- Summary:
- This first book-length treatment of Thomas Aquinas's theory of the body presents a Catholic understanding of the body and its implications for social and political philosophy. Making a fundamental contribution to anti-totalitarian theory, McAleer argues, by way of contrasting with four other groups of thinkers, that a sexual politics reliant upon Aquinas's theory of the body is better than other commonly available theories.
