researched insight into authentic human culture in light of Karol Wojtyla's personalistic thought by exploring the intrinsic link between culture and the transcendent character of the human person." --Grzegorz Ignatik, Pontifical College Josephinum
