Title: Dieu Comme Soi-Meme : Connaissance de Soi et Connaissance de Dieu Selon Thomas d'Aquin
Description: The discovery, in the works of Thomas Aquinas, of a "habitual" knowledge of the soul itself, immediate and pre-reflective, allowed the French Dominican Ambrose Gardeil (1859-1931) to think philosophically by an analogy of metaphysical structure, the possibility of experiential knowledge of God. This book examines, based on the texts of Thomas Aquinas and his contemporaries, the historical validity and the heuristic scope ofthe proposed analogy between self-knowledge and knowledge of God. The author examines whether or not the analogy between self-knowledge and knowledge of God, discerned by Ambrose Gardeil in St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, can lift the great challenge of Emmanuel Kant and make room in Thomism, for a real and immediate experience of God.
