| Summary: | Attendance at the thought of Thomas Aquinas represents a not insignificant aspect of the path that led the young Buonaiuti to reflect on the philosophical-theological approaches to Christian experience. In the climate of the Thomist restoration, promoted during the pontificate of Leo xiii, he was able to take advantage of the teaching of his teacher, Luigi Chiesa, author of an essay entitled ‘The Basis of Realism and the Neo-Kantian Critique’, approaching a Thomism open, in dialectical opposition, to issues concerning theories on the nature of knowledge. Through numerous readings, he came into contact with currents such as the philosophy of action and pragmatism. His early writings are influenced by the partial assimilation of these contributions, merged, however, with the results of research on early Christianity. During the polemical phase of the modernist crisis, he expressed a rejection of several contents of learned Catholic theology, including the doctrines of Angelicism. Later, especially after the First World War, he deepened his knowledge of the heritage of medieval thought, a trait that characterised his subsequent production. He thus took up the lesson of Thomas, to whom he dedicated a brief biographical-thematic profile, in which he summarised the salient aspects of a ‘realism’ that he considered to be a typical component of what he designated as ‘Mediterranean civilisation’. |
