From 1945 on for two decades, Father William Wade was Chairman of
the Department of Philosophy at St. Louis University. This present
volume, a recovery of his own 1935 Ph.D dissertation, was
originally written under the direction of Vernon J. Bourke, later
himself a renowned interpreter of both St. Augustine and St. Thomas
Aquinas. Its themes continued to influence Father Wade throughout
his life as Chairman and as a teacher of Philosophy. In this last
role, he was known for his brilliant use of Socratic method. As a
philosopher, he was by the rule of his Jesuit Order, and by choice,
a Thomist. However, reading his dissertation one can see his
profound respect for Augustine, and back beyond that for Plato, as
well as a likely source of his affection for the method of
Socrates. In his dissertation, Wade displays deep understanding of
relationships between Greek and medieval thought as well as of the
different influences of Plato and Aristotle by way of Augustine and
Thomas. Centring on their theories of teaching and learning, his
text presents accurate, concise, and readable expositions of
Platonic and Aristotelian epistemologies, as these were developed
by the later saints. Along the way, it offers a fine introduction
to the two main streams in medieval philosophy and theology, with
their respective logical, metaphysical, physical, psychological,
educational, and semiotic doctrines. Any modern teacher of
historical philosophy can read Father Wade's work for personal
enjoyment and for a profitable aid toward classroom instruction.
