Call for Proposals on Dr. Sister Prudence Allen's "Concept of Women: A Synthesis in One Volume."

In this synthesis, Allen argues, first, that intellectual history shows how the truth about sex and gender slowly unfolded among the children of Athens; second, that integral gender complementarity is not only the culmination of that process but is also the confirmation of Thomistic hylomorphism and John Paul II’s anthropology, and, third that integral gender complementarity satisfies John Henry Newman's criteria for the development of truth. The plethora of philosophical and theological insights embedded in this threefold argument are worthy of consideration in any age, but especially in this age of gender confusion.

The conference, organized within the project of “National Programme for Development of Humanities” (NPRH) of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in Poland, intends to develop more in full the progress that recently has been made in these areas and to investigate the central role of the Gospel of Matthew in Aquinas’ own thought.
