Riassunto

Thomas Aquinas is a giant among philosophers, yet his philosophy is generally considered to be outdated. While in part this is due to the several centuries separating the culture of his times from ours, another issue modern readers may have is the comprehensiveness of his scope, leaving no field of human knowledge untouched. However, a right approach to his thought may reveal how often his pronouncement on each subject is relevant and straightforward, notwithstanding the simplicity of the same basic concepts he introduces as tools to analyze any object of inquiry. Moreover, and most importantly, Aquinas still has a lot to say that bears on the questions and doubts of our contemporaneity, still offering a key to many issues of our times. In the present book, the author succeeds in effectively synthesizing the philosophy of Saint Thomas without indulging in technicalities and always keeping an eye open to our present.
