Eminent Thomistic Philosophers before Pere Garrigou-Lagrange?

[Jordanqwef]

Who were the most eminent Thomistic Philosophers before Garrigou-Lagrange?..besides st. thomas…Especially in the 17-19 centuries? But whenever if you know them.

 

[Jordanqwef]

Would these be Neothomisists? I don’t know much about it.

 

[Jordanqwef]

Well, I found the Catholic Encyclopedia on Neothomisism, and that lists many, but I know there are others. Any one know?

 

[Cajetan]

Read this:

[Jordanqwef]

thanks.

Who were the eminent ones? Standards? Hugon? Gredt? Zigliara? etc…those are the few i know of.

I just wanted to mention that I thought it was funny that a fellow with the name of Cajetan answered this specific question.

 

[Coessens]

The most eminent after the Angelic Doctor himself of course, are: Thomas de Vio Cajetan (commentator of the Summa Theologica), Dominic Bañez, John of St. Thomas, Francesco Silvestri (commentator of the Summa Contra Gentiles), Dominic of Soto, the Salamanticenses (mostly the Discalced Carmelites) , Francisco Suárez (though not strictly a Thomist), Antoine Goudin, Cardinal Billuart, Cardinal Zigliara, Joseph Gredt, Edouard Hugon, Santiago Ramírez, Royo Marín and Guérard des Laurieres.

Some of these may be more obscure than others, but all are worthy of being named and referenced in any good manual of Catholic theology or philosophy.
