O'Reilly (philosophy, Milltown Institute) looks for the implicit references to pure reason and prejudice in the thought of St. Thomas Aquinus and most certainly finds it, noting that to truly understand, by extension, Thomist aesthetic perception one must also understand his approach to a wide range of other issues. Here O'Reilly analyzes the formal constituent elements of beauty, the foundations of the aesthetic "visio" in Aquinus's philosophy of mind, Maritain's theory of art, knowledge through inclinations and the problem of objectivity as he wrestles with a number of theories, including Umberto Eco's ideas about the relative simplicity of Thomist aesthetics, and shows how evidence from a different source, namely virtue ethics, informs and matures Thomist aesthetics.
