This volume begins with excerpts from Aquinas'' commentary on De Anima, excerpts that proceed from a general consideration of soul as common to all living things to a consideration of the animal soul and, finally, to what is peculiar to the human soul. These are followed by the Treatise on Man, Aquinas'' most famous discussion of human nature, but one whose organization is dictated by theological concerns and whose philosophical importance is thus best appreciated when seen as presented here: within the historical philosophical framework of which it constitutes a development. Aquinas'' discussions of the will and the passions follow, providing fruitful points of comparison with other philosophers.

Industry Reviews

The substantial Introduction and the selection have been done . . . extremely well. The Introduction makes illuminating connections between the thought of Aquinas and Descartes. . . . The book's usefulness is enhanced by the bibliography.--Ian Markham, Theological Book Review
