Michael Novak was een Amerikaanse katholieke filosoof en journalist wiens werk vaak de kruising van religie, filosofie en openbaar beleid onderzocht. Zijn schrijven verdedigde het idee van vrijheid, puttend uit zijn katholieke perspectief om hedendaagse kwesties aan te pakken. Novak was een belangrijke stem in intellectuele en diplomatieke kringen, waar hij opkwam voor zijn overtuigingen over vrijheid en godsdienstvrijheid.
