SUMMARY:Metaphysics and the Soul in Thomas Aquinas
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will be a five-day\, intensive discussion of St Thomas Aquinas’s account of the nature of the soul\, with particular attention paid to the metaphysical principles on which it rests. The sessions will center on Summa Theologiae\, I\, qq. 75-77\, concerning the soul in itself\, its essential relation to the body\, and its role as the primary principle of vital activity. Participants will also discuss relevant passages from other works of St. Thomas\, as well as his historical influences (such as Plato\, Aristotle\, and Augustine) and some contemporary literature on the topic. Finally\, the seminar will take up related issues\, such as Aquinas’s understanding of the relation between metaphysics and theology\, his handling of the Augustinian tradition\, his reaction to the Averroists\, and how his account of the soul relates to later philosophical developments such as Cartesianism and personalism. \nFormat: There will be two 2 ½ hour sessions each day. Each session will include an opening lecture and seminar-style discussion of the text and the issues at hand. Students will be expected to prepare the readings carefully and participate in the discussions of the material. \nLocation: The seminar will take place at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross\, Rome. Students will be provided with a travel stipend\, accommodations\, and meals. \nApplication Information:
