This book introduces Thomas Aquinas's own principal fascinations in
philosophy: rational theology, metaphysics, human nature,
philosophy of mind, and value theory. It offers an introduction to
his overarching explanatory framework in a distinctive deployment

This series offers central philosophical treatises of Aquinas in
new, state-of-the-art translations distinguished by their accuracy
and use of clear and non-technical modern vocabulary. Annotation
and commentary accessible to undergraduates make the series an
ideal vehicle for the study of Aquinas by readers approaching him
from a variety of backgrounds and interests.
Drawn from a wide range of writings and featuring state-of-the-art
translations, Basic Works offers convenient access to Thomas
Aquinas' most important discussions of nature, being and essence,
divine and human nature, and ethics and human action. The
translations all capture Aquinas's sharp, transparent style and
display terminological consistency. Many were originally published
in the acclaimed translation-cum-commentary series The Hackett
Aquinas , edited by Robert Pasnau and Jeffrey Hause. Others appear
here for the first time: Eleonore Stump and Stephen Chanderbahn's
translation of On the Principles of Nature , Peter King's
translation of On Being and Essence , and Thomas Williams'
translations of the treatises On Happiness and On Human Acts from
the Summa theologiae. Basic Works will enable students to immerse
themselves in Aquinas's thought by offering his fundamental works
without internal abridgements. It will also appeal to anyone in
search of an up-to-date, one-volume collection containing Aquinas'
essential philosophical contributions--from the Five Ways to the
immortality of the soul, and from the nature of happiness to virtue
theory, and on to natural law.

This new and updated edition of Christopher Shields and Robert
Pasnau's The Philosophy of Aquinas introduces the Aquinas'
overarching explanatory framework in order to provide the necessary
background to his philosophical investigations across a wide range
of areas: rational theology, metaphysics, philosophy of human
nature, philosophy of mind, and ethical and political theory.
Although not intended to provide a comprehensive evaluation of all
aspects of Aquinas' far-reaching writings, the volume presents a
systematic introduction to the principal areas of his philosophy
and attends no less to Aquinas' methods and argumentative
strategies than to his ultimate conclusions. The authors have
updated the second edition in light of recent scholarship on
Aquinas, while streamlining and refining their presentation of the
key elements of Aquinas' philosophy.

Robert Pasnau traces the developments of metaphysical thinking
through four rich but for the most part neglected centuries of
philosophy, running from the thirteenth century through to the
seventeenth. At no period in the history of philosophy, other than
perhaps our own, have metaphysical problems received the sort of
sustained attention they received during the later Middle Ages, and
never has a whole philosophical tradition come crashing down as
quickly and completely as did scholastic philosophy in the
seventeenth century. The thirty chapters work through various
fundamental metaphysical issues, sometimes focusing more on
scholastic thought, sometimes on the seventeenth century. Pasnau
begins with the first challenges to the classical scholasticism of
Bonaventure and Thomas Aquinas, runs through prominent figures like
John Duns Scotus and William Ockham, and ends in the seventeenth
century, with the end of the first stage of developments in
post-scholastic philosophy: on the continent, with Descartes and
Gassendi, and in England, with Boyle and Locke.
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.

The third volume of The Cambridge Translations of Medieval Philosophical Texts will allow access, for the first time in English, to major texts that form the debate over mind and knowledge at the center of medieval philosophy. Beginning with 13th-century attempts to classify the soul's powers and to explain the mind's place within the soul, the volume proceeds systematically to consider human knowledge, divine illumination, intentionality and mental representation. This volume will be an important resource for scholars and students of medieval philosophy, history, theology and literature.

This book is a major contribution to the history of philosophy in the later medieval period (1250-1350). It focuses on cognitive theory, a subject of intense investigation during those years. In fact many of the issues that dominate philosophy of mind and epistemology today--intentionality, mental representation, skepticism, realism--were hotly debated in the later medieval period. This book offers a careful analysis of these debates, primarily through the work of Thomas Aquinas, Peter John Olivi, and Willam Ockham.

This major new study of Thomas Aquinas, the most influential philosopher of the Middle Ages, offers a clear and accessible guide to the central project of Aquinas's philosophy--the understanding of human nature. Robert Pasnau sets the philosophy in the context of ancient and modern thought, and argues for groundbreaking proposals for understanding some of the most difficult areas of Aquinas's thought--the relationship of soul to body, the workings of sense and intellect, the will and the passions, and personal identity.
