PHL 3066 - Augustine and Aquinas

Institution:

Manhattanville College

Subject:

Description:

Augustine and Aquinas are two of the great pillars of Western thought generally, and of Christian philosophy specifically. Both constructed extraordinary theological systems which deal with the tenets drawn from revelation. Both also dealt with exquisitely philosophical problems such as the objectivity of human knowledge, the nature of reality, the nature of man's ultimate end, without explicitly recurring to theological tenets. This course will give an overview of their philosophical thought. The problems we shall cover include: (1) Is human knowledge objective?; (2) can man know God?; (3) how does faith alter rational systems? (4) what is the human person?; (4) what is the will?
