The importance of St. Thomas Aquinas in the history of medieval philosophy is beyond dispute. Even medieval philosophers and theologians who disagreed with St. Thomas were careful to take his positions into account. The selections in this volume illustrate the philosophical views of St. Thomas on God, creation, the material world, the problem of evil, human psychology and morality, aesthetics, justice, the nature of law and political science. In his philosophy St. Thomas considered those subjects to the extent they were accessible to unaided human reason.
