“The Dignity of Being a Substance”

Apr 27
Metaphysics and the Soul in Thomas Aquinas

This event has passed.

Co-sponsored by the Committee on Social Thought and the Program in Medieval Studies

Thomas Aquinas characterized the person as “what is most perfect” and “most worthy” in all of nature. What grounds the dignity of the human being as a person? While in our day a metaphysical approach to the question is undervalued, this lecture attempts to show the value of such an approach in terms of “substance” and “nature.”
