Summary
Chapter 4: The personalist vision of Catholic Social Teaching (CST) attempts to correct the distortions of social science, but a division between the work of community at lower levels of society and the work of governing persists. A bottom-up account of society through the lens of practical wisdom – a practical personalism – integrates individual agency more securely into human dignity.
