Simplifying Philosophy and Theology Through Language

The chapter delves into the importance of simplifying complex concepts in philosophy and theology for better communication by using analogies and ordinary language rather than technical jargon. It explores how St. Thomas's teachings emphasize the demonstration of understanding through the ability to explain simply, as well as the evolution of the relationship between Catholic faith and science. The chapter also addresses the challenges in reconciling modern physics with Aristotelian philosophy and discusses the conceptual conflicts between Aristotle's views on species and modern biological definitions.
