St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to
cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947
at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our
lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals
' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately
spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters,
films, in a world of immodesty " We at St. Pius X Press are calling
for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic
books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This
book is a photographic reprint of the original The original has
been inspected and many imperfections in the existing copy have
been corrected. At Saint Pius X Press our goal is to remain
faithful to the original in both photographic reproductions and in
textual reproductions that are reprinted. Photographic
reproductions are given a page by page inspection, whereas textual
reproductions are proofread to correct any errors in reproduction.
Thomists have traditionally presented philosophy and theology in
St. Thomas Aquinas' own native scholastic methodology. This
methodology allowed philosophical and theological disciplines to
advance objectively and in a scientific manner for centuries -
understanding 'science' in the Aristotelian sense. Hugon's
multi-volume work uses this methodology, offering formal arguments
with clearly identifiable premises and conclusions and formal
objections with clearly identifiable distinctions, etc., covering
practically all the parts of speculative philosophy. The manual is
a true work of synthesis of seven centuries of Thomistic
tradition.This translation thus puts into print and at the reach of
English speakers an introduction to Thomistic philosophy that
follows the scholastic scientific methodology faithfully, thus
providing them with a solid means of learning the all-but-forgotten
art of scholastic disputation. This Cosmology volume covers the
first part of natural philosophy, considering the physical world
from the point of view of its efficient, material, formal, and
final causes.
