F. W. Stone, in the volume Mind, Metaphysics, and Value in the Thomistic and Analytical Traditions, ed. John Haldane (University of Notre Dame Press, 2002), have been subject to claims of plagiarism. The editor and publisher as a result cannot stand behind the noted material as originally contained in this volume. Interested readers can find original source material in Carlos Steele, “Natural Ends and Moral Ends According to Thomas Aquinas,” in Finalité et intentionnalité: Doctrine Thomiste et perspectives modernes, ed.

The article is actually about Kenny's thoughts on Aquinas and Wittgenstein. Most of the rest of the essay is about how we don't have access to our own thoughts (ie to the thomistic cognitive apparatus of species, etc., or introspection), epistemological privacy, and how Aquinas was really a theologian and so couldn't go all the way with Wittgenstein.Lee Faberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476833516234522602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-10962644492886626212013-08-01T15:53:17.978-04:002013-08-01T15:53:17.978-04:00I agree, if there's a case to made these quote...I agree, if there's a case to made these quotes aren't making it. <br /><br />And this: "Finally, for Aquinas intellectual knowledge was an active process, whereas Scotus regarded it as receptive, like sense-perception" is, I think, simply false.Michael Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191322302191384384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472139466585018053.post-27381798312848850422013-08-01T01:37:06.107-04:002013-08-01T01:37:06.107-04:00Not sure how verificationism has anything to do at...Not sure how verificationism has anything to do at all with univocity of being, and thus I do not see how Wittgenstein's rejection of the former has anything to do with Aquinas's contradicting the latter. Similarly with hylomorphism and logical atomism; knowledge of particulars and ostensive definition; etc. <br /><br />What are the connections supposed to be? Maybe I am just being dull here.awatkins909https://www.blogger.com/profile/04272494240109130737noreply@blogger.com
