Summary

With few exceptions, Kierkegaard being the most prominent – and leaving aside for now the radical critique of modernity offered in the novels of Dostoievsky – it is hardly misleading to claim that after Kant theism in any Christian form disappeared from philosophical psychology – which in its empirical version increasingly presented itself as a separate discipline – until the Thomist revival at the end of the nineteenth century. Of the early neo-Thomists many did little more than attempt to reinstate the past, or revise Aquinas to sound like Kant, becoming thus unable to do much further to develop the Mainline Tradition. More recently a number of less Thomist theologians (such as the Jesuits Rahner and Lonergan) have pursued the same inconclusive path to nowhere.
