St. Thomas Aquinas: Italy 1224-1274 (Giants of Philosophy Audio Classics Series)

"Although not popular in his day, St. Thomas Aquinas produced momentous summations of the facts of faith and knowledge. His great work, Summa Theologiae, constitutes history's most complete system of Christian philosophy. His aim was to reconcile teh best of the ancient world (composed mostly of the thought of Aristotle) with the Divine wisdom revealed in teh Bible. St. Thomas offered proofs of the existence of God and set limits to the power of reason; he gave an account of the nature and constitution of the world, and outlined the soul's road to blessedness. St. Thomas's thought continues to exert a powerful influence on Catholic philosophy today." "The Giants of Philosophy audio cassettes are dramatic presentations, in understandable language, of the concerns, questions, interests, and overall world view of history's greatest philosophers.
