Individuarian Observations: Essays in Catholic Social Reflection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781589661318)

The term "individuarian" describes a person who seeks leadership in service of his community--he is neither blatantly self-interested nor blindly communistic, but seeks to contribute positively to society. In Individuarian Observations, William J. Byron reflects on this concept and the place of individuarians in both the Catholic Church and an American society in the midst of crises and transitions. Byron's sharp insights propose an alternative ethical model based on engaged social participants who are committed to advancing the common good in these difficult times.
