Thomas Aquinas (1224/6-1274) was first and foremost a Christian
theologian. Yet he was also one of the greatest philosophers of the
Middle Ages. Drawing on classical authors, and incorporating ideas
from Jewish and Arab sources, he came to offer a rounded and
lasting account of the origin of the universe and of the things to
be found within it, especially human beings. Aquinas wrote many
works, but his greatest achievement is undoubtedly the Summa
Theologiae. This presents his most mature thinking and is the best
introduction to his philosophical (and theological) ideas. Few
secondary books on Aquinas focus solely on the Summa, but the
present volume does just that. Including work by some of the best
Aquinas scholars of the last half decade, it provides a solid
introduction to one of the landmarks of western thinking.

In this collection of essays, which were first delivered as
lectures at the International Academy of Philosophy in the
Principality of Liechtenstein in 1998, distinguished philosopher
Peter Geach confronts some of the most difficult issues in
philosophy with the precision of a logician and the grace and wit
of an accomplished stylist. These essays constitute a significant
addition to Professor Geach's esteemed body of work in philosophy,
as he addresses not only problems of logic and analytic philosophy,
but also of epistemology and ethics. Geach's engaging discussions
of human nature, truth, goodness, and love provide probing insight
into perennial themes in an appealing, highly readable style which
is nevertheless forceful and exacting. Geach knows the subjectivity
of his own experience and belief and is able to illuminate that
experience and belief by submitting it to a rational and
philosophical inquiry. His avowed Catholic perspective is neither a
weapon nor a shield. It is an integral part of the sustained,
systematic, and constructive approach to philosophy demonstrated in
these essays. They will certainly provoke serious reflection even
in those inclined to disagree with Geach's conclusions.
