Talk:Neo-scholasticism

message: Interesting that the (obviously) pro- Neo-Scholastic who wrote this article saw no need to include any critics of neo-Scholasticism.

thread_title:  criticism 

message: Here is an example of how this article's tone is inappropriate:
"Among Catholics, neo-Scholasticism gains ground day by day, doing away with Ontologism, Traditionalism, the Dualism of Gunther, and the exaggerated Spiritualism of Descartes. It is free from the weaknesses of Pragmatism and Voluntarism, in which some thinkers vainly sought the reconciliation of their philosophy and their faith. Neo-Scholasticism has a character of permanence as truth itself has; but it is destined in its development to keep up with scientific progress. Like everything that lives, it must advance; arrested growth would mean decay."
It reads more like a pep-talk to fellow neo-Scholastics than an impartial encyclopedia article. This is only one example among many.Nda02a (talk) 20:02, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inappropriate tone 

message: The article is simply a reformulation of Catholic Encyclopedia on Neo-Scholasticism. That encyclopedia is good and reliable on Roman-Catholic matters, but the tone and formulations of this article should be more Wikipedian, kind of. Said: Rursus ☻ 07:45, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I note that the page on Clemens Timpler refers to the Protestant Reformed Neuscholastik, but this occurs at the outbreak of the seventeenth century. I feel that relying on the [[Catholic Encyclopedia] might give us a somewhat biased account of the matter. Certainly I think the page needs considerably re-working.Harrypotter (talk) 11:50, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

text: So who will do the reworking of this article? Is it sufficient to augment it with references from other sources, or should it be completely rewritten? Madnova777 (talk) 02:48, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The source of the article

message: The article should maybe try to explain the causes that led to thomism's decline in the 1970s, at least in the form of neothomism. One of the reasons is the Church's active dialogue with other religions, many of which had been frankly opposed to the aristotelian origins of thomism. Another reason is the general intellectual turmoil that the West experienced in the years that followed the 1968 cultural revolution. Many former thomists either adopted entirely secular philosophies such as structuralism and phenomenology or embraced new intellectual currents within the Church itself, such as anonymous Christianity, ecclesiology of communion and liberation theology.
