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. The philosophical thinking of
Aquinas is the result of reason being challenged to relate to many
theological conceptions of the Christian tradition. Gilson
carefully reviews how Aquinas grapples with the relation itself of
faith and reason and continuing through the existence and nature of
God and His creation, the world and its creatures, especially human
beings with their power of intellect, will, and moral life. He
concludes this study by discussing the life of people in society,
along with their purpose and final destiny. Gilson demonstrates
that Aquinas drew from a wide spectrum of sources in the
development of his thought-from the speculations of the ancient
Greeks such as Aristotle, to the Arabic and Jewish philosophers of
his time, as well as from Christian writers and scripture. The
Christian Philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas offers students of
philosophy and medieval studies an insightful introduction to the
thought of Aquinas and the Scholastic philosophy of the Middles
Ages, insights that are still revelant for today.
