Kenny, Anthony. Aquinas on Being. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2002.
"Anthony Kenny offers a critical examination of a central metaphysical doctrine of Thomas Aquinas, the greatest of the medieval philosophers. Aquinas's account of being is famous and influential: but Kenny argues that it in fact suffers from systematic confusion. Because of the centrality of the doctrine, this has implications for other parts of Aquinas's philosophical system: in particular, Kenny shows that the idea that God is pure being is a hindrance, not a help, to Aquinas's natural theology".

In Aquinas 101, Reverend Francis Selman highlights both the standard and neglected themes from one of the Catholic Church's greatest minds. The result is an engaging, readable, and immensely useful introduction to St. Thomas Aquinas that provides a broad overview for novices and fresh material for Aquinas scholars". Ver más detalles
