This semester I’m taking an excellent triad of theological coursework: Church Dogmatics I/1, Summa contra gentiles III/1, and Wittgenstein. In my attempt to bring it all together, today I came across Philip Rolnick’s Analogical Possibilities (Scholar’s Press, 1993), in which he studies transcendental Thomism (via W. Norris Clarke), grammatical Thomism (via Burrell), and Jüngel’s critique of the entire Thomist analogical enterprise. I mention it because it appears to present a comprehensive study of analogy and participatory metaphysics before the radically orthodox took over the discussion!
I’d love to read this tonight, but I actually have Thomas and Wittgenstein to read for tomorrow (go figure…one should actually read primary sources?!). So I hope to get back to reviewing Rolnick’s book at some point later on.
Are there any other reading recommendations for navigating the nexus of Wittgenstein-Thomas-Barth studies out there?
