Neo-Thomism in action
law and society reshaped by Neo-Scholastic philosophy 1880-1960
In his encyclical Aeterni Patris (1879), Pope Leo XIII expressed the conviction that the renewed study of the philosophical legacy of Saint Thomas Aquinas would help Catholics to engage in a dialogue with secular modernity while maintaining respect for Church doctrine and tradition.

Orpheus Institute Machinic assemblages of desire
Deleuze and Artistic Research 3

Summistae
the commentary tradition on Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae from the 15th to the 17th centuries
Thomas Aquinas' Summa theologiae is one of the classics in the history of theology and philosophy.

Ioannis Papachristou John Philoponus on Physical Place
This book examines the place of physical bodies, a major topic of natural philosophy that has occupied philosophers since antiquity. Aristotle's conceptions of place (topos) and the void (kenon), as expounded in the Physics, were systematically repudiated by John Philoponus (ca. 485-570) in his philosophical commentary on that work. The primary philosophical concern of the present study is the in-depth investigation of the concept of place established by Philoponus, putting forward the claim that...
