Summary

Beginning with a brief overview of Aquinas's life and philosophical career, the authors introduce his overarching explanatory framework in order to provide the necessary background to his philosophical investigations across a wide range of areas: rational theology, metaphysics, philosophy of human nature, philosophy of mind, and ethical and political theory. The volume presents a systematic introduction to the principal areas of his philosophy, attending no less to his methods and argumentative strategies than to his ultimate conclusions. The authors aim to equip philosophers new to Aquinas with the ability to read with ready comprehension throughout his wide-ranging corpus.--, Provided by publisher
