URGENT APPEAL! WE NEED YOUR HELP! |
|
|
WE ARE FAST RUNNING OUT OF ROOM ON OUR TEMPORARY WEBSITE.
In addition to providing resources for the worldwide unification
of all Scholastic Thomists, we hope to host the one and only online (or even 'incarnate') Scholastic Library. Most
of our books will be in .pdf format making the whole collection several gigabytes too many! To help us with our endeavors please contribute to the cost of a permanent website. Information
will be given in the next several days about how you can help.

The Society's Official Seal of Endorsement |
Introducing the Society of Schoolmen's Seal of Approval
“Ad Mentem Thomae” was a once common literary expression
in the writings of Thomistic philosophers. It meant that those philosophers ascribed
completely and adhered intellectually to the philosophic thought of St. Thomas—“to the mind of Thomas”. Though the works preceded by these words were never as error-free as the mind of Thomas
himself, their authors humbly deferred to the Expositor in all questionable matters.
Theirs were not works of novelty or vainglory. Indeed, they realized that
there have been far greater thinkers than themselves who knew far better what Thomas wrote.
These authors realized that Thomism does not begin and die with one’s own professional career, but must be referred
to far greater Thomists along an aged and powerful line of accumulated wisdom leading, ultimately, to the mind of Thomas himself:
AD MENTEM THOMAE.
The Society of Schoolmen is
now resurrecting the phrase “Ad Mentem Thomae” and we have incorporated it into our new Seal of Approval.
The AMT Seal is our way
of personally backing a literary work or Scholastic project. Wherever you see this symbol
you can rest assured that the Society has thoroughly reviewed the work and that it reflects our highest ideals of Thomism.
