<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>What is the relation of the state to God? How can a man be both a "political animal" and a follower of Christ? These enduring questions are considered in-depth in this carefully selected volume of the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the most influential of the medieval philosophers. Includes explanatory notes and glossary of unusual terms. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Originally published in The Hafner Library of Classics in 1953, <i>The Political Ideas of St. Thomas Aquinas</i> provides important insights into the human side of one of the most influential medieval philosophers. St. Thomas Aquinas (c. 1226-1274) is recognized for having synthesized Christian theology with Aristotelian metaphysics, and for his spirited philosophical defense of Christianity that was addressed to the non-Christian reader. In this collection, editor Dino Bigongiari has selected Aquinas's key writings on politics, justice, social problems, and forms of government, including the philosopher's main works: <i>Regimine Principus (On Kinship)</i> and <i>The Summa Theologica</i>. <p/>In an authoritative discussion of the historical background and evolution of St. Thomas Aquinas's political ideas, Dr. Bigongiari's commentary explains this philosopher's enduring influence and legacy. Accompanying explanatory notes and a helpful glossary of unusual terms and familiar words help to make this practical volume an ideal text for students and general readers alike.
