Neo-Thomism

Neo-Thomism is a philosophical movement that revived and modernized the ideas of 13th-century theologian Thomas Aquinas. It aims to integrate faith and reason, emphasizing that human knowledge and divine truth complement each other. Neo-Thomists focus on principles like the existence of God, natural law, and the use of logical analysis to understand moral and theological questions. This movement became influential in the Catholic Church, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries, shaping teachings and promoting a rational approach to faith. It seeks to balance tradition with contemporary philosophical methods, fostering dialogue between religion and science.
