Revue Thomiste is a French academic journal devoted to the study and promotion of the philosophical and theological tradition associated with Thomas Aquinas, Scholasticism, and Catholic intellectual life. Founded in the late 19th century, it has served as a forum for debates among scholars associated with Université de Paris, Institut Catholique de Paris, and religious orders such as the Dominican Order and the Jesuits. The journal interfaces with debates linked to figures like Pope Leo XIII, Pope Pius X, and institutions including Vatican Library and Pontifical Gregorian University.
The journal arose during a period shaped by the Rerum Novarum era and the neo-scholastic revival promoted by Pope Leo XIII and institutions such as the Vatican Archives and the Pontifical Biblical Institute. Early contributors included scholars from University of Louvain, University of Fribourg, and the University of Leuven, engaging with contemporaries like Édouard Hugon, Étienne Gilson, and Jacques Maritain. Throughout the 20th century the journal intersected with events such as the First Vatican Council legacy debates, the aftermath of World War I, the intellectual currents of Interwar France, and responses to Second Vatican Council. Editors navigated relations with bodies like French Academy, Académie Française, and publishers such as Librairie Philosophique J. Vrin and Editions du Cerf.
The journal’s remit encompasses systematic theology, metaphysics, moral theology, sacramental theology, and historical scholarship on medieval thought, engaging with texts by Aristotle, Aquinas, Bonaventure, Duns Scotus, and William of Ockham. Articles examine intersections with modern thinkers such as Immanuel Kant, René Descartes, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, John Henry Newman, Karl Barth, and Edmund Husserl. Comparative studies relate Thomistic themes to currents in Phenomenology, Existentialism, Analytic philosophy, and Continental philosophy through figures like Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Bertrand Russell. The journal publishes research on medieval manuscripts housed in Vatican Library, Bibliothèque nationale de France, and British Library, as well as editions and commentaries on scholastic texts tied to archives like Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu and collections at Cambridge University Library.
Contributors and editors have included theologians, philosophers, and historians linked to institutions such as Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, University of Notre Dame (Indiana), Catholic University of America, Yale University, and Harvard Divinity School. Prominent names appearing in its pages or on editorial boards include Étienne Gilson, Jacques Maritain, Germain Grisez, John F. X. Knasas, Marie-Dominique Chenu, Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, Henri de Lubac, Joseph Ratzinger, Avery Dulles, Thomas Joseph White, Stanley Jaki, and James Ross. The journal has hosted debates involving scholars connected to Oxford University, Cambridge University, Heidelberg University, University of Munich, and Sapienza University of Rome.

The journal has shaped scholarship on Thomism, influenced curricula at institutions such as Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas and Institut Catholique de Paris, and contributed to discussions that reached the Second Vatican Council and subsequent papal teachings including those by Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. Its articles have been cited in works by scholars at University of Notre Dame (Indiana), King’s College London, Princeton University, and research centers like Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and Max Planck Society.
