Reviews
Shields and Pasnau's goal is to furnish the student of Aquinas with the basic philosophical knowledge necessary to read and understand the philosophical theologian's works. They do that not only, as I have said, by interacting with Aquinas's own works, but also by offering and commenting on relevant practical examples that facilitate understanding, especially for the beginner. Furthermore, the primary sources listed in the suggested readings indicated at the end ofeach chapter (and throughout the individual chapters) are a further helpful addition to guide the student in the challenging but rewarding endeavor of understanding Aquinas. The book is organized in a helpfully systematic way, and the exposition is clear and highly readable., "Shields and Pasnau's goal is to furnish the student of Aquinas with the basic philosophical knowledge necessary to read and understand the philosophical theologian's works.
