Elizabeth Lowe offers a vivid illustration of how a major shift in the Dominican intellectual tradition occurred. The adoption and eventual promotion of the teachings of Aquinas by the Order of Preachers ran counter to every other current running through the late thirteenth-century Church; most scholastics, the Dominican Order included, were wary of his unconventional teachings. Despite this, the Dominican Order was propelled along their "solitary via Thomae by conflicts between two groups of magistri: Aquinas's early Dominican followers and their more conservative neo-Augustinian brethren.
