Description

Scarpelli Cory's "Aquinas on Human Self-Knowledge" (CUP 2013) finds in Aquinas a sophisticated theory of knowledge of self that is interesting in its own right and inasmuch as it challenges the contention that Rene Descartes initiated philosophy's turn to the subject. Scarpelli Cory will be present at this session of papers to respond to two papers discussing her work, with the papers to appear in volume 14 of the Society's Proceedings.
