Titolo: Cicero and Aquinas on the Virtue of Religion
Luogo edizione: Washington
Editore: The Catholic University of America
Anno edizione: 2023
Pagine: 85
Parole chiave: Héritage - Fortuna - Legacy, Religion - Religione - Religion
Descrizione: This thesis has three goals, following from this historical outline: the first is to articulate Cicero’s conception of religio as he described it in his ancient Roman and pagan context; the second is to articulate Aquinas’s conception of religio as he described it in his medieval Christian context; and the third is to show, from a Christian point of view, both the fact and the way that Aquinas fills in Cicero’s understanding of what true religion would be. While this is not a theology thesis, and Aquinas believes that one could know much more about God by reason (aided by grace) than what Cicero or his contemporaries articulated, Aquinas also affirms that there are certain truths about the divine nature, and even about the nature of the universe, that natural human reason is not able to definitively settle. Therefore, in the conclusion, we will discuss how Aquinas supplements and perfects Cicero’s articulation of true religion using both natural human reason and divinely-provided revelation. [Author]
