New Realism in the Light of Scholasticism

"New Realism in the Light of Scholasticism" is a profound scholarly investigation into the early 20th-century philosophical movement known as New Realism, analyzed through the rigorous lens of Scholastic thought. This work, authored by Sister Mary Verda, Ph.D., explores the intersection of contemporary modern philosophy and the perennial wisdom of the Scholastic tradition, particularly the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas. The text critically examines the epistemological foundations of New Realism, a movement that sought to defend the reality of the external world against the prevailing tides of idealism. Through meticulous comparison, the author evaluates the New Realist approach to perception, knowledge, and the nature of reality, highlighting both its strengths and its deviations from traditional Aristotelian-Thomistic principles. By addressing the fundamental questions of how we perceive objects and how universal concepts relate to particular things, the book provides a systematic critique of modern realist theories. "New Realism in the Light of Scholasticism" remains a significant contribution to the fields of philosophy and theology, offering a clear and scholarly defense of Scholastic logic as a vital tool for understanding the complexities of human knowledge and the objective world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
