Edited and Translated by Paul E. Sigmund. Norton Critical Edition. W. W. Norton, 1987. This collection contains new translations of selections from Aquinas and commentaries on the Thomist tradition from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. It is especially useful on the controversies over the meaning of natural law and the importance of Aquinas’s effort to reconcile Aristotle with the platonic tradition of Augustine. It was enlightening to see how the arguments of Aquinas were used by some twentieth-century theologians to support democratic and communitarian views that would have shocked Aquinas and his monarchist contemporaries. The selections from Jacques Maritain were especially enlightening. The translations of Aquinas were clear and readable. I will leave it to Latinists to assess their accuracy. I was surprised that there was not more substantial discussion of the principle of double effect and the arguments of abortion and contraception. After thirty years, this book is still a useful and relatively painless way to get to know Aquinas. The selections not only include St. Thomas Aquinas's views ongovernment, law, war, property, and sexual ethics, but also provide thetheological, epistemological, and psychological background for hispolitical and ethical thought, including the Five Proofs on theexistence of God and Aquinas's theories of knowledge, the soul, thepurpose of man, and the order of the universe. Throughout the book,footnotes explain technical terms and historical, biblical, andclassical references. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

The selections not only include St. Thomas Aquinas's views on government, law, war, property, and sexual ethics, but also provide the theological, epistemological, and psychological background for his political and ethical thought, including the Five Proofs on the existence of God and Aquinas's theories of knowledge, the soul, the purpose of man, and the order of the universe. Throughout the book, footnotes explain technical terms and historical, biblical, and classical references. "Backgrounds and Sources" follows the text, with selections from the writings of Aristotle, St. Augustine, and Dionysius the Areopagite. "Interpretations" traces Aquinas's influence on medieval thought, on Roman Catholicism during the Renaissance, on early modern political thought (Richard Hooker and Francisco Suarez), on nineteenth-and twentieth-century papal social thought, and on contemporary Christian Democratic political parties in Europe and Latin America. The volume concludes with "Contemporary Problems in Thomistic Ethics", which contains eight analyses of the influence of Aquinas's thought on modern debates on war, contraception, and abortion. A Selected Bibliography is included. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
