Austin Woodbury

Austin Woodbury

Austin M. Woodbury (born 1899 near Spencer, in the Hawkesbury Valley of New South Wales) was an Australian Catholic philosopher.

Woodbury joined the Marist Fathers and gained a doctorate in Rome, studying under the scholastic philosopher Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange. In 1945, he founded the Aquinas Academy in Sydney, a school of philosophy aimed mainly at lay people. He headed the Academy until 1975, teaching a strictly scholastic philosophy based on the teaching of Thomas Aquinas. A combative personality, he was often in conflict with the atheist Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sydney, John Anderson. Woodbury died in 1979.
