Description: Anthony J. Lisska presents a new analysis of Thomas Aquinas's theory of perception. Approaching the subject from contemporary analytic philosophy, Lisska argues for the importance of inner sense, and suggests a modest 'innate' or 'structured' interpretation for the role of the crucial faculty of vis cogitativa. Anthony J. Lisska is Maria Theresa Barney Professor of Philosophy at Denison University in Granville, Ohio. His work in medieval philosophy focuses on natural law theory and the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas. The Clarendon Press published his Aquinas's Theory of Natural Law. Recent essays on natural law theory appeared in The Oxford Handbook of Medieval Philosophy, Reason, Religion and Natural Law, and The Routledge Companion to Ethics. In 2006, he served as national president of the American Catholic Philosophical Association. He received the Carnegie Foundation United States Baccalaureate Colleges National Professor of the Year Award in 1994. He served as Academic Dean of the College and the Founding Director of Denison's Honors Program.
