My name is John, and I'm a long-time reader of Feser's blog. My academic background was in philosophy; specifically modern philosophy. When I encountered Gilson's Methodical Realism five years ago, it was like an epiphany for me. Ever since, I've been playing catch-up philosophically-speaking, reading every manual I can get my hands on. Scholasticism, late have I loved thee.
I'm Roman Catholic by religion. I'm also looking forward to reading the posts on this forum. I doubt I'll participate very often, but I'll try to contribute when I'm able.
Scott, you and I are both from the Akron area. I went to Archbishop Hoban.
There is a surprising number of people in the Northeast Ohio region here on this forum. Welcome!
Well, howdy, neighbor! Welcome to the forum.
I actually grew up about an hour away (Niles), which is still "the Akron area" taken broadly, and I've lived in or near Cuyahoga Falls for over a quarter of a century now. I wasn't raised Roman Catholic but I'm currently working with a priest on joining the Church; it was the Scholastics who did the intellectual part of the prep work.
