| book description |

Philosophy for busy people. Listen to a succinct account of the philosophy of Aquinas in just one hour. Thomas Aquinas remains the unacknowledged maestro of Scholasticism â€“ the static, cumulative philosophy of the medieval period. More a method of learning than pure theology, Aquinasâ€™ Scholasticism saw the careful synthesis of Christian doctrine with Greek rationalism â€“ an amalgamation that came to define Catholic philosophy. Aquinasâ€™ influence stretches far across the western world; much modern philosophy has been conceived as either a reaction against, or in accordance with, his original ideas. This audiobook showcases an account of Thomas Aquinasâ€™s life and philosophical ideas â€“ entertainingly written and is above all easy listening. Also included are selections from Thomas Aquinasâ€™s work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Aquinas in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.
