3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting approach to Aquinas, lacks in depth context,
By A Customer
This review is from: PHILOSOPHY THOMAS AQUINAS CL (Hardcover)
Martin separates Aquinas into 5 areas: logic, metaphysics, God, ethics, and knowledge. He approaches each with an introductory commentary on Aquinas's teachings about each topic, followed by an excerpt from Aquinas himself. The approach works, but the passage selections seemed limited as most were taken from commentary on Aristotle. Though this is no doubt a key part of Aquinas's philosophy, the passages selected are rather dry in their diversity. Martin would have been better off to drop his excluding qualifier against the Summa Theologiae. It could also use more historical background.
