We don't subscribe to a "double truth" notion, where there is one truth for reason, and another for faith, and they may be different. It's sort of like the human brain with its two halves, joined together by the corpus callosum: they communicate and overlap and are intertwined at certain junctures. There are some philosophies that are simply incompatible with the Catholic faith (try to reconcile Spinoza with Catholicism: it cannot be done). It would seem that one has a "Catholic" philosophy when one's philosophical system is compatible with the Catholic faith, so that the marriage of faith and reason, is a "communion of life and love," or perhaps a "communion of truth," and not a union of friction, constant bickering, and working against each other's interest. Like a good marriage.Andrew M.

The term would have to refer to philosophers who happen to be catholics.Lee Faberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476833516234522602noreply@blogger.com
