"Truth in either sense [that is, logical and ontological], has to do with the relationship between being and intellect, but the direction of the relationship is different in each case. Logical truth has to do with the conformity of the intellect to being. Ontological truth has to do with the conformity of being to the intellect." —Dr. Feser

This talk was given on June 25, 2021 as part of the 10th Annual Aquinas Philosophy Workshop, "Knowledge, Truth, and Wisdom in Aquinas." The handout for the talk can be found here: tinyurl.com/phksp393.

He holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of California at Santa Barbara, an M.A. in religion from the Claremont Graduate School, and a B.A. in philosophy and religious studies from the California State University at Fullerton.
