Synopsis

This reconciliation resolves important tensions between Aristotelian science and Christian doctrine. Further, Rosental examines three contemporary accounts of what qualifies as an epistemically responsible belief and argues that under Aquinass account, faith should be counted as rational, and in an important, though modified sense, as justified.

About the Author

Creighton Rosental was inspired by the Socratic approach to philosophy of the buzzing horsefly attempting to wake the slumbering beast of society. He still pursues this goal, though mitigated somewhat by the practical considerations of being an academic. He first confronted the necessity of practicality while earning a PhD in Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and currently by teaching in the Philosophy department at Mercer University.
