The Human Person ~ Dignity Beyond Compare is a high school textbook designed to introduce the student to a Thomistic philosophical understanding of the human person. Arranged in an easy-to-read style with questions to check (or guide) the reader, the text brings college-level philosophical content down to the high school level. The relevancy of the subject matter is highlighted in the “Cases in Point” which apply the content to modern day situations. The second half of the text investigates the nature of human love and the appropriate expression of love through the body’s sexual acts in marriage. Using Pope John Paul II’s insights in Love and Responsibility, these final chapters present the philosophical basis of his Theology of the Body.
