    My son went to college at UC Berzerkly, but one of the treasures that he discovered nearby was the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology.

    I have a BA and MA in Philosophy. When I studied Medieval Philosophy, I read Aquinas, along with many other great minds of the time. I find him a brilliant thinker, but I consider him a theologian, not a philosopher. During the medieval period, virtually all thought was controlled by the Church, so anyone questioning the existence of God or His actions regarding man’s purpose on earth, might find themselves condemned and executed for their beliefs. Saint John of the Cross and Joan of Arc are just a couple examples. I attended PCC and had wanted to teach philosophy there, but life led me in a different direction. I live in Temple City and would very much enjoy meeting you and discussing philosophy.

    Providence College in Rhode Island was founded by the Dominicans.https://www.providence.edu/
    Until the 1980s, the depts of philosophy and theology were mostly staffed by Dominican friars. There are still a few there, some quite notable for their work. Prof. Daria Spezzano is not a Dominican, but she is a brilliant and orthodox Catholic theologian.
