Following the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas and his fellow Dominicans, 十大赌博正规平台在线
哲学追求 contemplare et contemplata aliis tradere: to contemplate and to hand the fruits of contemplation on to others. Inspired by wonder and seeking the truth to be perfected in our nature, we follow

person in relation to nature, the good and flourishing of the individual and the community,
和上帝.

essential to Liberal 艺术 education. More particularly, by synthesizing historical
and systematic philosophical approaches, to provide a foundation so that students
may engage important perennial philosophical questions, and address them well in dialogue
在书面上. These questions—such as what is Truth? 现实? 人?
良好的? 权力? 正义? 神圣的?—are foundational to human flourishing in general,
and for success in the particular disciplines. Acquiring the skills for answering
them logically, soundly, and persuasively is invaluable to the intellectual life and
virtue of the person, the College, and the Civic Community. In accord with our Dominican
mission, this is to seek truth for individual perfection and the common good.
Taking inspiration from our namesake, St. Thomas Aquinas, to give attention to the
relationship between faith and reason as it has developed in the perennial philosophical
tradition and the Catholic Intellectual tradition of which St. 托马斯·十大赌博登录官网就是这样

values, reason, mind, and language. It is distinguished from other manners of addressing
such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational
