Abstract
Thomas Compton Carleton, S.J., was a seventeenth-century English Jesuit philosopher-theologian. His major philosophical work, the Philosophia Universa, is a model of Jesuit pedagogical practice insofar as it stays true to a fundamentally Aristotelian vision of philosophy, as required by the Jesuit Ratio Studiorum, but expresses originality in its theses and tenor.
