One Thomist disliked this.
I wonder how Dr. Hart would respond to the fact that Etienne Gilson was a doctrinaire Thomist, but also one of the most celebrated philosophers of the early 20th century? It seems "factionalism" doesn't always lead to a narrow, and unfruitful focus.
He was a very independent Thomist. He also was a very historicaly minded. And thus was able actually to see and draw on the metaphysics of St. Thomas, rather than that of his commentators seeing for instance the primacy of "esse" in the thought of Aquinas. There are reasons why he was an ally with De Lubac who recovered the doctrine of the Fathers and of the real St. Thomas on nature and grace.
DBH ... too much cultivated affectation (yes, it is a choice for him) to endure. the well-wrought sphincter
A thought, can Hart answer a question in 3 sentences or less, btw that young lady looks as if she hasnt a clue as to what he is talking about. I love DBH but he REALLY makes you think even just to follow him on a point he is making, he probably does not have a desire to be more popular in the mainstream, but if he does he has got to be more plain , for lack of better term, he uses some very vague adjectives, every person is not a PHD.
what are you even saying? He's perfectly comprehensible
Don't tell an Olympian gymnast to simplify their routine for the sake of popular appeal. He's not gifted as a popular appeal theologian, he is gifted as a world-class, scholarly theologian. Let him be what he is.
@@chanting_germ. You know what is funny in these comments, just about everyone says basically, well just smarten up, and listen I get it that Harr is a PHD, with a great vocabulary, in more than 1 language, the guy is brilliant, but what about the student who is just coming into their own, right, they probably, or possibly might give up on Hart before giving him a chance, with the way that he goes out of his way to use difficult terms, and it could even hurt him in book sales, so all of you geniuses who are taking up for him, remember his editors might be telling him that he could be more ecsesable to more people if he just reeled it in a bit. Having said that though, the guy is flat out brilliant, I love the guy.
