Available online. Full view. Green Library. Analytical Thomism: traditions in dialogue. Published online: 06 May Ten years on, this volume provides an assessment of the current state of analytic Thomism, including some critical voices both current and from back in By common consent, the list of major twentieth-century philosophers who may reasonably be said to be to greater or lesser degrees analytical Thomists includes Elizabeth Anscombe, Peter Geach, and Anthony Kenny.
The analytic Thomists collected in this volume are more minded to develop what Aquinas has to say, sometimes in very critical directions, than simply to adopt it wholesale, and this is all to the good. A Thomist is someone — they claim — who accepts certain key distinctive claims made by Aquinas: most notably, the real distinction between essence and c January 10, , Ars Disputandi.
Philosophy is the pursuit of truth, and it is scarcely credible that the beliefs of one medieval philosopher — albeit a highly able and significant one — settle the matter once and for all, despite nostalgic talk of a philosophia perennis. There is no a priori reason for being an ostrich Thomist: it is to the credit of the essays in this volume that they engage critically with Aquinas, giving reasons — by and large good reasons — for variously accepting or rejecting aspects of his thought.
This is thoughtful, intelligent and critical philosophy. And the philosophical ideas, insights, and arguments that form its content come from many quarters: not just from the latest number of Analysis, but from any of the great body of past philosophers. It is still the case that the work of many medieval philosophers is largely unknown in mod- ern philosophical circles, and it is certainly the case that many though of course not all of the philosophical issues of interest to modern philosophers engaged the interest of medieval philosophers too.
As I have just suggested, the scope for fruitful engagement with medieval philosophy extends much further than merely the thought of Aquinas: after all, it is easy anachronistically to overestimate the originality and significance of Aquinas in medieval philosophy.
Still, there is no doubt that Aquinas has as much to say of interest to modern philosophers as any other medieval philosopher has.
