Ecstatic Morality and Sexual Politics

G.J. McAleer is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Loyola College in Maryland and the editor, with Guy Guldentrops, of Henry Bate, Speculum divinorum et quorundam naturalium, books 8-10.

"Making a fundamental contribution to antitotalitarian theory, G. J. McAleer argues that a sexual politics reliant upon Aquinas's theory of the body is better (because less violent) than other commonly available theories." -Theology Digest "This is a splendid book. It adds to the wave of books by fine medievalists who are also trained in the best traditions of analytic philosophy." -- -Fergus Kerr, OP New Blackfriars "We can only hope that those thomists who wish to take up the cause are as well attuned to the need for showing the ongoing relevance of Aquinas for modern thought as is McAleer" -The Thomist "The book is fun and infuriating." -Modern Theology McAleer's excellent book stands out for the richness of its metaphysical, ethical, and political account of the body-soul ecstasis to which Christians are called, and likewise for the richness of its range of interlocutors." -National Catholic Bioethics Center
