  • Divine Causality and Created Freedom: a Thomistic Personalist View
    Nova et Vetera, English Edition, Vol. 14, No. 3 (2016): 919–963 919 Divine Causality and Created Freedom: A Thomistic Personalist View Mark K. Spencer University of St. Thomas Saint Paul, Minnesota Thomas Aquinas argues that God causes all beings other than himself and moves all of them to all their acts, including causing us and moving us to our free acts.1 This claim is connected to the set of issues surrounding the relation between created freedom and divine providence, predestination, and grace. A strong defender of the free- dom of created persons, such as a Thomistic personalist, might reject this aspect of Aquinas’s account and contend that to be free is to be “lord of one’s acts” (dominus sui actus).2 By this, the personalist would understand that the created free person is the ultimate determinant3 of whether he or she acts (I refer to this, following the Thomistic tradition, as the “exercise” of the act) and of what he or she does in those acts (the “content” or “specification” of the act). Throughout this article, I shall refer to the last sentence as the “personalist thesis” 1 Aquinas, Expositio libri Peryermeneias (hereafter, In Ph) I, lec. 14; Quaestiones disputatae de malo (hereafter, DM), q. 3, aa. 1–2; q. 6, a. un.; Quaestiones disputatae de potentia Dei (hereafter, DP), q. 3, aa. 5 and 7; Summa contra gentiles (hereafter, SCG) III, chs. 65 and 67; Summa Theologiae (hereafter, ST) I, q. 22, a. 2, ad 2; q. 104, a. 1; q. 105, aa. 4–5; I-II, q.

  • The Alleged Activity of Active Intellect: a Wild Goose Chase Or a Puzzle to Be Solved?1
    The alleged activity of active intellect: A wild goose chase or a puzzle to be solved?1 Sonia Kamińska Summary Trying to describe the activity of Aristotle’s active intellect, we will sooner or later realize that we cannot find its right description, because Aristotle did not provide for one. He left us with many ir- reconcilable statements and questions with no answers. In the fa- | LIV • 2014 w Nauce Zagadnienia Filozoficzne mous text Aristotle’s Two Intellects: a Modest Proposal Victor Cas- ton claims that Aristotle did not describe the activity, because there simply is no such activity and we should therefore identify nous poietikos with God, because God too does nothing. Trying to find this lacking description is like going on a wild goose chase – Caston argues. In my text I will show that his solution, albeit tempting, is in fact a kind of “dissolution” and that a wild goose chase, although for many doomed to failure, can be fruitful. I will do so by present- ing three groups or clusters of views on active intellect which – I believe – are philosophically significant. Caston’s proposal will be 1 �����������������������������������������������������������������This publication was supported by Copernicus Center for Interdis- ciplinary Studies under grant "The Limits of Scientific Explanation" founded by the John Templeton Foundation. 79 Sonia Kamińska one of them, but not the privileged one.

  • Yves R. Simon on the Nature and Role of Moral Philosophy / Ralph
    Yves R. Simon on the Nature and Role of Moral Philosophy Ralph Nelson In the latter stage of modem philosophy in the nineteenth century, lead­ ing thinkers stated their intention to overcome an objectionable antinomy by somehow combining theory and practice. Hegel remained a notable excep­ tion to this trend when he insisted that the philosophic science of right, and the state, was theoretical. Once those who argued, in opposition, that the task of philosophers was to change, not merely interpret the world, it was the theory of practice that was paramount. Of course, there were those who sim­ ply would do away with theory altogether and adopt a kind of practicalism, but usually, as with the utilitarians and positivists, some kind of theory was still required even if the main direction was practical. More recently, John Dewey, set out to overcome any dichotomy between theory and practice, knowing and doing, having discarded the idea of a purely theoretical philosophy. 1 Richard Rorty's version of pragmatism, free of Dewey's scientism, simply embraces localized practice.2 At least one well­ known proponent of the Analytic school has accepted the division oftheoretical and practical knowledge, but then proceeds to deal with ethical concepts in a completely theoretical fashion. 3 Parallel in many respects to Dewey, Habermas-searching for the tasks remaining to philosophical thought "af­ ter the breakdown of metaphysics"-maintained, "The future of philosophical thought is a matter of political practice."4 So the tendency apparent in anum- 1 The best source for Dewey's views on this topic is The Quest.for Certainty: A Study a( the Relation o.t' Knowledge and Action (New York: G.P.

Yocum This dissertation considers a spectrum of five distinct approaches that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomist Catholic thinkers utilized when engaging with the tradition of modern scientific psychology: a critical approach, a reformulation approach, a synthetic approach, a particular [Jungian] approach, and a personalist approach. This work argues that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomists were essentially united in their concerns about the metaphysical principles of many modern psychologists as well as in their worries that these same modern psychologists had a tendency to overlook the transcendent dimension of human existence. This work shows that the first four neo-Thomist thinkers failed to bring the traditions of neo-Thomism and modern psychology together to the extent that they suggested purely theoretical ways of reconciling them.
