A new collection of studies, recently released in Spain, titled 鈥淭omismo Hispano: Ocho Siglos de Tradici贸n Intelectual,鈥� offers a comprehensive exploration of the rich tradition of Thomism in the Hispanic intellectual landscape. Published in 2024, this book celebrates eight centuries of philosophical and theological engagement with the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas, Angelic Doctor and Patron of the University of Santo Tomas.
Replete with scholarly depth, the volume includes contributions from renowned academics and thinkers. Among the articles is “Zeferino Gonz谩lez: Inheritor of Salamantine Thomism in the Nineteenth Century”, co-authored by Center for Theology, Religious Studies, and Ethics researchers Fr. F茅lix de los Reyes, O.P. and Inst. Levine Andro H. Lao. The study delves into the life and intellectual legacy of Cardinal Zeferino Gonz谩lez, a Thomasian and a central figure in the transmission of Thomistic thought in 19th-century Spain. Gonz谩lez played a pivotal role in preserving Thomism, particularly in Manila, a tradition passed down from the Escuela de Salamanca, with the University of Santo Tom谩s serving as a central institution in its perpetuation.
A living testament to the vitality and relevance of Thomism today, the book emerges from the IX Symposium of Thomistic Studies held in Barcelona in commemoration of the 800th anniversary of the canonization of St. Thomas Aquinas. The symposium was organized by leading institutions, including the Instituto Santo Tom谩s de Balmesiana and the Universitat Abat Oliba CEU. Scholars, students, and enthusiasts of philosophy and theology will find this book an invaluable resource for understanding the enduring influence of Thomistic thought in the Hispanic world.
