"How to Fix Thought on God" – Aquinas Lecture at UDallas

Dr. Michael Gorman, professor of philosophy at the Catholic University of America, speaks on “How to Fix Thought on God.” Gorman walks through a logical progression, defining modes and degrees of thought with relevant examples and then applying those terms to the more complex matter of thinking about God. Employing the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas and references to scripture, Gorman compels us to understand the ways that God makes Himself available as an object of cognition for humanity.The annual St. Thomas Aquinas Lecture hosted by the UDallas Philosophy Department honors the feast day of St. Thomas Aquinas, celebrated Jan. 28, and continues the UDallas tradition of engaging with the Angelic Doctor’s profound contributions to philosophy and theology.
