Aquinas

An Audio Guide

By: Edward Feser

Narrated by: Adrian Mulraney

One of the most influential philosophers and theologians in the history of Western thought, St. Thomas Aquinas established the foundations for much of modern philosophy of religion, and is famous for his arguments for the existence of God. In this cogent and multifaceted introduction to the great saint's work, Edward Feser argues that one cannot fully understand Aquinas' philosophy without his theology, and vice-versa.

Covering his thoughts on the soul, natural law, metaphysics, and the interaction of faith and reason, this will prove an indispensable resource for students, experts, or the general reader.

Mind blower

Mr. Feser makes Aquinas understandable to me, the average Joe, but makes me hungry to dive in deeper to St Thomas.

Loved it ...very insightful..Mr Mulraney reading w

loved it...insightful...Mr. Mulraney reading was superb...I wish I had him as a teacher in school...in St.Thomas or any subject...I must purchase other works with/ Mulraney as narrator...thx very much!

Excellent introduction

Aquinas has always seemed hopelessly dense to me, but Professor Fraser’s introduction placed him within the Aristotelian framework in which he operated. I’ll probably have to revisit the book several times to get everything, but it did more for my understanding of Aquinas than anything I’ve ever read before.

Can’t wait to listen a 2nd time

Superb all around. Was skeptical at first because of the somewhat maybe “robotic” tone of his voice? Anyway, it’s hard-hitting exposition and any doubts I had were allayed after the first 1/4th.

Great book

Really explains Aquinas 5 ways they way they are supposed to be understood and in a way that can be understood by those of us lacking in our philosophical knowledge
