Aquinas and Radical Orthodoxy: A Critical Inquiry by Paul DeHart (English) Paper

Description: Aquinas and Radical Orthodoxy by Paul DeHart Aquinas and Radical Orthodoxy is a clearly written critique of John Milbanks and Catherine Pickstocks controversial portrayal of Aquinas as a forerunner of Radical Orthodoxy. It sketches the genesis of the movement, probes the nature and limits of its appeal to Aquinas, and investigates the range of key epistemological, metaphysical and dogmatic issues at stake. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Aquinas and Radical Orthodoxy investigates the encounter of the most vibrant and controversial trend in recent theology with the greatest Christian thinker of the Middle Ages. The book describes Radical Orthodoxys orientation and highlights those anti-secular strategies and intellectual influences that have shaped its appeal to Aquinas. It surveys the emergence of the particular picture of Aquinas especially associated with the leaders of Radical Orthodoxy, John Milbank and his student Catherine Pickstock, along with the scholarly disputes which prompted and followed that development. The book then undertakes a detailed investigation of the pivotal publications on Aquinas of those two authors, laying out their difficult theories in clear language, carefully examining the texts of Aquinas to which they appeal, and challenging their interpretations on a number of fundamental points. Topics covered include: analogical language and knowledge of God, the role of metaphysics within theology, the relation of cognition to the divine archetypes of things, the possibility of human apprehension of Gods essence, the nature of substance, and speculation on the Trinity. The conclusion reflects on those elements suppressed by the Radical Orthodox reading of Aquinas, their constructive philosophical and theological possibilities, and the challenges they present to the Radical Orthodox project.
