"What is the relationship between creation, contemplation, human flourishing, and
moral development? Nathaniel Warne's Josef Pieper on the Spiritual Life offers a sophisticated
answer to this question through a systematic analysis of philosopher Josef Pieper's
(1904–1997) thought. Warne's examination centers on the role of contemplation and
creation in Pieper's thinking, arguing that contemplation of the created order is
a key feature of earthly happiness. By emphasizing the importance of contemplation,
Pieper illustrates the deep interconnections between ethics, creation, and spirituality.
For Warne, to posit a binary between the contemplative life and active life creates
a false dichotomy. Following Pieper, Warne claims that theology and spirituality cannot
be bracketed from ethics and social action—indeed, our lived experience in the world
blurs the lines between these practices. Contemplation and action are closer together
than are typically assumed, and they have important implications for both our spiritual
development and our engagement with the world around us. Ultimately, Warne's emphasis
on creation and contemplation represents an attempt to resist a view of ethics and
the spiritual life that is divorced from our environment. In response to this view,
Warne argues that we need a renewed sense that creation and place are important for
self-understanding. Contemplation of creation is, fundamentally, a form of communion
with God—we thus need a more robust sense of how ethics and politics are rooted in
God's creative action."
