“Gosh, Joss is a Thomist!?”

[Click on the link above to see this paper's placement in the SCBtVS Program.]

 

In “Gosh, Joss is a Thomist!?” Agnes Curry will broaden the scope of our inquiry still further, posing question about the underlying philosophy of the BtVS series creator himself. Focusing on selected episodes from seasons six and seven, Agnes will attempt to discern the fundamental notion of freedom presumed therein. Ultimately, Agnes will argue that an “intellectualist” model of the human person corresponds better to the overarching themes of the show than would a more “voluntarist” model.
