Über den Autor

Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange was a prominent French theologian and philosopher, recognized for his significant contributions to Thomistic thought and Catholic theology. He was a member of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) and spent much of his academic career teaching at the Angelicum in Rome. His works often focused on the integration of philosophy and theology, emphasizing the importance of St. Thomas Aquinas's teachings in contemporary discourse. Garrigou-Lagrange's writings ranged from commentaries on the Summa Theologica to explorations of various theological principles, making him a key figure in 20th-century Catholic philosophy.

His influence extended beyond his immediate academic circles, as he sought to bridge the gap between faith and reason through rigorous philosophical inquiry. His notable works include "Thomistic Common Sense" and "The Order of Things," which reflect his commitment to the realism of Thomistic principles and their application in modern theology. Garrigou-Lagrange's legacy continues to inspire theologians and philosophers who engage with the rich tradition of Thomism.
