Aquinas the Augustinian
February 3-5, 2005
Naples, Florida

We were blessed to have assembled an amazing array of speakers and session chairs for “Aquinas the Augustinian.” The conference sessions were held on the campus of Ave Maria University, Naples, Florida.

The recent work of such thinkers as Alasdair MacIntyre and Servais Pinckaers OP has highlighted the Augustinian aspects of Aquinas's philosophy/theology. It was thus a fruitful time to bring together a group of scholars to investigate in a systematic fashion the interplay between these two great theologians and the ways that retrieval of their thought in the modern context should proceed.
