Description
A First Glance at St. Thomas Aquinas: A Handbook for Peeping Thomists by Ralph McInerny provides an introduction to the philosophical system of St. Thomas Aquinas, exploring how his views on knowledge and reality differ from modern alternatives. The book places Thomism within the broader context of philosophical inquiry, discussing its relationship with theology and the impact of Aristotle's works on Christian thought. McInerny guides readers through key concepts such as art, nature, causes, and motion, showing how Thomas used these ideas to address problems presented by Aristotle. The text is supported by excerpts from various Thomistic writings, including articles from both Summas. For further reading, the book includes an annotated list of available English translations of Thomas's works, along with bibliographical notes grouped by subject.
