Reason and spirit in the thought of Edmund Husserl, st. Thomas Aquinas, and A.-T. Tymieniecka
some complementarities and supplementations
Thomas Ryba
pp. 111-136
Edmund Husserl, Thomas Aquinas, and A.-T. Tymieniecka each have proposed distinctive formulations of the relations between Reason and Spirit. In this piece, Thomas Ryba reviews and explains the most salient features of each formulation, describing how the features of each thinker's formulation oppose, complement, or overlap one another. He concludes by suggesting in what direction each formulation may contribute to a more adequate synthesis than any one taken singly, a synthesis which expands the respective notions of Reason and Spirit, a synthesis which can avoid both the trap of Scientism as well as the very crisis between Reason and Spirit caused by Scientism.
