Fr. Norman Fenton, O.P.
Fr. Fenton came to the Dominican House in 1977 to teach philosophy. Earlier he had taught courses in philosophy at Dominican College in Racine, Wisconsin, and at the University of Dallas. Even earlier he had practiced law (rather briefly), thereafter had begun to pursue a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Chicago, embraced Roman Catholicism in 1952, and entered the Dominican Order as a novice in 1955. At the Dominican House of Studies he has taught courses in the history of philosophy, in metaphysics and epistemology, and in other philosophic subdisciplines. His special philosophic concern has been to nourish in his own mind and communicate to others a full-bodied realism in the Thomistic tradition.
