Call for Papers
Thomas Aquinas: Teacher of Humanity will explore the significance for the 21st century of Thomas Aquinas’ teaching on humanity. Is it still meaningful to talk about “humanity” or “inhumanity”? What challenges do evolution, eugenics, and the trans-humanist movement present for a concept of “humanity”? Is the “human” a viable standard in a world with many cultures and traditions? Papers are solicited on these and related topics.
Please submit papers to thomistic_center@stthom.edu.
Deadline for receipt of papers: 1 July, 2013.

The Mission
The mission of The Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas is to carry out research into, to de-fend, and to disseminate the doctrine of the Angelic Doctor, and 'to develop further this part of Thomistic doctrine which deals with humanity, given that his assertions on the dignity of the human person and the use of his reason, in perfect harmony with the faith, make St. Thomas a teacher for our time' (Inter Mu-nera Academiarum, n. 4) |
