- Description
- Contrasts the "quasi-heretical," "so-called Augustinian" views of sex in marriage as always sinful with those of Thomas Aquinas and others who treat sexual love in marriage as sinless when consistent with "amicitia" (friendship) and reason, arguing that the latter underlies Chaucer's view of sex in marriage in ParsT, analogous material in Peraldus's "Summa Aurea de Virtutibus et de Vitiis," and PF.
