Widely recognized as one of the dominant figures in Western
intellectual tradition, Thomas Aquinas has influenced a variety of
fields of thought for centuries. This new anthology of his
writings, translated from the original Latin by Hood, contains
selections from a broad range of his topics and ideas. It includes
works of systemic theology, commentaries on the Bible, Aristotle,
and other texts of the classical tradition. Divided into eight
chapters, the book offers substantial selections from each of
Aquinas' areas of interest: Metaphysics, Natural Science, Human
Nature, Law and Ethics, Catholic Theology, the Study of the Bible,
Art and Beauty, and the Social World. In vivid translations and
enlightening introductions to the selections, Hood provides readers
with a rich overview of the important work of this unique
thinker.
Without violating the integrity of the original texts, Hood
provides his own translations of Aquinas's work and introduces
readers to his work in all its diversity. Selections present
Aquinas' views on a variety of topics of profound contemporary as
well as medieval significance, including politics, economic
exchange, war theory, sexual morality, and the role and status of
women and religious minorities. Thus, without neglecting subjects
such as metaphysics, epistemology, and natural law, which are the
focus of other anthologies, Hood offers a broader portrait of
Aquinas, his thoughts, and the diversity and richness of the
culture that gave rise to both.
