Finished reading: Saint Thomas Aquinas by G. K. Chesterton 📚 I took an introduction to philosophy class. I was excited about everything I learned, but at the time, St. Aquinas was a drag. I couldn’t wait to move on to the next philosopher. Some months ago, I listened to an episode of the Pints with Aquinas podcast, and the host and guest expressed their fondness for Chesterton’s Dumb Ox. Now having read it, I need to revisit St. Aquinas’s writings.
“In the subjectivist, the pressure of the world forces the imagination inwards. In the Thomist, the energy of the mind forces the imagination outwards, but because the images it seeks are real things.” —G. K. Chesterton
