Dr. Turner Nevitt on "How to Be an Analytic Existential Thomist" (Colloquium Series Talk)

Talking Thomism

Dr. Turner Nevitt is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of San Diego. In his talk "How to Be an Analytic Existential Thomist," Dr. Nevitt defends the Thomistic doctrine that existence is a real property against traditional critiques by analytic philosophers. Nevitt argues that, besides Aquinas' own arguments, there are solid analytic grounds for adopting the Thomistic conception of existence. This talk was given at the Center for Thomistic Studies on February 2, 2018. The Center for Thomistic Studies, located at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX, is the only graduate program in the United States uniquely dedicated to the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas.
