The 2012 Annual Aquinas Philosophy Workshop:
Thomas Aquinas & The Mind/Body Problem
How might Aquinas' philosophy of the human person speak to dilemmas in contemporary
philosophy of mind? What is Aquinas' hylomorphic conception of the human being as
body and soul? How does his study of the diverse faculties of the human person (intellect,
free will, emotions, physiological living processes) provide an illuminating account
of human life? This conference will explore Aquinas' understanding of the person,
asking the question of the perennial relevance of his contribution.
The first day of the conference is devoted especially to graduate students, either
in philosophy, or adjacent disciplines. The second and third days of the event will
combine presentations by philosophers with times of discussion and debate.
