The book The Nature of Man in St. Thomas Aquinas Compared with the Nature of Man in American Sociology by Roberta Snell is a comparative analysis of two fundamentally different perspectives on the nature of man. The book compares the views of St. Thomas Aquinas, a medieval philosopher and theologian, with the views of American sociology, a modern social science.Snell explores the philosophical and theological underpinnings of Aquinas' views on human nature, which are rooted in a Christian worldview. She contrasts these views with the more secular and scientific views of American sociology, which are based on empirical research and social theory.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of the soul, the relationship between the individual and society, the role of reason and emotion in human behavior, and the concept of free will. Snell argues that while Aquinas' views may seem outdated to some, they still offer valuable insights into the nature of man that are often overlooked by modern social science.Overall, The Nature of Man in St. Thomas Aquinas Compared with the Nature of Man in American Sociology is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of two different perspectives on the nature of man. It will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy, theology, or social science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
