Anthropology--the study of man--is unlike every other study because humans are its subject

The study of man today is divided in three ways that it should not be: between the humanities and the social sciences, between natural and metaphysical philosophy, and between faith and reason. This book bridges these three divides to build toward an integrated understanding of human being that begins with the revealed truths of Christian faith. Because its humanism draws upon diverse fields of art, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and th...

This book is a work of philosophy concerning how we should think about social life. Whereas social science has traditionally been a study of social physics (a study of material individuals that interact in time and space) it must become a study of social life (a study of the vital forms and feelings of an inherently social species).

The Nuptial Mind is about the coincident decadence of mind and sexuality in American society today, particularly on the university campus. Lloyd E. Sandelands argues that this decadence owes to a contemporary blindness to the theological precept expressed in Biblical revelation that God created Man in His image, as "male and female in one flesh." The book advances the "nuptial hypothesis" that the human mind reaches its greatest heights of cre...

Sex is a theoretical puzzle because it is much older than we are. A primary fact of biology, sex has defined society from nearly the beginning of life on earth, and as a result we cannot see its effects in our lives in evolutionary comparisons with near primate or mammalian relatives. Sex is a puzzle, too, because it is often misconstrued in social science. It is not, as many social scientists believe, a mere feature of a person, like hair or ...

Anthropology - the study of man - is unlike every other study because humans are its subject. A companion to "Man and Nature in God", this book attempts to establish that an anthropology in God succeeds where an anthropology in science fails. It describes the social scientific faith articulated by Hume, Kant, Rousseau, Schopenhauer among others.

What is it to be truly human at work? Why do so many people today ache to be more human at work? In this book, Lloyd E. Sandelands unites the metaphysics of Aristotle and Aquinas and the social teachings of the Catholic Church to describe how business leaders can help people in their organizations become more truly and fully human. Being at Work is a much-needed marriage of metaphysical philosophy and managerial common sense.

This book speaks to the need for God in business today. Together, the chapters of this book build toward a comprehensive ethic of business administration. God and Mammon finds that business today needs to serve the human person, who is a creative being in the image of God.

Contemporary culture puts human beings at the center of the universe. As a consequence, subjectivism is rampant. Sandelands sees humans as fundamentally spiritual beings, with spirit and body united, and therefore human sexuality as part of God's design. In contrast, today's culture encourages hedonism, indulgence, and permissiveness. "Anything goes" today, as long as it does not hurt anyone else. Sandelands believes this perspective is profou...
