Riassunto

Nature, Knowledge And God: An Introduction To Thomistic Philosophy is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical ideas of St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Western philosophy. Written by Benignus, Brother, a scholar and practitioner of Thomistic philosophy, this book provides a clear and accessible introduction to Aquinas' ideas, including his views on the nature of reality, the human person, knowledge, and God.The book begins by examining Aquinas' understanding of nature, which he saw as a system of causes and effects that could be understood through observation and reason. From there, the author explores Aquinas' ideas about the human person, including his view that human beings are a unity of body and soul, and his understanding of free will and moral responsibility.The book also delves into Aquinas' epistemology, or theory of knowledge, which emphasizes the importance of experience and reason in understanding the world. Finally, the book explores Aquinas' ideas about God, including his arguments for the existence of God and his understanding of God as the ultimate source of all reality.Throughout the book, the author provides clear explanations of Aquinas' ideas and their relevance to contemporary philosophical debates. He also includes helpful summaries and study questions at the end of each chapter, making this book an excellent resource for students and scholars of philosophy, theology, and related fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
