Exploring Personhood

The podcast delves into the concept of personhood, primarily through the lens of Ratzinger's theological framework. Ratzinger challenges the traditional Thomistic view that defines a person merely as a rational substance, arguing instead that personhood is inherently tied to relationality. This perspective suggests that an individual's identity is established through their relationships rather than existing in isolation. Such a shift brings personhood into crucial discussions in ethical debates, foundationally influencing how individuals are recognized and understood in various philosophical contexts.
