In a past Mises Wire article, Ive written about how Saint Thomas Aquinass definition of hope correlates incredibly well with what Carl Menger would describe in his definition a good six centuries later.
One of the characteristic features of Catholic thought over the centuries has been its emphasis on reason. Mans mind, according to this tradition, is capable of apprehending a world of order that exists outside itself. Man is able to abstract universals from the myriad objects and sense data that appear to him and thus bring order to the chaos of mere data above which mere brutes can never ascend.
Pseudo-intellectual gobbledygook.
Vic, I need you to interpret whole article this for me.
