About the journal
Since 1926, scholars and thinkers, mostly based in Canada and the United States, have forged a unique tradition and community known as the "American Catholic Philosophical Association." Steeped in classical sources and cultivating the Catholic Philosophical heritage, this tradition is known for creative engagement with major philosophers of every era and bold responses to the themes and issues of contemporary philosophy

Brief History and Guidelines At the 1949 meeting of the American Catholic Philosophical Association in Boston, the Executive Council voted to give the Association's first Aquinas Medal (then called the Cardinal Spellman-Aquinas Medal) to Jacques Maritain of Princeton University. The Medal was to be presented at the 1950 meeting in St. Paul, Minnesota, but Maritain was unable to attend that meeting. As a result, the awarding of the Medal was postponed until the 1951 meeting in New York City. Also at the 1951 meeting, the Executive Council voted to give the second Aquinas Medal to Etienne Gilson. Gilson received the Aquinas Medal at the 1952 Annual Meeting in Cleveland. At the Cleveland Meeting, the Executive Council also voted not to award an Aquinas Medal in 1953. At the Annual Meeting of 1953 in Notre Dame, the Executive Council articulated the following standards for future Aquinas Medalists:
"Outstanding teaching; personal publications of permanent and scholarly value; influence upon American philosophical thought without reference to membership in the American Catholic Philosophical Association."
At the 1987 Annual Meeting in Buffalo, New York, the Executive Council revisited the issue, and recommended the following rules for awarding the Aquinas Medal:
- Former recipients are ineligible.
- The award must not be given to a less-than-worthy recipient, but a serious effort will be made each year to find a worthy one.
- The recipient should be well known through his or her writings to members of the ACPA, and should be recognized as having contributed significantly to the development of philosophy in the Catholic tradition.
- Those selecting the recipient will apply the above criteria each according to his or her own judgment, since it is not possible to find an automatic way of making a decision. Of course, discussion should precede the choice.
- Long-standing membership in the ACPA shall count as a favorable factor in assessing nominees.
- The vote of the ACPA Executive Council shall be by secret ballot. An absolute majority of votes will be required, with the person on the preceding balling obtaining the fewest votes being dropped from the next ballot until such a majority is reached.
- Recommendations for the Medal should be made to the Chairperson of the Nominating Committee (the immediate past-President) by December 1st, along with supporting documentation.
The Nominating Committee for the Aquinas Medal consists of three persons: the immediate past-President of the Association and two others appointed by him/her. Any member of the ACPA may submit recommendations for the Aquinas Medal to the Chairperson of the Nominating Committee. The "supporting documentation" that accompanies a recommendation should include a curriculum vitae of the person being recommended. At the 1994 Annual Meeting, the Executive Council passed a resolution mandating that the Nominating Committee must submit the names of at least two nominees to be voted on by the Executive Council.
