Honors Philosophy
St. Thomas Aquinas
Honors philosophy is a semester course which encourages students to a deeper level of reflection on the relationship between faith and reason. “Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of the truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth – in a word, to know himself – so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.” (Pope John Paul II, Fides et Ratio) By reading, interpreting, studying, and independently thinking about the great minds of philosophy throughout history, both Christian and non-Christian, the students will understand the reasonableness of the claims of the Catholic Church and have an understanding of God’s vision for the human person, modeled after the perfect human person, Jesus Christ.
