In this cogent and multifaceted introduction to the great Saints work, Edward Feser argues that you cannot fully understand Aquinas philosophy without his theology and vice-versa. Covering his thoughts on the soul, natural law, metaphysics, and the interaction of faith and reason, this will prove a indispensible resource for students, experts or the general reader.
