Description
Sébastien recommended this re: the paradox how Dominicans et al. despise human knowledge yet contributed so much to it, how sacra doctrina is the queen and the hierarchy of sciences is necessary (despite Lewis not mentioning St. Thomas at all)
It's written by an ex comp. sci. dean of Harvard.
