| Summary: | Against scientism, the alleged priority of science over all other forms of knowledge, Christian Barrigar proposes that human beings should enjoy the higher-order freedom to live in accord with God’s own agapic freedom and love to serve others. But thereby what is lost in thus obeying God’s will is the autonomous freedom of human beings to make their own choices and to take responsibility to correct those mistakes through a gradual process of trial-and-error. Scholars in the Aristotelian-Thomistic approach to reality might embrace instead a collective or systems-oriented approach to reality that allows for such autonomous freedom. |
