Selected Philosophical Writings by Thomas Aquinas

A concise collection presents a medieval synthesis of Christian theology and Aristotelian philosophy, arguing that reason and faith are complementary and offering classic arguments for God’s existence alongside an ontology of act and potency and the distinction between essence and existence. It develops a natural-law ethical framework grounded in human nature and the virtues, analyzes intellect, will, causation, and moral choice, and treats universals, human cognition, and the relation between metaphysics and theology. The writings exemplify scholastic method, using careful conceptual distinctions and dialectical argumentation to reconcile philosophical principles with theological commitments.
