To mark the 750th anniversary of the death of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Thomistic Institute and the Dominican House of Studies present a conference on St. Thomas’s thought with keynote addresses and a call for papers for shorter breakout sessions.

A group of major scholars will treat the theme of Thomas Aquinas as the Common Doctor, each from the perspective of his or her own expertise. Each contributor will treat the question of whether, and to what extent, Aquinas may (or may not) be considered a “common doctor” in theological and philosophical engagements today.

What? A three-day conference on the theme on Aquinas as the Common Doctor in contemporary theology and philosophy.

Where? Dominican House of Studies (487 Michigan Ave. NE, Washington, D.C. 20017)

When? Thursday, September 14 to Saturday, September 16, 2023

Each talk concludes with time for Q&A. Light refreshments, including snacks and coffee, will be served between the lectures.
