Originally published in The Hafner Library of Classics in 1953, The Political Ideas of St. Thomas Aquinas provides important insights into the human side of one of the most influential medieval philosophers. St. Thomas Aquinas (c. 1226–1274) is recognized for having synthesized Christian theology with Aristotelian metaphysics, and for his spirited philosophical defense of Christianity that was addressed to the non-Christian reader. In this collection, editor Dino Bigongiari has selected Aquinas’s key writings on politics, justice, social problems, and forms of government, including the philosopher’s main works: Regimine Principus (On Kinship) and The Summa Theologica. In an authoritative discussion of the historical background and evolution of St. Thomas Aquinas’s political ideas, Dr. Bigongiari’s commentary explains this philosopher’s enduring influence and legacy. Accompanying explanatory notes and a helpful glossary of unusual terms and familiar words help to make this practical volume an ideal text for students and general readers alike.

St. Thomas Aquinas considers that all knowledge begins with one's own sensory experience, from which various degrees of abstraction can develop. The learning that one has of God also follows paths that derive from experience: God is known by his effects. On these questions, as on other issues, we can find no specific treatises. We need to investigate among his writings where the arguments are addressed, which is usually in more than one writing. This book deals, in the first part, with questions related to the Law, taken from the Theological Summae, and the second part is its own specific writing on the subject. Good Study.

Saint Thomas is especially valuable for his contribution to law and politics from both the philosophical perspective of reason and theological perspective of faith. He picks up where Aristotle left off by examining man's final end and the relation of habits and passions to its attainment or default.

In this startling book, Drury overturns the long-standing reputation of Thomas Aquinas as the most moderate and rational exponent of the Christian faith. She reveals Aquinas to be one of the most zealous Dominicans (Domini Canes) or Hounds of the Lord--an ardent defender of papal supremacy, the Inquisition, and the persecution of Jews. Despite her unstinting criticism, Drury sets out to retrieve the rationalism and naturalism that Aquinas failed to reconcile with his faith.
