FACULTY FELLOW
Herbert Hartmann, PhD
I received my M. A. and Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Toronto, where I studied under such distinguished Thomistic scholars as Fathers Joseph Owens, Armand Maurer and James Weisheipl, and, as well, Anton C. Pegis, under whose guidance and supervision I began my doctoral dissertation “St. Thomas and Prudence”. After his death, I completed the theses under the supervision of Lawrence Lynch. I had been chosen by Anton Pegis as one of the three inaugural professors of the then newly established Center for Thomistic Studies in Houston, Texas. During my years at the university in Canada, I had the opportunity to study under Allan Bloom and Hans Georg Gadamer, and am well-acquainted with Straussian political thought.
Over the course of my academic life, I’ve taught at Loyola University of Chicago and at Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, California. During my 12 years as a tutor at Thomas Aquinas College, I taught courses ranging from Astronomy and Euclidean Geometry to Theology and Logic. I’ve since also taught at Southern Catholic College, Our Lady of Thornwood Seminary and, most recently, for 12 years at the Catholic University of America. I retired from CUA in 2024 and am currently continuing my work on St. Thomas.
