The Catholic Church speaks about Aquinas as a common doctor of theological and philosophical research. But what could that mean today in the context of the Church’s life in Asia with its diverse cultures and religious as well as secular philosophical traditions? What does it mean to speak realistically about Aquinas for Asia?
This day-long conference at the Angelicum will explore Aquinas’s thought in conversation with classical Hindu traditions, principles of Buddhist doctrine, and elements from classical and contemporary Chinese and Southeast Asian political thought. The aim is to explore seeds of thinking for the evangelization and profound Catholic engagement of contemporary Asian cultures.
