What Can a Scholastic Do in the 21st Century?

Summary/Abstract: “What can a scholastic do in the 20th century?”—asks Katalin Vidrányi in the title of her article written in 1970. If her characteristically systematic and pithy analysis can be summarized in a single sentence, the author’s answer is: many things, but not too much. For if we survey the Christian philosophies carefully classified and perceptively analyzed by Vidrányi, we find that in the last analysis they are all characterized by the same hopeless eclecticism and inability to achieve a genuine synthesis, that is to say, one which would be comparable to that produced by scholasticism (in particular, by Thomism).
