Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Summa Theologica is a compendium of theology written by Thomas Aquinas between 1265 and 1273. In Roman Catholicism it is the sum of all known learning and doctrine, of all that can be known about God and humanity's relations with God -- a landmark in the history of theology that famously offers five proofs of God's existence, the first three of which are cosmological arguments; the fourth, a moral argument; and the fifth, a teleological argument. The third quarter of the thirteenth century marked the first decisive philosophical encounter between Hellenism and Christianity. The rediscovery of Aristotle's works after the Dark Ages ushered in a new era of intellectual fervor in Europe, and the work of Thomas Aquinas is a commentary on Aristotle, whose writings were lost to the non-Arabic world until the beginning of the Thirteenth Century. To many, Aristotle's worldview was a pagan threat to Christianity. To Aquinas, it provided an exciting cosmological framework on which to build an all-encompassing Christian worldview. His thoughts unfolding with a calmness of order and an assurance of judgment, Aquinas explores in the Summa the primary role of the senses in the acquisition of knowledge and the metaphysical analysis of things in terms of matter and form. But unlike Aristotle's "God," who did not care one whit about the world, the God of Christianity, insisted Aquinas, is a personal God. Like Aristotle, Aquinas believed that each human being has a soul and that all created things have a purpose. For Christians, all are part of a divine plan. This dazzling synthesis of Catholic doctrine has had a profound impact on Christian thinking since the thirteenth century and has become the de facto official teaching of the Catholic Church -- the intellectual underpinning of the Church to this day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The "Summa Theologica" Of St. Thomas Aquinas, Vol. 2: Second Part Qq. Ci.-CXL On the contrary, Tully says (de Inv. Rhet. Ii.) that it is by piety that we do our duty towards our kindred and well wishers of our country and render them faithful service. I answer that, Man becomes a debtor to other men in various ways, according to their various excellence and the various benefits received from them. On both counts God holds first place, for He is supremely excellent, and is for us the first principle of being and government. In the second place, the principles of our being and government are our parents and our country, that have given us birth and nourishment. Consequently man is debtor chie y to his parents and his country, after God. Wherefore just as it belongs to religion to give worship to God, so does it belong to piety, in the second place, to give worship to one's parents and one's country. The worship due to our parents includes the worship given to all our kindred, since our kinsfolk are those who descend from the same parents, according to the Philosopher (ethic. The worship given to our country includes homage to all our fellow-citizens and to all the friends of our country. Therefore piety extends chie y to these. Reply Obj. I. The greater includes the lesser: wherefore the worship due to God includes the worship due to our parents as a particular. Hence it is written (malach. I. If I be a father, where is lily honour P Consequently the term piety extends also to the divine worship. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The "Summa Theologica" Of St. Thomas Aquinas, Vol. 2: First Part, Second Number Qq. XLIX-LXXXIX After treating of human acts and passions, we now pass on to the consideration of the principles of human acts, and firstly of intrinsic principles, secondly of extrinsic principles. The intrinsic principle is the power and the habit; but as we have treated of the powers in the First Part, it remains for us to consider the habits. And in the first place we shall consider them in general: in the second place we shall con sider Virtues and vices and other like habits, which are the principles of human acts. Concerning habits in general there are four questions to be considered: Firstly, the substance of habits; secondly, their subject; thirdly, the cause of their generation, increase, and corruption; fourthly, how they are distinguished from one another. Under the first head, there are four points of inquiry: (1) Whether habit is a quality P (2) Whether it is a distinct species of quality (3) Whether habit implies an order to an act (4) Of the necessity of habit.

Further, then does a man seem to act for an end, when he acts deliberately.
