Scott MacDonald is Professor of Philosophy and Norma K. Regan Professor in Christian Studies at Cornell University. Eleonore Stump is the Robert J. Henle Professor of Philosophy at Saint Louis University.
The ten essays by respected scholars in medieval philosophy...
range over a wide number of philosophical and theological topics.
Moreover, they explore connections not only within Aquinas's work,
but between Aquinas and Aristotle, between Aquinas and his
contemporaries, and between Aquinas's thought and problems in
contemporary philosophy.... The volume demonstrates the truth of
two of Kretzmann's most deeply held beliefs about medieval
philosophy: that philosophers today can still profit from careful
study of Aquinas and that, despite the excellent work already being
done in this field, there is much more work to be done.
*Journal of the History of Philosophy*
Although this anthology is entitled Aquinas's Moral Theory, the
essays are topically broader in scope than moral philosophy as we
frequently conceive it.... Eleonore Stump's essay 'Wisdom: Will,
Belief, and Moral Goodness' is noteworthy in using contemporary
illustrations of positions held by Aquinas which are pedagogically
suggestive.
*Philosophia Christi*
The book is historically and philosophically solid and
intellectually stimulating. It is an important work on Aquinas's
moral thought.
