First, the evolutionists, and then Simone de Beauvoir, and Judith Butler present their accounts. Next, a fourth (and unique vision for our age) is added: the thought of Thomas Aquinas is placed in dialogue with the evolutionists, Beauvoir, and Butler, thereby introducing into contemporary discourse a voice that is both ancient and new. The work seeks to trace each protagonist’s account to its fonts, so providing a perspective from which various streams of thought might be understood both in their divergence and common origins. It thus hopes to offer a common language and an interpretive key in a realm where confusion and misunderstanding too often reign. . 0aReligion and sociology.968604 0aPhilosophy, Medieval.966933 0aPhilosophy.96618914aSociology of Religion.96860624aMedieval Philosophy.96693824aPhilosophy.9661892 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303174530008iPrinted edition:z978303174532408iPrinted edition:z9783031745331 0aHistorical-Analytical Studies on Nature, Mind and Action,x2509-4807 ;v1597469940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-74531-7  aZDB-2-SLS  aZDB-2-SXS  c64748d64748
