/lit/ - Literature

I have been noticing an upsurge of Thomists on /lit/.
Post if you consider yourself a Thomist and list any decent (relatively modern) Thomistic works.
Also, what do you think about the so called marriage of Thomisim and Personalism spearheaded by Dr. Kreeft?

As of this moment, the vast majority of scientific discovery, philosophical inquiry and gathered data points to a finite universe that had to be a product of an Intelligent Designer. Quantum Theory has expanded the horizons of ontology to make science contend with the new evidence (information fields & non-location) for things like non-materialistic “information-like” dimensions of physical reality. Big Bang cosmology has introduced the likelihood of the finitude of the observable universe; contemporary universal inflationary theory has easily shown a strong probability of an initial singularity. All implying a causative power from an uncaused-cause that transcends time-and-space also know as God.

When all scientific discoveries are allowed to compliment the traditional philosophical proofs for a deity they provide a completely rational foundation for the existence of a unique, unconditioned, unrestricted, absolutely simple, super-intelligent, continuous Creator of all that is.

Aquinas’ uncaused Cause arguments are rooted in Aristotle’s unmoved Mover argument which becomes deficient in the 17th-18th century due to it applying causation principals to interaction on material bodies. The current focus of thought is now directed toward the activity of fields as the entire assumed ontological nature is changing rapidly with modern discovery. Aquinas’ following Aristotle’s pioneering work allowed for the possibility of infinite past-time and assumed an infinite temporal regression. But the later Kalam proofs developed 1,000 years later have since proven the impossibility of an actual infinite being applied to a finite structure. The West wasted a lot of time following the relatively safe assumptions of Aquinas.
