ST. THOMAS AQUINAS

ΠΕΡΙ ΤΟΥ ΟΝΤΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΤΗΣ ΟΥΣΙΑΣ
Ο Θωμάς Ακινάτης (Thomas de Aquino, 1225-1274) είναι μια κορυφαία φυσιογνωμία του Μεσαίωνα. Έχει συγγράψει μια σειρά από θεμελιώδη θεολογικά και φιλοσοφικά βιβλία, ανάμεσα στα οποία μια ιδιαίτερη θέση κατέχει το νεανικό φιλοσοφικό του πόνημα: «Περί του όντος και της ουσίας» («De ente et essentia»). Πρόκειται για ένα εγχειρίδιο μεταφυσικής, που χρησίμευε ως πανεπιστημιακό βοήθημα για τους δομινικανούς μοναχούς που σπούδαζαν στο Παρίσι. Αλλά τόση είναι η πυκνότητα και η ωριμότητα του λόγου, ώστε αυτό το μικρό έργο (oposculum) δεν έχει να ζηλ...

ΥΣΤΕΡΗ ΜΕΣΑΙΩΝΙΚΗ ΠΟΛΙΤΙΚΗ ΘΕΩΡΙΑ
Ο Θωμάς Ακινάτης, ο Μαρσίλιος της Πάδοβα και ο Μπάρτολος του Σαξοφερράτο εμπλούτισαν και καθόρισαν τη συζήτηση για το πολιτικό φαινόμενο κατά τον 13ο και τον 14ο αιώνα, ερχόμενοι συχνά σε ρήξη με παραδοσιακές ιδέες και σε σύγκρουση με κατεστημένες κοσμικές και θρησκευτικές εξουσίες. Η πραγμάτευση της μοναρχίας υπό το πρίσμα μιας σύνθεσης αριστοτελικών και χριστιανικών αντιλήψεων από τον Ακινάτη, η σκιαγράφηση και η δικαιολόγηση μιας ιδεώδους μορφής πολιτεύματος που εδράζεται σε ευρεία λαϊκή βάση από τον Μαρσίλιο, και η νομική θεμελίωση της...

(P/B) THE CARDINAL VIRTUES
Richard J. Regan's new translation of texts from Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica IIII--on the virtues prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance--combines accuracy with an accessibility unmatched by previous presentations of these texts. While remaining true to Aquinas' Latin and preserving a question-and-answer format, the translation judiciously omits references and citations unessential to the primary argument. It thereby clears a path through the original especially suitable for beginning students of Aquinas. Regan's Introduction ca...

(P/B) AQUINAS: SELECTED WRITINGS
"The greatest happiness is for the mind to attain God" In his reflections on Christianity, Saint Thomas Aquinas (c.1225-74) forged a unique synthesis of ancient philosophy and medieval theology. Preoccupied with the relationship between faith and reason, he was influenced both by Aristotle's rational world view, and by the powerful belief that wisdom and truth can ultimately only be reached through divine revelation. Thomas's writings, which contain highly influential statements of fundamental Christian doctrine, as well as observations o...
