The Logicist Tribulation of Sophia is a trilogy that attempts to confront idealism, positivism, secular humanism, as well as decadent and sterile Thomism. Since the most important parts of Book 1 are the result of the author's personal interpretation of Thomas Aquinas, the work is unexpectedly original. Logicism is a kind of animism invested of rationality. Animism is the unscientific tendency of transposing outside the mind interpretations of our cognitive apparatus. In general, all errors in science are related to logicism because they are human errors and, consequently, a product of or related to the way we feel and think. 'Whoever ignores his own cognitive limitation falls into some form of logicism (or animism) for he ends up projecting his own ideas or mental schemes upon reality. Human science is always perfectible. Each new progress frequently uncovers the traces of previous logicism' (Book 1). The trilogy has unity in spite of its variety and amplitude. The relentless attack against logicism is the spark that kindles the flame of its unaltered leitmotiv and preponderant weapon: epistemology. This aims to foster the development of critical and analytical abilities. Hence the dedication: ERUDIENDIS ABSQUE DOLO SEU FICTIONE IUNIORIBUS PRAECIPUE (to those who are to be taught without fiction or deceit, especially the youth). Book 1 develops the essentials of an epistemological technique discovered in Aquinas, thus providing a scientific procedure for philosophy. It is the foundational section of the trilogy. Book 2 is titled Recuperation of the Theological Ethics of Happiness against Logicism and Phil-Ideology, and Book 3 is Recuperation of Theological Principles against Ideo-logicist Incompetence. A.J.
