…besides Ed Feser. I already know about him.

And maybe some works you would recommend, particular on God’s existence.

Thanks!
 
Probably still alive or at least last few decades — authors/thinkers who would be familiar with any modern criticisms or contributions from today’s science.

For example, Ed Feser at least addresses/utilizes things like quantum physics or any other scientific evidence that allegedly contradicts, or supports, Thomism. And he also talks about how final causality relates to evolution, etc.

He may be a hair late of the time frame you’re looking at, but I feel it would be remiss of me not to at least mention Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange OP. He’s the most famous one I know of from the 20th century.

The Dominicans themselves are divided over his alleged “genius”.
Besides he’s long gone and translations from French will probably only add to confusions.

I just mentioned on another thread about Thomism and evolution that I am reading Fr. Michael Chaberek’s Aquinas and Evolution. He is going against the flow of most modern Thomists in arguing that Thomas Aquinas would be against the Theory of Evolution in principle. Chaberek has another book about the history of thought of Catholic theologians concerning evolution which I haven’t read (Catholicism and Evolution) but even in Aquinas and Evolution points out that at first, and for many years, most of them were very much against Darwin’s idea. It is at least worth reading Chaberek’s book to show there are two sides of thought about Thomas Aquinas and evolution.
