Domenic D’Ettore and Carl A. Vater reunite for Encounter to discuss the scholars and questions that shaped their approaches to medieval philosophy. D’Ettorre reflects on how the problem of analogy led him deeper into Aquinas and the Thomistic commentary tradition, while Vater discusses studying under Timothy Noone and learning to “read all the boys.” The two also wrestle with Aquinas and Scotus on divine ideas, debate whether analogy can answer Scotus’s objections, and share where their research is taking them next.
