Gaston LeNotre: "Can Thomas' Account of Individuation Survive Scotus' Objections?"

Talking Thomism

We are happy to welcome back Dr. Gaston LeNotre for his second appearance on Talking Thomism! Dr. LeNotre is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Dominican University College in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He earned his PhD in Philosophy from the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. In his paper "Can Thomas' Account of Individuation Survive Scotus' Objections? A CONCRETE Respone," Dr. LeNotre follows up on the work he presented in his appearance on Talking Thomism. Here, he argues that Aquinas held indeterminate dimension is the principle of individuation and considers some objections to this position taken from the Subtle Doctor himself, Duns Scotus. This talk was given at the Center for Thomistic Studies on February 22, 2019. The Center for Thomistic Studies, located at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX, is the only graduate program in the United States uniquely dedicated to the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas.
