What does Thomas Aquinas have to offer us today?
Well, perhaps the best way to get... Well I mean, this is the... the brief answer to that question is he…
…he synthesizes the Fathers and the Scriptures and in a way that is timeless,
even if the way of expression is sometimes difficult to become accustomed to.
But I think the best way to come to that, to see his value, is by turning to
some of the philosophers from the Anglo-American tradition of Analytic Philosophy,
that, once -- through the help of Wittgenstein -- they were able to get rid of a Cartesian view of the moral life and of the acting self,
they returned to the great questions:
the question of what does it mean to live a human life; what does it mean to flourish.
And once you start asking the questions of the full integral human life:
what does it mean to live a human life,
the Medievals and the Ancients can have a role to play in that conversation,
so Aquinas brings to the table the ancient insights of Scripture,
but also a philosophical reflection about what it means to live a human life.
And he also provides, I think, a method for reflecting on Revelation,
where we begin with what is more known to try to understand by analogy what is less known,
to understand the mystery of God the Father through the experience of human fatherhood,
to try to understand the mystery of the infused virtues by reflecting on the mystery or human experience of the acquired traits of character.
So he provides a method that is always helpful, always with us.
