A Father’s Authority: Love in Action John Cuddeback for IFS
John Cuddeback writes on the role of the father and how the right use of his authority helps his children.
A human father is a generator not only of the human form but also and especially of human flourishing. Human flourishing consists in good character and the fruits that follow from it, such as friendship and wisdom. (Theological considerations will enrich but not negate this point.) At the heart then of human formation is the formation of the heart—in the sense of a person’s desires and loves. Here we think again of Lasch and the crucial importance of making an individual want to do what he has to do.
