| Summary: | It is controversial whether Christian Philosophy is a useful or even consistent notion. After providing some historical background to the problem, I will distinguish and explicate two possible understandings of Christian Philosophy which should be kept apart: a Thomistic and an Augustinian one, of which the latter has garnered more attention in the recent literature. A sketch of the most prominent current Augustinian position (Alvin Plantingas reformed epistemology) leads to some considerations for why a Thomistic understanding of Christian Philosophy has more to recommend it, if the term is regarded as useful at all. |
