Aquinas at 800, Part 17: Cognition

About this episode

Episode Topic: Cognition

Can we perceive the spiritual realm with our physical minds? Listen in to a dialogue examining how the human intellect navigates its material limitations to grasp immaterial truths. Understanding these cognitive structures is a strategic necessity for anyone seeking to reconcile the tangible world of experience with the firm convictions of spiritual life. Grasp the intricate ways St. Thomas Aquinas defines human understanding. Navigate through sensory barriers to envision the certitude of faith.

Featured Speakers:

  • Therese Cory, University of Notre Dame
  • Luca F. Tuninetti, Pontificia Università Urbaniana
