St. Thomas Aquinas is often said<br \/>\n(dismissively) to have gotten his view of woman from Aristotle\u2019s<br \/>\nbiology. But while he did accept some of Aristotle\u2019s biological<br \/>\nerrors, they disagree on something far more fundamental, namely<br \/>\ntheir metaphysical interpretation of difference and inequality<br \/>\namong human beings. A comparison between the Aristotelian view and<br \/>\nthe Christian\/Thomistic view of inequality is profoundly<br \/>\ninstructive for how we see not only the difference between the<br \/>\nsexes, but civil society and the entire cosmic hierarchy willed by<br \/>\nGod.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>LINKS\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>New Polity\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/newpolity.com\/\">https:\/\/newpolity.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Andrew Willard Jones, The Two Cities: A History of Christian<br \/>\nPolitics\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stpaulcenter.com\/store\/the-two-cities-a-history-of-christian-politics\">https:\/\/stpaulcenter.com\/store\/the-two-cities-a-history-of-christian-politics<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Episode transcript\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicculture.org\/commentary\/hierarchy-and-woman-aristotle-vs-aquinas-w-andrew-willard-jones\/\">https:\/\/www.catholicculture.org\/commentary\/hierarchy-and-woman-aristotle-vs-aquinas-w-andrew-willard-jones\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>DONATE to make this show possible!\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/catholicculture.org\/donate\/audio\">http:\/\/catholicculture.org\/donate\/audio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SIGN UP for Catholic Culture&#8217;s newsletter:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicculture.org\/newsletters\">https:\/\/www.catholicculture.org\/newsletters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n      var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n      if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n      js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n      js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.8&appId=834757889913083\";\n      fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n    }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/catholicculturepodcast.libsyn.com\/hierarchy-and-woman-aristotle-vs-aquinas-w-andrew-willard-jones\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aug 31, 2026 Groundbreaking Catholic political thinker Andrew Willard Jones joins the podcast to discuss a brilliant lecture he recently gave at the New Polity<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":298000,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[166],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-297999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
