Dr Aquino is Professor of Theology and Philosophy in the Graduate School of Theology at Abilene Christian University. He is the author of Communities of Informed Judgment: Newman’s Illative Sense and Accounts of Rationality (Catholic University Press of America, 2004) and An Integrative Habit of Mind: John Henry Newman on the Path to Wisdom (Northern Illinois University Press, 2012).
