Inleiding
With François-Xavier Putallaz.
The Heart, Baths, and the Little Old Lady. Fragments and Thoughts by Thomas Aquinas. How can we explain that hot baths chase away sadness? Or that we find hope at the bottom of a glass? If Thomas Aquinas addresses such questions in his greatest works, it is because these little things reveal a magnificent conception of the human being.This simple and warm-hearted lecture offers an introduction to Thomistic thought that takes these unconventional paths. You’ll learn why the “heart” expresses the intimacy of each person: love and the mind have an unexpected connection to the heartbeat. You’ll even meet an intriguing little old lady who knows more than the most prestigious scholars. After teaching philosophy in Sion and at the University of Fribourg, François-Xavier Putallaz is now a member of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas.
