Book Description
Few philosophers or theologians exerted as much influence on the shape of Medieval thought as Thomas Aquinas. He ranks amongst the most famous of the Western philosophers and was responsible for almost single-handedly bringing the philosophy of Aristotle into harmony with Christianity. He was also one of the first philosophers to argue that philosophy and theology could support each other. The shape of metaphysics, theology, and Aristotelian thought today still bears the imprint of Aquinas work.
In this extensive and deeply researched study, Eleonore Stump enages Aquinas across the full range of his philosophical writings. She examines Aquinas' major works, Summa Theologiae and Summa Contra Gentiles and clearly assesses the vast range of Aquinas' thought from his metaphysics, theology, philosophy of mind and epistemology to his views on free will, action, the soul and ethics, law and politics. She considers the influence of Aquinas' thought on contemporary philosophy and why he should be still read today.
Review
'Outstanding... I am sure that it will stand for many years as the best contribution to the field.' - Arthur Gibson Trinity College, Cambridge; 'A really magnificent study. The approach throughout is judicious, careful and just plain sensible, both in terms of form and content.' -- Richard Cross, Oriel College, Oxford;
'Many books on Aquinas are of merely historical interest. Many others, though seeking to engage with Aquinas intellectually, often fail to appreciate the true nature of his reasoning. This book, however, brilliantly succeeds both at the level of exegisis and at that of assessment. It displays a scholarly grasp of Aquinas's thought and a skillful ability critically to relate this to some of the most notable recent developments in philosophy. It is essential reading for anyone concerned to understand Aquinas and to evaluate what he says.' -- Brian Davies, Fordham University, New York
