Major paper topic: "Some people argue that modern philosophy originates in the attempt to synthesize reason with faith, of which Aquinas is the paradigm example. Does mixing reason with faith lead to skepticism and nihilism? Is reason the friend or foe of religion? Do you agree with Deely that postmodernity, by abandoning 'the way of ideas' of modern philosophy, is a positive development?"
"Aquinas did not view truths of reason and truths of revelation as incompatible or in need of synthesis. Underlying the theological project of Aquinas' two Summas is the assumption that what is true is true whatever its immediate source, given that all truth ultimately comes from God who is true. Aquinas' project is not an attempt to synthesize incompatibles."-Aquinas Reconsidered
