The Future of Thomism

The essays in this collection voice the contemporary concerns of those who respect the perennial philosophy of St Thomas Aquinas. As with the admirers of St Thomas through the centuries since his death, the contributors exhibit varied and even opposing interpretations of his philosophical thought. The discussions range from various considerations of Thomism in regard to philosophical realism, as well as aspects of Thomistic metaphysics and ethics, to an exploration of what the future may hold for the philosophy designated as Thomism. All contributors agree that the philosophy of St Thomas offers the basis for a unique philosophical outlook that is a needed influence on the turmoil of modern and postmodern philosophical thinking.
