Analytic Thomism or Averroism: There Is No Third

In the book Essays on the Aristotelian Tradition by Anthony Kenny there is an essay called "Body, Soul, and Intellect in Aquinas". This essay should be required reading for any one who gives a fig about Aquinas' philosophy of the mind; which should be everybody. For any good TACer there is a lot to think about and a lot to disagree with, but I just want to quote Kenny's conclusion,

We must add Wittgenstein to Aquinas if we are to save Aquinas from falling despite himself into the arms of Averroes.
