description: "Étienne Henri Gilson was a French Catholic philosopher and historian of philosophy. A scholar of medieval philosophy, he originally specialised in the thought of Descartes; he also philosophized in the \"existential\" tradition of Thomas Aquinas, although he did not consider himself a neo-Thomist philosopher. In 1946, he attained the distinction of being elected an \"Immortal\" (member) of the Académie française. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature."
