This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Thomas Aquinas and Medieval Philosophy The revived interest in Scholastic philosophy, which received such a powerful impetus from the publication of the zeterni Patris by Leo XIII, in 1879, far from abating, continues to in crease. In ecclesiastical circles the works of Saint Thomas are of prime importance, especially since Pope Pius X. In his Letter against Modernism (1907) and in the Doctoris Angelici decreed that Scholastic philosophy according to the mind and method of St. Thomas should be the basis for the theological studies which are to be a safeguard and bulwark against modernis tic errors and tendencies. The new Code of Canon Law imposes on all professors of philosophy and theology the obligation of adhering religiously to the doctrine and principles of St. Thomas. The Angelic Doctor was the greatest of many men who cultivated reason and used it in the defence and explanation of Christian truth. Many volumes would be required to give a comprehensive review of thirteenth century conditions and of his in uence on medieval thought, and the following pages do not pretend to give such a complete and comprehensive review. It is hoped, how ever, that they will serve to explain, in a brief and summary manner, the in uence of St. Thomas on medieval philosophy, thereby creating a desire for deeper study of that important period. For those who intend to pursue ecclesiastical studies some knowledge of conditions prevailing in the Scholastic period is essential, since without this knowledge they will find it im possible properly to appreciate the work of the great Scholastic doctors. A11 cannot be told in one book, but even a short history of that period, with mention of the principal errors which the Scholastics were called upon to combat, will add to our gratitude for the services rendered by those enlightened and valiant de fenders of the Faith. The matter is treated in a popular way, so that from the sketches given even the ordinary reader can form a fairly accurate conception of the position that St. Thomas holds in the history of medieval philosophy. For the benefit of those who may wish to make a deeper study of this subject there is added a bibliography, which will be found especially helpful to beginners.

In ecclesiastical circles the works of Saint Thomas are of prime importance, especially since Pope Pius X. in his Letter against Modernism (1907) and in the "Doctoris Angelici" (1914), decreed that Scholastic philosophy accrding to the mind and method of St. Thomas should be the basis for the theological studies which are to be a safeguard and bulwark against modernistic errors and tendencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas Several methods may be used in attempting a comprehensive state ment of the philosophy of a great thinker, but frequently no one method alone Will enable us to grasp the essence of his system. Sev eral methods must be used to Obtain a comprehensive knowledge of an extensive and important philosophical system. Because Of the receptive character Of Scholasticism, especially in the thirteenth cen tury, and because of its high regard for tradition and authority, we shall consider the thinkers and philosophical movements to which St. Thomas was indebted. But this method is by no means the only one or the most important. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Christian Philosophy of St Thomas Aquinas written by Etienne Gilson and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 819 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this final edition of his classic study of St. Thomas Aquinas, Etienne Gilson presents the sweeping range and organic unity of Thomistic philosophical thought. Gilson demonstrates that Aquinas drew from a wide spectrum of sources in the development of his thought—from Aristotle, to the Arabic and Jewish philosophers of his time, as well as from Christian writers. What results is an insightful introduction to the thought of Aquinas and the Scholastic philosophy of the Middles Ages. Praise for The Christian Philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas “As the only English version of any edition of Le Thomisme, and therefore for years a kind of manual for North American students approaching Aquinas, the book deserves recirculation. With it appears the masterful ‘Catalogue of St. Thomas’ works’ prepared by the Rev. I. T. Eschmann to accompany Shook's translation and available nowhere else. . . . Its overview of principles and conclusions in the history of the texts has not been surpassed.”—The Philosophical Quarterly “[This volume presents] L. K. Shook's English translation of the final version of the late Etienne Gilson's (1884-1978) classic overview of the Christian philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas. . . . Gibson was one of the pioneers, in the early part of [the twentieth] century, of medieval philosophy in general and the work of Aquinas in particular. He sought to restore the study of Aquinas’ texts an historical sensitivity, thus rescuing them from the near canonical status accorded in the well-intentioned but inhabiting late nineteenth-century palpal revival of Thomistic studies and preserved in the so-called ‘manual theology’ of the seminar curriculum. . . . The endnotes are an invaluable resource, as is the still unsurpassed catalogue of Aquinas’ works compiled by Eschmann and included as an invaluable appendix here.”—Theological Book Review

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political Ideas of St. Thomas Aquinas Beasts, without instruction, devoid of experience, deprived of mod els, know immediately what to do and how to act: the newly born lamb at the mere sight of a wolf runs for safety; birds hatched from eggs that have been removed from the nest, when the time comes, build a nest identical to the one from which they came and which they never saw; ailing animals instinctively pick out the herbs that will cure their illnesses. Man, however, is born with a common vague notion in place of this precise and particularized instinct. To that general notion he applies reason and thus is able to take care of himself. He, too, discovers the herbs that cure his diseases, but as the result of a process of reasoning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Function of the Phantasm in St Thomas Aquinas Classic Reprint written by Henry Carr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Function of the Phantasm in St. Thomas Aquinas The intellect directly knows universals and only by very obscure and complicated reasoning can Aquinas bring the intellect to know particulars. On meeting this at first, it strikes us as rather ridiculous to say that it is difficult to explain how man as an intellectual creature can know individuals. We think that we do know individuals. As a matter of fact, a little reflection will show that the real difficulty is to explain how even in sense knowledge an animal can ever know the individual. Aristotle says that the intellect grasps only the universal. No man since his time more perfectly assimilated this than Thomas Aquinas. One could wish that Aristotle too had considered a point of view and a very important one, on which he is silent.
