  • Philosophy and Humanities
    Philosophy and Humanities LT 502 - Elementary Latin II (3) Students advance to the more complex syntax and irregular morphology of classical Latin as well as to the rudiments of rhetorical stylistics. Tools of historical linguistics are introduced so that students can master the changes in orthography that occur to the language between the classical and medieval period. PH 512 - Medieval Philosophy (3) In this course students will read important philosophic works by medieval authors as well as some historical and critical studies by more recent writers. St. Thomas Aquinas will receive special attention. The aim will be to bring medieval philosophers to light and to see the continuing relevance of the issues they raised and the answers they proposed. PH 514 - Recent Philosophy (3) This course appraises the various intellectual developments that emerged in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries – an era that has been marked by a declining confidence in achievements of systematic achievements of philosophical reasoning. It begins with a careful overview of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit, perhaps one of the last works in the Western canon to offer a synoptic overview of human experience and knowledge. Though generally rejected in its scope and organization, a number of its chapters have served as the basis of some of the particular problems that have drawn the attention of later thinkers. Thus, this course proceeds with the study of various philosophical movements of later modernity which include: Existentialism, Phenomenology, Analytical Philosophy, Hermeneutics, Deconstructionism, Pragmatism. Concluding the historical survey of Western philosophy, it considers many of the same topics of inquiry, but does so, as the previous three historical courses, in the light of the various cultural and scientific factors that determine its context.

  • Catholicism and the Natural Law: a Response to Four Misunderstandings
    religions Article Catholicism and the Natural Law: A Response to Four Misunderstandings Francis J. Beckwith Department of Philosophy, Baylor University, Waco, TX 76710, USA; [email protected] Abstract: This article responds to four criticisms of the Catholic view of natural law: (1) it commits the naturalistic fallacy, (2) it makes divine revelation unnecessary, (3) it implausibly claims to establish a shared universal set of moral beliefs, and (4) it disregards the noetic effects of sin. Relying largely on the Church’s most important theologian on the natural law, St. Thomas Aquinas, the author argues that each criticism rests on a misunderstanding of the Catholic view. To accomplish this end, the author first introduces the reader to the natural law by way of an illustration he calls the “the ten (bogus) rules.” He then presents Aquinas’ primary precepts of the natural law and shows how our rejection of the ten bogus rules ultimately relies on these precepts (and inferences from them). In the second half of the article, he responds directly to each of the four criticisms. Keywords: Catholicism; natural law theory; Aquinas; naturalistic fallacy The purpose of this article is to respond to several misunderstandings of the Catholic view of the natural law. I begin with a brief account of the natural law, relying primarily on the work of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Church’s most important theologian on this subject. Citation: Beckwith, Francis J.. 2021. I then move on and offer replies to four criticisms of the natural law that I argue rest on Catholicism and the Natural Law: A misunderstandings: (1) the natural law commits the so-called “naturalistic fallacy,” (2) the Response to Four Misunderstandings.

  • Religion As a Virtue: Thomas Aquinas on Worship Through Justice, Law
    RELIGION AS A VIRTUE: THOMAS AQUINAS ON WORSHIP THROUGH JUSTICE, LAW, AND CHARITY Submitted by Robert Jared Staudt A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctorate in Theology Director: Dr. Matthew Levering Ave Maria University 2008 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER ONE: THE CLASSICAL AND PATRISTIC TRADITION CHAPTER TWO: THE MEDIEVAL CONTEXT CHAPTER THREE: WORSHIP IN THE WORKS OF ST. THOMAS AQUINAS CHAPTER FOUR: JUSTICE AS ORDER TO GOD CHAPTER FIVE: GOD’S ASSISTANCE THROUGH LAW CHAPTER SIX: TRUE WORSHIP IN CHRIST CONCLUSION BIBLIOGRAPHY ABBREVIATIONS 2 INTRODUCTION Aquinas refers to religion as virtue. What is the significance of such a claim? Georges Cottier indicates that “to speak today of religion as a virtue does not come across immediately as the common sense of the term.”1 He makes a contrast between a sociological or psychological evaluation of religion, which treats it as “a religious sentiment,” and one which strives for truth.2 The context for the second evaluation entails both an anthropological and Theistic context as the two meet within the realm of the moral life. Ultimately, the study of religion as virtue within the moral life must be theological since it seeks to under “the true end of humanity” and “its historic condition, marked by original sin and the gift of grace.”3 Aquinas places religion within the context of a moral relation to God, as a response to God’s initiative through Creation and 4 Redemption. 1 Georges Cardinal Cottier. “La vertu de religion.” Revue Thomiste (jan-juin 2006): 335. 2 Joseph Bobik also distinguished between different approaches to the study of religion, particularly theological, philosophical, and scientific, all of which would give different answers to the question “what is religion?.” Veritas Divina: Aquinas on Divine Truth: Some Philosophy of Religion.

  • Fr. Thomas Kuzhinappurathu.Pmd
    INTRODUCTION The only Christian law we have is the law of love – love of God and love of neighbour. Jesus said, “I give you a new commandment that you love one another” (Jn.13, 34). All other laws are supposed to be specifications of the law of love. They are meant to help us to love God and our neighbour better in specific situations. The 1546 canons of the Code of Canons of the Oriental Churches (CCEO) are meant to promote this law of love. It is also noteworthy that the new code of canons gives great importance to pastoral exigencies. In confronting the Pharisees Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for humankind, not humankind for the Sabbath” (Mk.2, 27). Here Jesus teaches that laws should be framed for the good of man. They are not meant to enslave people. It further implies that every law must be discussed in order to be more fully understood. Some laws are time-bound and culturally conditioned. If they are obsolete they should be changed and replaced with more useful laws. I remember my friend Fr. Augustine Joseph telling me about a recent movie called, Provoked. It is a true story about a Punjabi girl who marries a Punjabi boy settled in London. As their marriage progresses the girl suffers great violence from her husband. Unable to stand it any longer she one day sets her husband on fire as he sleeps. She is arrested by the police and convicted for the crime. A human rights organization in London takes up her case and appeals for a retrial.

  • Commentary on Thomas Aquinas's Treatise On
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02939-2 - Commentary on Thomas Aquinas’s: Treatise on Law J. Budziszewski Frontmatter More information Commentary on Thomas Aquinas’s Treatise on Law Natural moral law stands at the center of Western ethics and jurispru- dence and plays a leading role in interreligious dialogue. Although the greatest source of the classical natural law tradition is Thomas Aquinas’s Treatise on Law , the Treatise is notoriously diffi cult, especially for non- specialists. J. Budziszewski has made this formidable work luminous. This book – the fi rst classically styled, line-by-line commentary on the Treatise in centuries – reaches out to philosophers, theologians, social scientists, students, and general readers alike. Budziszewski shows how the Treatise facilitates a dialogue between author and reader. Explaining and expanding upon the text in light of modern philosophical develop- ments, he expounds this work of the great thinker not by diminishing his reasoning, but by amplifying it. J. Budziszewski is a Professor of Government and Philosophy at the University of Texas, Austin. He also teaches courses in the religious studies department and in the law school, and he maintains a personal scholarly website, www.undergroundthomist.org . Dr. Budziszewski has published widely in both scholarly journals and magazines of broader readership. His books include The Resurrection of Nature: Political Theory and the Human Character (1986); The Nearest Coast of Darkness: A Vindication of the Politics of Virtues (1988); True Tolerance: Liberalism and the Necessity of Judgment (1992); Written on the Heart: The Case for Natural Law (1997), winner of a Christianity Today book award in 1998; The Revenge of Conscience: Politics and the Fall of Man (1999); What We Can’t Not Know: A Guide (2003); Evangelicals in the Public Square: Four Formative Voices (2006); Natural Law for Lawyers (2006); The Line Through the Heart: Natural Law as Fact, Theory, and Sign of Contradiction (2009); and On the Meaning of Sex (2012).

Answer all questions in complete sentences. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was a Scholastic theologian and philosopher, a Dominican friar, a professor at the University of Paris and later at his own school near Naples. The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, a peer-reviewed on-line philosophy journal, provides an excellent summary of his life and works (http://www.iep.utm.edu/aquinas/). His writings were hugely influential even during his lifetime, and remain the foundation for Catholic understanding of philosophy, theology, law, and ethics to this day. They represent the highest development of medieval thought just before the Renaissance. Francesco Petrarca or “Petrarch” (1304-1374) was a poet and scholar, sometimes called “the father of humanism,” born the son of a notary in Arezzo, just south of Florence, Italy. He studied law and then entered the church for a living, but his interest was always in literature, not a highly respected field at the time.

  • The Thomistic Conception of Natural Law: Does It Commit the Naturalistic Fallacy?
    Running head: THOMISTIC NATURAL LAW 1 The Thomistic Conception of Natural Law: Does It Commit the Naturalistic Fallacy? Maria Magdalen Owen A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2011 THOMISTIC NATURAL LAW 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ David Baggett, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Mark Foreman, Ph.D. Committee Member _______________________________ Gai Ferdon, Ph.D. Committee Member ________________________________ Marilyn Gadomski, Ph.D. Assistant Honors Director ________________________________ Date THOMISTIC NATURAL LAW 3 Abstract Does Thomistic Natural Law theory commit the naturalistic fallacy? Ralph McInerny seems to think that Thomistic Natural Law, as Thomas Aquinas himself articulates it, escapes any potentially defeating criticism derived from the Naturalistic fallacy as described most notably by G. E. Moore and David Hume, which states that morality is not derivable from any natural property. The naturalistic fallacy, if successful in its purpose, deals a fatal blow to the school of moral philosophy that strives to adhere to traditional Thomism. In response to the criticism rooted in the Naturalistic fallacy, scholars like John Finnis insist that Thomistic Natural Law must, at the very least, undergo a re-articulation to answer this challenge. Their theory, new Natural Law Theory, subtly, but significantly departs from Thomism by replacing the telos with a deontological ethic. Thomistic Natural Law, traditionally understood, has much to offer contemporary philosophy in its own right—independent of newer, similar theories, and does not need any major revision to answer the challenge posed by either version of the naturalistic fallacy.

  • The Future of Thomism: an Introduction
    THE FUTURE OF THOMISM: AN INTRODUCTION Deal W. Hudson Thomism usually comes in horrible wrappers. -Flannery O'Connor In spite of her complaint, the lady Thomist from Milledgeville, Georgia, read the Summa in bed every night before going to sleep. It was only where she read St. Thomas that was unusual. In fact, when she was reading St. Thomas and complaining about Thomism, his name was often heard and welcomed in, Catholic circles. Twentieth-century dis- ciples like Jacques Maritain, Etienne Gilson, Josef Pieper, Mortimer J. Adler,andYvesR.Sirnonweremuchinvogue,informingwhatwewould now call the "mainstream" of Catholic thought. All of this influence, it can be noted, in spite of the bad packaging. These days Thomism plays a minor role in philosophy at large, though a somewhat greater one among Catholic and Christian philoso­ phers. It is hard to say whether Thomistic exteriors are as gruff now as they once appeared to the author of Wise Blood, or whether its image is even the problem. We now enjoy access to a "readable" abridged Summa Theologiae in English with the form of the articles removed. 1 Who knows whether putting St. Thomas into modem prose will do the trick of making him popular again? There must still be readers coming to the Summa for the first time who find themselves anachronistically attracted to the old layout, objections, sed contra, response, replies, the spaces in between providing the silence for reflecticm and anticipation. But for those who love St. Thomas any attempt to let him speak to the present age has to be appreciated: because something has gone amiss.

  • Full of Grace and Truth: the Sacramental Economy According to Thomas Aquinas
    FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH: THE SACRAMENTAL ECONOMY ACCORDING TO THOMAS AQUINAS Joseph Dominic Vnuk BSc(Hons), BA, DipEd, MTh(Hons) Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2013 i ii ABSTRACT Full of Grace and Truth: The Sacramental Economy according to Thomas Aquinas Neo-Thomism misread Aquinas by trying to find in him answers to questions posed by Descartes and Kant, producing a theology that people like Chauvet rightly abandoned. This thesis, on the other hand, proposes a decidedly pre-modern reading of Thomas. It begins with two basic structures of Thomas' thought - a threefold notion of truth (so that truth is ontological as well as epistemological), and an understanding of exitus-reditus that shows its links to “archaic” concepts such as the hau of the Maori. Then it considers human life in terms of merit and thus “economy,” (exchange of valuables); but this economy is a gift economy, and here we consider the gift in the light of Seneca (whom Thomas took as an authority) and Mauss, as well as using Allard's insights into how debt, particularly debt to God, generates what in Thomas takes the place of the Cartesian subject. In this light grace is seen as the spirit of the gift with which God graces us, giving rise to gratitude. We then consider Christ as graced and gracing us, first of all by our configuration to him in the sacraments (using the analogy of clothes), followed by a conformation in grace. We look at this in baptism and penance, but then we take the Eucharist as a three-fold sign, and show how it generates in us faith, hope and love.

  • The Relation Between Natural Law and Human Law in Thomas Aquinas
    The Catholic Lawyer Volume 21 Number 1 Volume 21, Winter 1975, Number 1 Article 5 The Relation Between Natural Law and Human Law in Thomas Aquinas Raymond Bradley Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.stjohns.edu/tcl Part of the Catholic Studies Commons, and the Natural Law Commons This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Journals at St. John's Law Scholarship Repository. It has been accepted for inclusion in The Catholic Lawyer by an authorized editor of St. John's Law Scholarship Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. THE RELATION BETWEEN NATURAL LAW AND HUMAN LAW IN THOMAS AQUINAS RAYMOND BRADLEY* The question as to exactly how the natural law is related to human or positive law in the thought of Thomas Aquinas may be answered with the well-known but deceptively simple response: "Consequently every human law has just so much of the nature of law, as it is derived from the law of nature. But if at any point it deflects from the law of nature, it is no longer a law but a perversion of law."' For Aquinas all human laws are derived from the natural law, which in turn is a participation in the eternal law of God. What the relation of human laws to the eternal and natural law is and precisely how human laws are derived from the natural law in the legal philosophy of St. Thomas will be examined in some detail. Thomas defines human laws as "particular determinations [of natu- ral law] devised by human reason."' We note first that human laws are further specifications of the natural law and that these are made by man.

REVIEWS On the next few pages, the DE PAUL LAW REVIEW presents what it believes to be a new and stimulating approach to law review book sections. Customarily, this space is devoted to comment on new works only. It was felt, however, that lawyers and students would benefit from a re-examination of outstanding legal treatises -writings which bad already made an imprint on the law and be- come classics. This thought seemed entirely in keeping with the tradition of the law which, more than any other art, analyzes the past so that the present and future may be more readily under- stood.
