Description
After Wittgenstein, St Thomas by Roger Pouivet and Michael Sherwin is a thought-provoking exploration of the connection between Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy and Thomas Aquinas's philosophical anthropology. Pouivet argues that Wittgenstein's critique of Cartesian dualism can help us better understand the value of Aquinas's externalist view of knowledge and moral agency. By examining Wittgenstein's ideas, Pouivet shows how they can lead to a more nuanced understanding of the human person, one that is less haunted by lingering Cartesian dualisms. This book invites readers to consider their own assumptions about the nature of the self and the mind-body relationship. A contribution from Roger Pouivet, a professor of philosophy at the University of Nancy, France, this slim volume draws on the work of other philosophers to advance its argument.
