What does it mean to think well?
“Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth,” writes Pope St. John Paul II. In the Catholic tradition, human reason finds its highest purpose not only in accumulating knowledge or exercising mastery, but in coming to love wisdom: the true philo-sophia. In its search for understanding, the mind encounters mystery, pursues intellectual virtues, and ultimately desires the vision of God. In this series we study texts in philosophy and theology, both ancient and modern, to think about the gift of thinking, and to explore the harmony of reason and faith.
