Thomism and Tolerance

Knasas differs from each in important respects, including his way of seeking common ground with liberalism, and his belief that "Aquinas' theory of truth will be ineffectual," if it is attached to a "larger teleologica! setting" in the desire of human nature for union with God. In particular, Knasas's critiques depend heavily in part on a debatable linking of these thinkers to the position that the fundamental inclination of the mind to truth should be basically understood in terms of an inclination to project, rather than an inclination to receive. [...]the ideas critiqued in this chapter also point to some of the important recurring questions about Knasas's argument in this work.
