Multifaceted and in-depth analysis of the
neo-scholastic movement

In his encyclical Aeterni
Patris (1879), Pope Leo XIII expressed the conviction that the renewed
study of the philosophical legacy of Saint Thomas Aquinas would help Catholics
to engage in a dialogue with secular modernity while maintaining respect for
Church doctrine and tradition. As a result, the neo-scholastic framework
dominated Catholic intellectual production for nearly a century thereafter.

This volume assesses the societal impact of the
Thomist revival movement, with particular attention to the juridical
dimension of this epistemic community. Contributions from different
disciplinary backgrounds offer a multifaceted and in-depth analysis of many
different networks and protagonists of the neo-scholastic movement, its
institutions and periodicals, and its conceptual frameworks. Although special
attention is paid to the Leuven Institute of Philosophy and Faculty of Law, the
volume also discloses the neo-Thomist revival in other national and
transnational contexts. By highlighting diverse aspects of its societal and
legal impact, Neo-Thomism in Action argues that neo-scholasticism was
neither a sterile intellectual exercise nor a monolithic movement. The book
expands our understanding of how Catholic intellectual discourse communities
were constructed and how they pervaded law and society during the late
19th century and the first half of the 20th century.
