“…Stephen Grimm has argued that St. Newman is something like a proto‐Plantingian, and that, analytics could develop his work (Grimm, 2001). Contra Grimm, Logan Gage takes Newman to fit broadly under an internalist and fallibilist camp (Gage, 2020; Gage & Aquino, 2021). Work is currently underway as to determining which side St. Newman truly falls on.…”

If you were to take a time machine and travel back to the 1980s, Catholic epistemology would look drastically different than it does today, at least in analytic circles. One of those drastic changes relates to whether Catholic epistemology is consistent with Reformed epistemology. Another issue relates to whether St. Thomas Aquinas was a classical evidentialist. In this paper, I survey recent developments in Catholic epistemology. I do this by first looking at Gregory Stacey's recent work arguing the Catholic Church's teaching on faith is best situated in a Reformed epistemological framework. I then engage decades old objections to Reformed epistemology from a Catholic perspective. I respond to these objections partly by surveying recent work by Catholic epistemologists. The paper then takes a turn to look at the recent scholarship on Aquinas' epistemology. I show that there is now an emerging consensus that Aquinas belongs not to a hard evidentialist camp as it was previously thought, but rather an externalist friendly tradition.

This article considers the role of emotion in John Henry Newman's Grammar of Assent by distinguishing five different ways (or ‘models’) in which the emotions play a positive epistemic role in relation to cognition. The most important of these, the Cognitive-Emotion Model, offers a new account of Newman's crucial idea of real assent, one that stresses the primary role of the emotions in real assent rather than imagination. This model helps to explain the nature of real assent by highlighting Newman's portrayal of an emotional way of knowing an object that is personal or individual, incommunicable, vivid, and motive. In this study of the relations between emotion and cognition I hope to highlight unexplored aspects of the nature of real assent and the importance of the role of emotion in it and hope to show how Newman's epistemology offers a rich framework for exploring the positive epistemic contributions of the emotions.

Chesterton’s Epistemology: A Study in the Development of Newman’s Doctrines

This article situates G.K. Chesterton’s work in relation to the theological epistemology of John Henry Newman. It studies the roles of reason, imagination, mystery, emotional knowledge, communal knowledge, and experience in Chesterton’s epistemology, and the relationship between logical argument and narrative in his writing. The article attempts to demonstrate that Chesterton’s work contains an implicit theological epistemology which in numerous respects parallels Newman’s and argues that Chesterton developed Newman’s epistemology in certain areas in the context of his work as an apologist. The article concludes with reflections on what Newman’s influence on Chesterton may imply with regard to Chesterton’s role as a hidden channel for Newman’s influence on later writers.
