Anselmian Meditation: Imagination, Aporia and ArgumentSaint Anselm Journal 9 (1): 1-14. 2013.The claim of this paper is that there is a common form of reflection in Anselm’s prayers and the Proslogion and Monologion.

The philosophical meditations are, like the prayers, the product of an imaginative project, in this …Read more

Albert the Great, by contrast, giv…Read more

38From Determined Motion to Undetermined Will and Nature to Supernature in AquinasPhilosophical Topics 20 (2): 189-214. 1992.This essay will focus on analogies drawn from Aristotle’s account of natural motion and change which Thomas Aquinas uses to construct responses and explanations of free choice and its characteristic act, i.e. creation for God, and acts of virtue for human beings. Though these analogies to natural change recur throughout the Thomistic corpus, my analysis will focus on their use in the Summa Theologiae, where they consistently bear the weight of Aquinas’s account of the divine and human will and t…Read more
