This volume revisits and transcends the traditional renditions of St. Thomas More’s life and career and focuses on the underside of this lecture series where innovative insights emerge given the richness of the lectures’ individual contexts.

The new and meaningful ideas inspired by this lecture series bridge gaps between the cultures and times of St. Thomas More and contemporary Philippine society. A focus on More’s ideas by the individual lecturers on education, religion, politics and governance, business, the environment, and national development, international relations, and the arts and the evolution of national culture affirms that despite diversity and difference between cultures cutting across time and/or cultures evolving in history, a shared humanity and the assertion of Christian values prevail.
