Thomism. Christian philosophical theology based on the writings of St Thomas
Aquinas. Although some propositions of Aquinas were initially condemned, his system was established in the 16th cent. onwards (known as Second Thomism, but also, confusingly, as
Neo-Thomism/Neo-
Scholasticism) as the basis of Roman Catholic theology and education. This was powerfully reinforced by
Leo XIII in his
encyclical Aeterni Patris (1879) which gave rise to what is more properly known as Neo-Thomism. More recent writing on Aquinas has rejected the distorting lenses of the various Thomistic schools, and by returning to the text of Aquinas' works has emphasized the significant divergences between Aquinas and his commentators. (For transcendental Thomism, see
RAHNER, K.)
