Abstract

I cannot claim to be an “Analytical Thomist” for two reasons: first, I am a practicing Jew, and Thomism is a philosophical tradition within the Roman Catholic Church. But not only do I philosophize within a different religious tradition than Thomists do, there is also the fact that my own approach to philosophy is, I think, quite different. My purpose here, however, is not to reject Analytical Thomism, or even to criticize it, but rather to enter into a dialogue with it. Thus, even if I do not put the remarks that follow in the form of questions, they are intended in a sense as a set of questions addressed to those who do consider themselves to be Analytical Thomists.
