John Francis Xavier Knasas (born 1948) is a leading Existential Thomist in the Neo-Thomist movement, best known for engaging such thinkers as Bernard Lonergan, Alasdair MacIntyre and Jeremy Wilkins in disputes over human cognition to affirm a Thomistic epistemology of direct realism[1][2][3] and defending the thought of Jacques Maritain, Étienne Gilson and Fr. Joseph Owens.[4] He holds the Bishop Wendelin J. Nold Endowed Chair as Professor of Philosophy at the Center for Thomistic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in Houston[5] and earned his doctorate at the University of Toronto, under the direction of Fr.
