| Summary: | In the Dialogue of Comfort (II, 1: 82/17-21), Antony and Vincent discuss Whether a man may not in tribulation use some worldly recreation for his comfort, and make an explicit reference to the auctoritas of St. Thomas Aquinas. The paper investigates the Thomistic foundation of the virtue of recreation, which is presented as a key aspect of More's spirituality and theological outlook. Some theological sources for this study can be found in José Morales, Cornelio Fabro, Hugo Rahner and Louis Bouyer. |
