That’s ‘Aquinas on the other hand, does not seem to allow…’

Forgive my lack of historical sensitivities, but this sounds like an affirmation of Henry of Ghent’s acct. of philosophy’s relations to theology, and _not_ Thomas Aquinas’s. The former uses a certain Christian doctrine by which to better understand a certain object of philosophy (aristotelian categories), and so ‘augments’/'alters’ what the philosopher understands. Aquinas on the other hand, does seem to allow some Christian doctrine to over-ride what natural reason might conclude about this object of philosophical inquiry (Aristotelian categories). The doctrine in question here is nothing less that their metaphysical expositions of the Trinity. But even more broadly, this is a question of the ’sub-alternation’ of one discipline (philosophy) to another (theology). A topic Aquinas and Henry discusses in ST 1 and Henry in SQO 7. I think Stephen Brown has an article on Henry’s position as rejection of Aquinas’s, and then some earlier Thomists’ reply against Henry in defense of Aquinas.
