Theology of the Body

Love and Responsibility:

Karol Wojtyla (later Pope John Paul II) published his seminal text Love and Responsibility in 1960 as a philosophical exploration of human relationships. The text is very dense, and here I offer my own attempts to summarise the key ideas. Like all abridgements, detail is inevitably lost, and the selection of 'truly important' ideas to summarise is always subjective. Nevertheless, I hope my attempt will be useful.
