Published posthumously, this study of Aristotle is thoroughly
rewarding and will only increase McCabe's reputation as one of
Britain's finest theologians of recent years.The revival of
interest in Aquinas has run simultaneously with the rise of
interest in Aristotle, on whose philosophy Aquinas based his own.
"On Aquinas" is a masterly work of exposition written with
breathtaking clarity. By the use of simple modern analogy McCabe
really brings Aquinas' thought to life and underlines the crucial
influence of Aquinas on our own contemporary thought. It is rare to
find a work of philosophical exposition which is exciting to read.
Even those who are unfamiliar with Aquinas will find this book
gripping to read. No wonder therefore that McCabe's gifts are so
greatly admired by people as diverse as P.J. Kavanagh (poet)
Anthony Kenny (philosopher) Terry Eagleton (literary and cultural
critic) and Alasdair MacIntyre, whose book "After Virtue" has had
such enormous influence today. "On Aquinas" can only enhance
McCabe's reputation.
