Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Aquinas on Mind is an excellent introduction to the init ially strange 'medieval' pursuit of the understanding of understanding.... the work serves well as a pedagogical vehicle for for teaching aquinas to undergraduate students of philosophy and theology. A good number of Aquinas's qouted texts are given in the original Latin in endnotes for the more advanced student, with a modest bibliography (and index) for further research on the topic..
–Canadian Philosophical Reviews
Aquinas on Mind brings out the depth and interest of the texts it discusses and should thus bring St. Thomas back into the centre of an extremely important debate which of course has ramifications well beyond the boundaries of academic philosophy.
