Summary
Chapter 6: This chapter contrasts the nature of dialog in Catholic Social Teaching (CST) (in which political practical wisdom is the organizing virtue) with the expectations for dialog in technical social science disciplines like economics (which are skeptical of practical wisdom). Benedict XVI’s insistence in Caritas in Veritate that charity and truth are integrally related reframes and challenges this fundamental disagreement over the nature of the dialog.
