Summary
Love of Learning: Desire For Justice is about the dynamic interplay between the life of the mind and the life of the spirit, where the academic and the social support and strengthen each other. These essays are from discussions among college teachers struggling to develop an atmosphere of creative excellence and effective social justice for their undergraduate students. The "option for the poor" discussed here arose among Catholics out of the energies released by Vatican Council II in the 60's that went into meeting new challenges within the Church and the unfairnesses that afflict so many in the US and around the world.
