In Volume Two of Ernest Fortin: Collected Essays, Fortin deals with
the relationship between religion and civil society in a Christian
context: that of an essentially nonpolitical but by no means entirely
otherwordly religion, many of whose teachings were thought to be
fundamentally at odds with the duties of citizenship. Sections focus
upon Augustine and Aquinas, on Christianity and politics; natural law,
natural rights, and social justice; and Leo Strauss and the revival of
classical political philosophy. Fortin's treatment of these and
related themes betrays a keen awareness of one of the significant
intellectual events of our time: the recovery of political philosophy
as a legitimate academic discipline.
