From speculative theology to the exegesis of Aquinas, to contemporary North American philosophy and Catholic social and ethical thought, to the thought of Benedict XVI, this work argues the crucial importance of the proportionate natural end within the context of grace and supernatural beatitude.
Introduction -- On the loss, and the recovery, of nature as a theonomic principle : reflections on the nature/grace controversy -- A criticism of nature as vacuole for grace -- On the impropriety of treating theology's handmaiden like an analytic -- Why natura pura is not the theological stalking horse for secularist minimalism or pelagianism -- Conclusion -- Appendix: Cardinal Ratzinger and Pope Benedict XVI.
