The Arguments of Aquinas is intended for readers with philosophical interests, who may not be specialists in medieval philosophy. Some think that a medieval saint must be, as such, wrong, dated, and boring; others feel that a saint, any saint, must be right, relevant, and inspirational. Both groups are likely to misread Aquinas, if indeed they read him at all. The works of great philosophers are products of their times, but that does not lessen their value for us. We profit by reading the works of St Thomas in the same interested but critical way that we read the works of our contemporaries. MacIntosh does not hesitated to compare Thomas's arguments with those of later philosophers as well as with those of his contemporaries and earlier philosophers. He chooses topics from a variety of still interesting problem areas: the existence and attributes of God, including God's foreknowledge and human free will, causality and the origin of the universe, time and necessity, human souls, angels, and the problem of evil. Additionally, the volume looks at his views on honesty and lying, and on human sexuality, on which he is, as ever, philosophically interesting whether or not we accept his conclusions.

Edited and introduced by Robert Arp, Revisiting Aquinas’ Proofs for the Existence of God is a collection of new papers written by scholars focusing on the famous Five Proofs or Ways (Quinque Viae) for the existence of God put forward by St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) near the beginning of his unfinished tome, Summa Theologica. It is not an exaggeration to say that not only is Aquinas’ Summa a landmark text in the history of Western philosophy and Christianity, but also that the Five Proofs discussed therein—namely, the arguments that conclude to the Unmoved Mover, Uncaused Cause, Necessary Being, Superlative Being, and Intelligent Director—are as compelling today as they were in the 13th Century. Written in a debate format with different scholars arguing for and against each Proof, the papers in the book consist of arguments utilizing various combinations of contemporary science and philosophical ideas to bolster the positions. The result is a revisiting of Aquinas’ Proofs that is relevant, stimulating, enlightening, and refreshing.

The Mortara Case And Thomas Aquinas S Defense Of Jewish Parental Authority written by Matthew Tapie and has been published by CUA Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2025 with Law categories.
The Mortara case refers to Pope Pius IX?s 1858 removal of a six-year-old Jewish boy, Edgardo Mortara, from his parents in Bologna, Italy. Six years after the child was born, it was reported that the family?s Christian housekeeper had baptized him after he had fallen ill as an infant and was allegedly in danger of death.Since canon law and civil law stipulated that a baptized child must be raised Catholic, Pius IX used his power as head of the Papal States to remove Edgardo from his family so he could receive a Christian education. Scholars on both sides of the contemporary debate over Pius IX?s decision to remove the child frequently appeal to the teaching of Thomas Aquinas to make their arguments. However, the discussion has overlooked an important fact: the question of how Aquinas?s teaching applied to the case was at the center of the dispute between the Mortara family and Pius IX in 1858. Indeed, the Mortara family and the Roman Jewish community submitted to the Vatican a two-part document, Pro-memoria and Syllabus, that appealed to Aquinas to argue for the return of the child. However, the Vatican?s reply, Brevi cenni, denied the request and cited Aquinas?s teaching to argue that Edgardo?s baptism was valid and that he therefore belonged to the Church. Who had the correct interpretation of Aquinas?s thought? And how does this answer impact Catholic theology and Catholic-Jewish relations today? The Mortara Case and Thomas Aquinas's Defense of Jewish Parental Authority assesses the claims of both sides of the contemporary debate through an analysis of Aquinas?s teaching as it is interpreted in the original Italian and Latin documents from the 1858 case, which are housed in the Vatican Apostolic Archives. The complete text of these documents are reproduced here, with facing English translations, for the first time. Tapie demonstrates that, for Aquinas, Jewish parental authority is an order of the natural law, which Aquinas likened to a spiritualis uterus (spiritual womb). Since Jewish parental authority is an order of the natural law, it cannot be opposed to God?s grace. The Mortara Case and Thomas Aquinas's Defense of Jewish Parental Authority is the first book-length study to examine Aquinas?s teaching against baptism of Jewish children invitis parentibus (against the will of parents) in its thirteenth-century context. The book also treats the reception history of Aquinas?s thought among his Dominican defenders who advanced his position from the late thirteenth century into the middle of the sixteenth century. Tapie?s study concludes by examining the current Code of Canon Law on infant baptism for children of non-Catholic parents, as well as its relation to the Second Vatican Council?s teaching on religious freedom and the Jewish people.

Thomas Aquinas is one of the most important figures in the history of philosophy and philosophical theology. Relying on a deep understanding of Aristotle, Aquinas developed a metaphysical framework that is comprehensive, detailed, and flexible. Within that framework, he formulated a range of strikingly original and carefully explicated views in areas including natural theology, philosophy of mind, philosophical psychology, and ethics. In this book, Christopher Hughes focuses on Aquinas’s thought from an analytic philosophical perspective. After an overview of Aquinas’s life and works, Hughes discusses Aquinas’s metaphysics, including his conception of substance, matter, and form, and his account of essence and existence; and his theory of the nature of human beings, including his critique of a substance dualism that Aquinas attributes to Plato, but is usually associated with Descartes. In the final chapters, Hughes discusses Aquinas’s account of the existence and nature of God, and his treatment of the problem of evil, as well as his ideas about the relation of goodness to being, choice, and happiness. Aquinas on Being, Goodness, and God is essential reading for students and scholars of Aquinas, and anyone interested in philosophy of religion or the history of medieval philosophy.

Herbert McCabe was one of the most original and creative theologians of recent years. Continuum has published numerous volumes of unpublished typescripts left behind by him following his untimely death in 2001. This book is the sixth to appear. McCabe was deeply immersed in the philosophical theology of St Thomas Aquinas and was responsible in part for the notable revival of interest in the thought of Aquinas in our time. Here he tackles the problem of evil by focusing and commenting on what Aquinas said about it. What should we mean by words such as 'good', 'bad', 'being', 'cause', 'creation', and 'God'? These are McCabe's main questions. In seeking to answer them he demonstrates why it cannot be shown that evil disproves God's existence. He also explains how we can rightly think of evil in a world made by God. McCabe's approach to God and evil is refreshingly unconventional given much that has been said about it of late. Yet it is also very traditional. It will interest and inform anyone seriously interested in the topic.

Proving the existence of God is a perennial philosophical ambition. An armchair proof would be the jackpot. Ontological arguments promise as much. This Element studies the most famous ontological arguments from Anselm, Descartes, Plantinga, and others besides. While the verdict is that ontological arguments don't work, they get us entangled in fun philosophical puzzles, from philosophy of religion to philosophy of language, from metaphysics to ethics, and beyond.
