About this listen

An enthusiastic admirer of the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas, professor and philosopher Peter Kreeft details the rational thought and precise literary talent that established Aquinas as the foremost thinker of his time - and as the most important philosopher for the almost 200 years between Aristotle and Descartes.

A landmark of philosophical achievement, Aquinas's Summa Theologica has given theologians and philosophers much to discuss since the 13th century. Peter Kreeft explains why.

I never knew much about aquinas but this was a great introduction. It is nice to hear an author who is fair and objective and whom you feel you can trust. Well done.

Lovely summary

Clear narration. Good balance between analysis of St Thomas and XXI century contextualisation. Doesn't exhaust the topic of course but it invites the listener to deepen. Excellent.

Great introduction to St Thomas

This was very interesting! I love Prof Kreeft's books and lectures, they are always so thoughtful and thought provoking! I'm so glad I listened to this one! It made me understand the importance of Thomas Aquinas in the systems of western thought, and the main themes and concepts of Suma.

A wonderful introduction to Aquinas!
