Title: Intellectual humility of Domingo de Soto, O.P.
Post by: Geremia on October 31, 2017, 10:55:58 AM
Part 3 ch. 18 of
entitled "Soto tries to make the views of Aristotle and St. Thomas agree with the hypothesis of impetus," quotes:

Duhem's chapter manifests the intellectual humility (https://isidore.co/calibre/browse/book/5514) of Fr. Domingo de Soto, O.P. (http://www.encyclopedia.com/science/dictionaries-thesauruses-pictures-and-press-releases/soto-domingo-de), because, although quotes #1 and #2 above make it seem as though St. Thomas would've endorsed Buridan (http://www.encyclopedia.com/people/philosophy-and-religion/philosophy-biographies/jean-buridan)'s impetus theory, in the end Fr. De Soto realized this is not true due to quote #3 above (De Cælo is St. Thomas's last work, so quote #3 could be seen as his final word on the subject). Fr. De Soto follows reason instead of straining to reconcile St. Thomas and Aristotle with the impetus theory.

"You have to be willing to pursue the truth wherever it leads, regardless of the personal cost to you, because if you don't have the truth, then it's already costed you."
