The Role of Formal Logic in Thomism
I have deleted the suggestion that his relationship with Gödel bespoke open-mindedness compared to other neo-scholastics and pointed the reader to the Cracow Circle, wherein the latest developments in mathematical logic were considered part and parcel of the purview of Thomism. It is worth noting that Gödel devised his axiomatic refinement/repair of Anselm's ontological argument just a few years later (1941), and tempting to speculate that his conversations with Simon may have played a part in motivating it, perhaps even contributing to its structure! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_ontological_proof

"The aim of the philosopher is to acquire certain knowledge of ultimate reality. His instrument is reason. In Philosophy, more perhaps than in any other science, it is of the utmost importance that one's principles should be solid and one's reasoning accurate --An error in either may lead to startlingly absurd conclusions. Scholastics and Neo-Scholastics rightly insist that a thorough grounding in logic, deductive and inductive, is an essential perquisite for the correct solution of Philosophies problems." (P.J. Ryan, 1934, "The Fundamental Tenets of Scholasticism: Old and New") Lewis Goudy (talk) 08:44, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
