Thomas White's Devotion and Reason (1661) is a significant work of 17th-century Catholic theology and philosophy, reflecting a bold attempt to engage with the modern age. White (also known as Thomas Blacklo) sought to establish the traditional Catholic practice of praying for the dead on 'solid principles,' believing it could be fully reconciled with contemporary philosophical reason. This essay is a fascinating record of the intellectual ferment within Catholicism as scholars struggled to integrate new scientific and philosophical currents into established dogma, a process that led to debate and, in this case, the eventual official censure of White's specific philosophical expression.
