	Thomism
		In a broad sense, Thomism is the name given to the system which follows the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas in philosophical and theological questions.
		To Thomism in the first sense are opposed, e.g., the Scotists, who deny that satisfaction is a part of the proximate matter (materia proxima) of the Sacrament of Penance.
		The fifteenth and sixteenth centuries saw Thomism in a triumphal march which led to the crowning of St. Thomas as the Prince of Theologians, when his "Summa was laid beside the Sacred Scriptures at the Council of Trent, and St. Pius V, in 1567, proclaimed him a Doctor of the Universal Church.

	Thomism, Thomas Aquinas
		Thomism is the school of philosophy and theology following the thought of Thomas Aquinas.
		Thomism would not adapt itself; and so the alternatives left were obscurantism or non - Thomistic philosophy.
		Consequently, though Thomism was still alive, primarily in Dominican circles, in the eighteenth century, it was essentially a spent force.

	Thomism - Theopedia
		Thomism is a philosophical scool of thought following the teachings of Thomas Aquinas, especially as contained in his most famous summary work, Summa Theologica, the importance of which the Roman Catholic church arguably regards as second only to the Bible.
		Thomism also influenced the birth of Protestantism, which arose partially as a reaction to the authoritarian, Thomic dogma of the Catholic Church.
		However, the ethical parts of Thomism, as well as a large part of its views on life, humans, and theology, transcended into the various schools of Neothomism that are the official dogma of the Roman Catholic Church today.

	Difficulties with Thomism
		Thomism is not simply a set of propositions which are true or false, since it is concerned to elucidate that very notion itself.
		This problem seems to be acknowledged by Thomism in the vagueness of descriptions of the soul, such as that the soul is the life of the animal.
		The difficulties with Thomism, which I have outlined, were outlined so briefly that it is unlikely to be your fault if you fail to understand, or fail to appreciate the significance of, some remarks.

	The State of Catholic Theology Today
		Thomism went on to spread throughout the Church, and was revitalized by a great deal of fine scholarship.
		As an official doctrine, Thomism began to take on the color of the Church's institutional structures; it became both authoritative and defensive, both traits that were not intrinsic to Thomism, itself, or to St. Thomas.
		The traditionalists often maintain roots in the neo-scholasticism, as well as the Thomism of the past, and so the limitations of this position are similar to the limitations that Thomism suffered under in the earlier part of the century.

	Thomism - Free net encyclopedia
		Template:Christian theology Thomism is the philosophical school that followed in the legacy of Thomas Aquinas.
		The ensuing school of thought, through its influence on Catholicism and the ethics of the Catholic school, is by any standard one of the most influential philosophies of all time, also significant due to the sheer number of people living by its teachings.
		However, the ethical parts of Thomism, as well as a large part of its views on life, humans, and theology, transcended into the various schools of Neothomism (after the 1879 encyclical Aeterni Patris which sanctioned the revival of Thomism) that are the official philosophy of the Roman Catholic Church today.

		The synthesis of Thomism and contemporary analytic philosophy is thus not going to happen unless it is with that part of analytic philosophy that is open to at least the possibility of God’s existence.
		Thomism is seen as dogmatic and as being out of date in a way which implies the impossibility of reconciliation with modern trends of thinking.
		The point is not that Thomism will make sense in the twenty-first century only when we forget about the primacy of existence or about the intelligibility of the world (referring for example to the non-lawlikeness which obtains at the quantum level).

	Aquinas & Thomism
		After an overview of Thomism in the twentieth century, the remaining chapters treat the relationship between religious claims and other truth claims, religious language (especially analogy), theology and science, suffering and evil, religion and morality, human nature and destiny, God, and religious pluralism.
		After Aquinas: Versions of Thomism by Fergus Kerr (Blackwell Publishers) (Paperback) Written by a leading theologian, this new account of the writings of Thomas Aquinas and their interpretation by modern commentators reflects the major revival of interest in his work.
		The Thomism that emerges is strikingly at odds with that which we often encounter in the secular or Protestant "textbook traditions," where Thomas's God is a barren "First Cause" or abstract "immutable substance," for example.

	1998 Aquinas Lecture
		Indeed it was their ill-preparedness to engage modern thought rather than weaknesses within Thomism itself that lead to the marginalisation of the tradition in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
		Here the sources were several: Thomism as represented by French interpreters; phenomenology as advocated by Roman Ingarden (1893-1970) who had been a student of Husserl (1859-1938); and logic and philosophy of science.
		Whereas Maritain presented Thomism as if it were a set of timeless ideas, Gilson distinguished between the teachings of Aquinas and those of later commentators who sometimes imported their own views or sought to synthesise Thomism with approaches current in their own day.

		Nor does it mean that a Catholic philosopher not a Thomist must have a deficient relation to the teaching Church and must be an accomplice to the confusion that presently wracks the Church.
		This is not the first time I have seen Thomism used in a way that cramps and constrains the freedom Catholic philosophers need to do their work.
		The Church since the Council seems to be aware of the danger of prescribing Thomism too strictly; in any case, the old recommendation of St. Thomas as philosopher has been significantly weakened.

		Descartes’ dream and hallucination possibilities, and the relativity in perception hammered on by the empiricists explain why, since the modern period, no philosophers of note have espoused that the data of sensation is self-manifestly real.
		Transcendental Thomism claims to be a more in depth presentation of the human knower than was achieved by Immanuel Kant.
		Christian philosophy, of which Thomism is a model example, follows a methodology in which faith prompts one’s thinking to the limits and so helps to avoid the limitedness of viewpoint and framework that is the bane of “historical,” i.e., secular, forms of philosophy.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Neo-Scholasticism
		It is not merely the resuscitation of a philosophy long since defunct, but rather a restatement in our own day of the philosophia perennis which, elaborated by the Greeks and brought to perfection by the great medieval teachers, has never ceased to exist even in modern times.
		But Thomism is too narrow a term; the system itself is too large and comprehensive to be expressed by the name of any single exponent.
		This article will deal with the elements which neo-Scholasticism takes over from the past; the modifications which adapt it to the present; the welcome accorded it by contemporary thought and the outlook for its future; its leading representatives and centres.

	Thomism
		I believe there is some treasure for philosophers of religion in the Thomistic tradition, and this book provides something of a guide to it.
		Meanwhile, within the cultural world in which Thomism had revived and been developed, the Catholic Church was moving towards an 'aggiornamento' or opening up of itself to the wider world, and particularly to modern culture.
		It may, however, soon have to deal with a threat from medieval scholarship: anachronism is always a risk when one calls on earlier thinkers to refute current arguments.

		First it must be recognized that Thomism was always alive in the Dominican Order, small as it was after the ravages of the Reformation, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic occupation.
		For the beginnings of Italian Thomism outside the Dominican Order five men are generally singled out for their substantial contribution -- Canon Buzzetti, the two Sordi brothers who became Jesuits, the Jesuit Liberatore, and the diocesan priest Sanseverino.
		The point is that for them, scholasticism in general and Thomism in particular is too systematic, too essentialist and dry for a vital capable of moving modern man to spiritual heights.
