The twentieth century witnessed considerable debate over the
question of the possibility of a "Christian philosophy,"
particularly in light of the revival of Thomism initiated by the
papal encyclical Aeterni Patris. Two major figures of that revival
were Etienne Gilson and Bernard Lonergan, both of whom read Aquinas
in quite different ways. Nonetheless, this work brings these two
authors into conversation on the possibility of a Christian
philosophy. Gilson was a great proponent of the term, and while
Lonergan does not use it, he does speak of "Christian realism."
Both display a lively interaction of faith and philosophical
positions, while maintaining a clear distinction between philosophy
and theology. Debates continue in the twenty-first century, but the
context has shifted, with Radical Orthodoxy and new atheism
standing at opposite ends of a spectrum of positions on the
relationship between faith and reason. This work will demonstrate
how the two thinkers, Gilson and Lonergan, may still contribute to
a better understanding of this relationship and so shed light on
contemporary issues.
