In this episode of the Encyclopedia of Catholic Theology podcast, Dr. Christopher Kaczor reflects on his formation as a Catholic philosopher and his contribution to the series with an article on moral systems. He discusses his education at Boston College and the University of Notre Dame, the influence of mentors like Peter Kreeft, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Ralph McInerny, and his current work at Loyola Marymount University and with Word on Fire. The conversation explores virtue ethics, contemporary moral debates, and the enduring relevance of the Catholic intellectual tradition.
