| Summary: | Back in 1967 Victor Preller published his important Divine Science and the Science of God: A Reformulation of Thomas Aquinas (Princeton: Princeton University Press). Preller's book was ground-breaking, the first sustained attempt to show that the Neo-Thomist reading of Aquinas was profoundly mistaken. Aquinas is best understood as a deeply apophatic theologian who denied that our words have any meaning when applied to God, and his so-called ‘natural theology’ is not independent of revelation, and in any case leads to the existence of something of which we have no knowledge. |
