| Summary: | Karl Rahner is not usually thought of as a feminist.

While Rahner’s explicit writings on women appear fragmentary and ambivalent, an investigation of the philosophical and theological underpinnings of Rahner’s theological anthropology shows that Karl Rahner’s understanding of human nature is imbued with a conception of sex and gender that constitutes an important contribution to an understanding of sex, gender, and human nature in theological anthropology in general and feminist theology in particular. |
